Rabbinic Pentecost May 31/Jun 1
(Wednesday/Thursday). Biblical Pentecost June 2/3 (Friday, Sabbath)
Names in
the Torah
In the Bible, Shavuot is called the
Festival of Weeks (Hebrew: חג השבועות,
Ḥag ha-Shavuot, Exodus 34:22,
Deuteronomy
16:10); Festival of Reaping (Hebrew: חג הקציר, Ḥag ha-Katsir, Exodus 23:16),
and Day of the First Fruits (Hebrew יום הבכורים, Yom ha-Bikkurim, Numbers 28:26).
Pentecost
events or close to it.
King
David was born and died on Pentecost. According to rabbinic tradition, Enoch
was born and was raptured on Pentecost. The Church was born on Pentecost (Acts
2). Pentecost is known as "the festival without a date"—no man knows
the day or hour! Jews believe that the "fruit of the trees" is judged
on Pentecost. Hmm. The Judgment Seat of Christ? The Jews believe that on
Pentecost the heavens open for a brief instant and that God answers
prayer—perhaps in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye! The Dispensation of Law
occured on Pentecost. The Noahic Covenant was given on Pentecost. Ruth, a
Gentile bride, was chosen by Boaz, a type of Christ, on PENTECOST, bringing
this Gentile bride into the Messianic lineage! Pentecost is the day the Jews as
they say, stay up all night to "decorate the bride!" Why?
God
married mankind on the first Pentecost in 1441 or 1446 BCE in a Shemitah year.

Israel became a nation on the Friday before Pentecost Sunday.

The first Shavuot was in
the 1446-1441 BCE timeframe and the Church was in 28-34 CE timeframe.
Giving of the First Fruits
Ceremony of First Fruits, Bikkurim
Shavuot was also the first day on
which individuals could bring the Bikkurim (first fruits)
to the Temple in Jerusalem
(Mishnah Bikkurim 1:3). The Bikkurim were brought
from the Seven Species
for which the Land of Israel
is praised: wheat, barley, grapes, figs,
pomegranates, olives,
and dates (Deut. 8:8).
In the largely agrarian society of
ancient Israel, Jewish farmers would tie a reed around the first ripening
fruits from each of these species in their fields. At the time of harvest, the
fruits identified by the reed would be cut and placed in baskets woven of gold
and silver. The baskets would then be loaded on oxen whose horns were gilded
and laced with garlands of flowers, and who were led in a grand procession to Jerusalem. As the farmer and his entourage
passed through cities and towns, they would be accompanied by music and
parades.
At the Temple in Jerusalem,
each farmer would present his Bikkurim to a Kohen
in a ceremony that followed the text of Deut. 26:1–10.
The text proceeds to retell the history of the Jewish people as they went into exile in Ancient Egypt and were enslaved and oppressed; following which God redeemed them and brought them to the land of Israel.
The ceremony of Bikkurim conveys the Jew's gratitude to God both for the first fruits of the field and for His guidance throughout Jewish history.
The Wheat Harvest
The Wheat Harvest (Exodus 34:22; Deut 16:10). What is indeed textually connected in the Bible to the Feast of Shavuot, is
the season of the grain harvest, specifically of the wheat, in the Land of
Israel. In ancient times, the grain harvest lasted seven weeks and was a season
of gladness (Jer. 5:24,
Deut. 16:9–11,
Isa. 9:2).
It began with the harvesting of the barley during Passover and ended with the
harvesting of the wheat at Shavuot.
The Two Breads lift up at Shavuot are pictured as: Judah and Israel, and/or Jews and Christians.
Giving of
the Torah
While most of the Talmudic Sages
concur that the Torah was given on the sixth of Sivan
in the Hebrew Calendar;
R. Jose holds that it was given on the seventh of that month. According to the
classical timeline, the Israelites arrived at the wilderness of Sinai on the
new moon (Ex. 19:1)
and the Ten Commandments
were given on the following Shabbat (i.e., Saturday). The question of whether
the new moon fell on Sunday or Monday is undecided (Talmud, tractate Shabbat
86b). In practice, Shavuot is observed on the sixth day of Sivan in Israel and a second day is added in the
Jewish diaspora (in keeping with a separate rabbinical ruling that applies to
all biblical holidays, called Yom tov sheni shel
galuyot, Second-Day Yom Tov in the Diaspora).
