Mount Sinai, Part2

 

Hello John and Doves,

The connection between the events on Mount Sinai and the events of Pentecost is also confirmed in the events that took place on the fiftieth day, when Moses came down from the mountain into the camp and saw the sinful behavior of God's people there. God's punishment for this behavior was that three thousand people died on that fiftieth day. It also happened that Moses broke the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments from God. At Pentecost in Acts 2, three thousand people were saved at the first sermon after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through these two identical numerical values, God shows us the connection of Pentecost with the events at Sinai. By Moses breaking the tablets of the law, it was prophetically shown that in the future, on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out, the Old Testament would be replaced by the New Covenant at the birth of the church.

 

Nowhere else in the Bible are there recorded such intense supernatural physical manifestations of God’s majesty as on Mount Sinai. God’s dealings on Mount Sinai were manifested through thunder, lightning, a very powerful supernatural sound of a trumpet, and the voice of God. When the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, it was only a foretaste of the manifestations, because the events of Pentecost in Acts 2 were not personally fulfilled by the Lord Jesus. Only the first two manifestations mentioned in Ex 19:16 took place there, namely the thunder (Acts 2: a sound) and the lightning (Acts 2: tongues of fire). Other supernatural manifestations from Mount Sinai mentioned in Ex 19:19 are awaiting fulfillment, namely the trumpeting of angels, the voice of archangels, and the trumpet of God. On Mount Sinai, these are the first supernatural manifestations, in Acts 2, some of the manifestations were fulfilled on Pentecost, and at the end, at the rapture on the day of Pentecost, these will be the last supernatural manifestations that have not yet been fulfilled. If Scripture speaks of the last trumpet, it must logically also have been the first. It cannot be the last by itself without the first. This supernatural trumpet and the loud voice of God will be heard at the rapture of the church, and this clearly demonstrates the connection between Pentecost and the events on Mount Sinai. The New Testament states on what occasion the last supernatural manifestations that began on Mount Sinai will be heard, in 1 Cor 15:51-52 and 1 Thess 4:16-17.

 

We know that the fiftieth year is declared in Scripture to be a year of grace. Lev 25:10: “And you shall sanctify the fiftieth year. And you shall proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee for you. And you shall return every man unto his possession; yea, you shall return every man unto his family.” On the fiftieth day, on the feast of Pentecost  (Acts 2) the Holy Spirit was poured out, and God’s saving grace was given to people of all nations through the work of the Lord Jesus. On the fiftieth day on the day Pentecost, we can look forward to the most wonderful day of God’s grace, and that is the resurrection and rapture of God’s people to their heavenly dwellings.

Do we need more evidence from Scripture that God planned the rapture on the day of Pentecost? But bring more evidence.
