Good points JonathanBChristian but what about the idea of a latter harvest, fall harvest, being greater than the spring harvest?
I believe the outpouring of the First Century was in some ways comparable to the spring Holy Days that centred around the harvest of barley and winter wheat?! The Autumn harvest was of a much wider variety of fruit!
Hosea-The coming of the Lord is as the rain, the two comings of rain.
The first coming is the spring, the second coming is the fall.
Whereas the Torah was given on Shavuot and the spirit likewise, The Torah begins and ends on Simchat Torah.
Whereas the Shavuot closes the Pesach, so does Simchat Torah close the Sukkot.
It should also be considered that the ones who received the spirit did so by continuing in prayer counting the omer right up to its fulfillment.