Torah studies read can
be on creation,
The Exodus, the giving of the Ten Commandments, the Shema,
and the 613 Laws of God.
The Book
of Jubilees and the Essenes
This literal interpretation of
'Shabbat' as the weekly Shabbat, was shared by the 2nd-century BCE author of
the Book of Jubilees
who was motivated by the priestly sabbatical solar calendar of the 3rd and 2nd
centuries BCE, which was designed to have festivals and Sabbaths fall on the
same day of the week every year. On this calendar (best known from the Book of
Luminaries in 1 Enoch), Shavuot fell on the 15th of
Sivan, a Sunday. The date was reckoned fifty days from the first Sabbath after Passover (i.e. from the 25th of Nisan).
Thus, Jub. 1:1 claims that Moses ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Torah "on
the sixteenth day of the third month in the first year of the Exodus of the
children of Israel from Egypt".
In Jub. 6:15–22 and 44:1–5, the
holiday is traced to the appearance of the first rainbow on the 15th of Sivan,
the day on which God made his covenant with Noah.
The Qumran community, commonly associated with
the Essenes, held in its library several texts
mentioning Shavuot, most notably a Hebrew original of the Book of Jubilees which sought to fix the
celebration of this Feast of Weeks on 15 of Sivan, following their
interpretation of Exodus 19:1.
Book of Ruth
The Book of Ruth (מגילת רות,
Megillat Ruth) is read on Shavuot because: (1) King David, Ruth's descendant,
was born and died on Shavuot (Jerusalem Talmud Hagigah 2:3); (2) Shavuot is harvest time
[Exodus 23:16], and the events of Book of Ruth occur at harvest time; (3) The gematria (numerical value) of Ruth is 606,
the number of commandments given at Sinai in addition to the 7 Noahide Laws
already given, for a total of 613; (4) Because Shavuot is traditionally cited
as the day of the giving of the Torah, the entry of the entire Jewish people
into the covenant of the Torah is a major theme of the day. Ruth's conversion
to Judaism, and consequent entry into that covenant, is described in the book.
This theme accordingly resonates with other themes of the day; (5) Another
central theme of the book is hesed (loving-kindness), a major theme of the
Torah.
Pentecost: Because the
month of Abib began two days later than expected, Shavuot went from
Wednesday/Thursday to Friday (Day 6th)/6th of Sivan and Shabbat (7th of Sivan)
giving us a picture of man to God just
as we saw with Passover of man raising up to God. This is seen as a type of
rapture.

Gen 1: 14; Luke 21:25-26
There are 14 events in
June this year but for Pentecost, we are looking at 4 events especially.
Moon occults Regulus in
Leo on the Rabbinic Day of Pentecost (May 31, 2017) on Day 4.
Moon is 1 quarter full
on June 1.
Venus and Uranus in
Pisces near vertical line on Friday and on the Sabbath Jupiter and the Moon in
Virgo which is the Biblical Pentecost. On both nights they form a “Yud” which
is the smallest letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and a double “Yud” makes the word
“Adonai” which means Lord/Aleph Tav. If you have a necklace on and Virgo and
Leo is the clasp, then Pisces is at the center of the necklace just as the
Aleph-Tav is the clasp and SHLM (Shalom) makes up the center of the necklace.
Uranus refers to the
coming together of the House of Judah and the House of Israel (Jer 31:31-36).
Venus is the Morning Star and becomes the Bright and Morning Star on Sept. 23rd,
2017.
Jupiter is the King
Planet and the Moon is the Bride so we have a wedding picture of the King and
the Bride.
Pentacost
(or Shavuot, the “Feast of Weeks) is coming on May 30–June 1, 2016. Note:
The Jewish calendar date begins at sundown of the night beforehand. Thus all
holiday observances begin at sundown on the secular dates listed, with the
following day being the first full day of the holiday. Jewish calendar dates
conclude at nightfall.
This
Holiday has a special meaning to Christians and Jews…
The
Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians, and around 1,400 B. C. God used a
man named Moses to deliver them from their slavery. After leaving Egypt, the
Israelites wandered through the wilderness on their way to a good land, which
God wanted them to live in. While they were in the wilderness, God gave Moses
the law, which Moses taught the Israelites to obey. The 10 Commandments were
given at Mt. Sinai, a mountain in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt. This
law provided the infrastructure for their society, for generations to come, and
still impacts us today.
