According to the Book of Exodus 19: 10-13, Moses received divine instruction as he journeyed to Mount Sanai for a Great Appointment with YHWH. He as their meditator, was to go to the 12 tribes' people and consecrate them on Days 48 and 49 of their journeys from Egypt. They were to bathe themselves and to wash their clothes. And refrain from sexual relations with their wives. These were to be done as ACTS OF PREPARATION for the Tremendous Events on the 3rd Day, Day 50, the First Shavuot. Todd D Bennett has valuable resources about Shavuot at www. shemayisrael.net He has a "Shavuot Celebration Guide" and his 5-19-2025 newsletter "Learning to Live in the Wilderness." The Yisraelites were to prepare for a wedding. Whose? THEIR WEDDING! This was a new COVENANT with The Ten Commandments as THEI WEDDING VOWS. Omer Days 48-50 in 2025, according to the Torah Calendar, will be 5-31 to 6-1, 6-1 to 2, and 6-2 to 3. Please note that THE SHAVUOT FOUNDATION IS EXODUS 19, not Acts 2! Each is very important. Do not ignore Exodus 19 and value only Acts 2. There is DOUBLE APPOINTED TIME/APPOINMENT TIME INSTRUCTIONS to be learned, not one or the other.
Todd shares the following advice from his 5-19-2025 newsletter "Stay Focused on the Journey to the Mountain." "We have the benefit of hindsight. We know there is a wedding in our future, if and when we arrive at the Mountain. There will be trials and tests along the way, but there is also protection and provision from YHWH. All we need to do is Keep Counting and stay focus on the journey to the Mountain."
At www. torahcalendar,com is a 1-page 2025 Omer Count Chart to use daily. The Messiah counted the Omer each year of His life. He valued the 50 Days of the mini-Jubilee each year. We can be sure that He is Counting the Omer Each Day NOW. We can join Him in this and FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE. You can join in any day. I hope we ENJOY Omer Days 48, 49, and 50 above all the other Days. These are The Grand Finale Days, especially meaningful of all the 50 Days. They arrive soon! May we be blessed in appreciating them! Blessed Shavuot!
With Love and Shalom,Jean
