The Scriptures inform us as to what days of the year, on the Spiritual Year Calendar for Israel, are the most important, of greatest spiritual consequence and value. Since The Creation, the foundation is the weekly Day 7 Shabbat. A monthly foundation for new beginnings is the monthly Rosh Chodesh, the arrival of the New Moon. Please read Isaiah 66 about how there will be a time when "all flesh" shall come and worship before YHWH on those days, weekly and monthly. In addition to these days of paramount importance, Leviticus 23 informs us of 7 special set apart Appointed Times, Appointment Times, the Feasts of Elohim. Paul notes that these are "shadow pictures of the Messiah."
Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy and the Messiah in the Book of Revelation SOLEMNLY WARN, not to add or delete from the words of the testimony, from the words of the Scriptures. Example. The Essenes believed in additional spiritual days of importance, NOT COMMANDED in the Scriptures. Their Feast of New Wine and Feast of New Olive Oil DO NOT APPEAR IN LEVITICUS 23. The Essenes were single men who did not marry or have children. They believed the end of the world was near. Their community in the desert died out. They added to the Scriptures these 2 Feast Days. Does Leviticus 23 tell us that Shavuot, Feast # 4 is in 3 parts, each 50 days apart? No. Would the Messiah have told His poor fisherman disciples, living on a common purse, to wait about 10 days or 60 days at Jerusalem for the arrival of the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit? House guests of Lazarus at Bethany for 60 days? Jerusalem was expensive. The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) is at Days 49-50 of The Counting of the Omer, begun on Nisan 16. The Omer is not counted thrice, for 3 periods of 50 days each, 150 days. The Essenes added to the words of the Scriptures. The Essene Feast of New Wine or Essene Feast of New Olive Oil are NOT PART OF THE SCRIPTURALLY COMMANDED DAYS of Greatest Spiritual Importance, Consequence, and Value. Be wary of the non-Scriptural traditions of men, which add to or delete from the Scriptures. Moses and Messiah have WARNED US!
If 2025 is the Year of The Blessed Hope, when is The Day of Shavuot fully come? After 49-50 Days, or after 100 Days, or after 150 Days? The words Shavuot and Pentecost do not convey the same meanings. The Season of Shavuot extends all the way to the Feast of Trumpets. However, the Day of Shavuot and the Season of Shavuot are not the same. Please consider the earliest calendar reckoning of Shavuot Day, at the conclusion of The Counting of the Omer from 6-1 to 3 on the Torah Calendar. Should Shavuot and Pentecost be celebrated on the same day? Who will decide to look up and WATCH for the Messiah earlier, than later in June or July? We shall see...
With Love and Shalom,Jean