Every
year on the holiday of Shavuot the Jewish people renew
their acceptance of God’s gift, and God “re-gives” the Torah. The
word Shavuot means “weeks.” It marks the completion of the seven-week counting
period between Passover and Shavuot.
The
giving of the Law (or Torah) was a far-reaching spiritual event, compared to a
wedding between God and the Jewish people. Shavuot also means “oaths,” for on
this day God swore eternal devotion to the Jewish people, and they in turn
pledged everlasting loyalty to Him.
Two
wheat loaves would be offered at the Holy Temple, and the Jewish people
would begin to bring their first fruits, to thank God for Israel’s bounty.
Just as
Passover celebrates physical freedom of the Israelite’s redemption from bondage
in Egypt, Shavuot celebrates spiritual liberation through their experience of
God’s presence and revelation at Sinai. In the Passover exodus, God brought a
people out from among the nations.
At
Sinai on that first Shavuot and later at Pentecost, God created a nation
set apart for Himself. He revealed Himself and how to live as a redeemed
community, a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Exodus 19:6).
As the
Jewish people celebrate this feast year after year, they recount the awesome
events that took place at the foot of Mt. Sinai. It is what defines them as a
people. Therefore it was not by chance that God chose Shavuot, called Pentecost
among Christians, for this miraculous event took place exactly seven weeks
following Jesus’s last Passover. This was a time when Jerusalem would have been
filled with Jews from all the surrounding lands who had come with great
anticipation to “meet with the Lord”—the meaning of the “appointed times”
listed in Leviticus 23—Jewish people of that time had a keen sense of this.
The
first followers of Jesus must have had a greater sense of expectation as they
were told by the Lord Himself that, “in a few days you will be immersed in the
Holy Spirit!” (see Acts 1:5) before He was taken up before their eyes.
Acts 2
records that approximately 120 followers of Jesus were gathered in
Jerusalem for the Shavuot celebration when “suddenly there came a sound from
the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where
they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which
separated and came to rest on each one of them. They were all filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages, as the Spirit enabled
them” (Acts 2:1-4).
No
longer would man walk by commandments on tablets of stone, but by the Holy
Spirit, who would write the law on hearts of flesh and give power to overcome
the powers of darkness…the law of sin and death…while empowering us to become
witnesses to the ends of the earth! The “church” had been born.
Just as
the nation of Israel had been created in the wilderness of Sinai to reveal the
one true God to the world, now the doors had opened to the nations to come and
know and worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Whereas God once dwelt in the
Temple fashioned of bricks and mortar, by His Spirit, He now dwells in vessels
of clay.
Whereas
men once went up to Jerusalem to enjoy God’s presence, His presence now remains
with us as we travel the earth taking His wonderful message—this Good News of
the Messiah of Israel to the Jewish People and to the nations.
You
have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire;
to darkness, gloom and storm; to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking
words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,
because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the
mountain, it must be stoned to death.” The sight was so terrifying that Moses
said, “I am trembling with fear.”
But you
have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.
You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the
church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to
God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, to Jesus
the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better
word than the blood of Abel.
See to
it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they
refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away
from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but
now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the
heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that
is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are
receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship
God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
(Hebrews 12:18-29)
Mount Sinai 1) God gave the Law with fire Exo 20:18 And all the
people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet,
and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it,
they removed, and stood afar off.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the
earth is mine:

Daniel’s 1290, 1335 days
1290, 1335 days. The
1,290 and 1,335 days of Daniel 12:11–12
point to the observance of Shavuot in a restored Israel, as reckoned by the
priestly solar calendar. These durations are exactly 30 and 45 days longer than
the 3½ years mentioned in Dan. 7:25
and 9:27. The period of 3½ years amounts to
1,260 days in the priestly solar calendar because the equinoxes and solstices
count as markers of the seasons rather than monthly days. The blessings expected
at the end of the 1,335 days pertain to the resurrection to "everlasting
life" mentioned a few verses earlier (12:2),
and this is the reward to those who refused to forsake the covenant unto death
(Dan. 11:22,
11:28, 11:30,
11:33–35), while those who forsook the
covenant (11:30–32) face "everlasting
contempt".
We will be going back in history looking at 1290
years and then 1335 years from 2015-2018 timeframes just for the fun of it. Our
first stop is 727 timeframe. Next will be 1335 years and then 1290 and then
1335 all the way back to Creation which will take up 3 more pages.
