Pentecost 2022 Begins at Sunset Sat, June 4h. Ends at nightfall Mon, June 6th. (Hebrew calendar, 6th-7th Sivan 5782)
1st Pentecost:
Moses gives the Torah/Commandments at Mt Sinai & the Nation of Israel is born (Ex 19:1-22,23)
At the 1st post resurrection Pentecost:
Christ sends (Matt 3:11, Acts 2:4) His new covenant saving/eternally sealing (2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, Eph 1:13-14, 4:30, 2 Tim 1:14.) indwelling Holy Spirit & the Christian Church is born!
Names: Pentecost (Greek) Shavuot (Hebrew) Festival of Harvest (Ex 23:16), Festival of Weeks (Ex 34:22, Lev 23:15-22, Deut 16:16, 2 Chron 8:13, Num 28:26)
Acts 2:
1 (A) When the day of Pentecost was fully come
4 (A) they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
(NOTE: Right here the new covenant begins: Jesus baptized (Matt 3:11, Jn 1:33, Acts 2:4, Rom 8:9-11) believers with His saving/sealing/indwelling Holy Spirit.
When we believe/place our faith in Christ's sin atoning death (sins required wage PAID), burial (proof Christ died) & resurrection (Father God's receipt, sins required payment received & accepted. (See 1 Cor 15:1-4, Rom 10:9, Eph 1:13).
The new COVENANT realized with a SPIRITUAL SEALING. (2 Cor 1:22, 5:5, Eph 1:13-14, 4:30, 2 Tim 1:14.)
Christ baptizes (Matt 3:11, Acts 2:4, 1:5, 2:38, 4:31, Jn 3:5, 1 Pet 3:21, 1 Cor 6:19, 12:13, Rom 8:9-11) the believer with his salvation/sealing indwelling Holy Spirit.
Early Pentecost traditions:
BOOK OF RUTH
For 3500 yrs the Book of Ruth has been read every Pentecost. The story of Boaz a Kinsman Redeemer. A shadow of Christ & his Bride/Church. Boaz a wealthy landowner of the tribe of Judah, takes Ruth, a gentile, for his wife.
Ruth 3:9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: ""spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid"" for thou art a near kinsman.
(NOTE: Spread therefore thy skirt (TALITH) over thine hand maid: This verse is a marriage proposal. When a Jewish man married a woman, he threw the end of his skirt (TALITH) over her head, covering her, to signify that she was now under his covering/protection. When we say yes to Christ, he seals us with his Holy Spirit of covering/protection)
Rabbinic traditions:
DECORATING THE BRIDE:
Another shadow on Pentecost: A time spent tradition called ""decorating the bride"". (The Church is the Bride of Christ) Jews stayed up all night studying Scripture. In the hope that they will receive a special blessing. They believe that God will favorably answer prayer by briefly opening up the heavens and supply a blessing. Sounds like Thess 4:16 to me! Christ is coming soon for his Bride/Church.
FESTIVAL WITHOUT A DATE
Pentecost was also referred to as "the festival without a date." Originally this Feast didn’t have a fixed date. It was calculated by the new moon, when crops began to bloom prior to Passover & a seven week countdown. With leap months the actual calendar day/date was quite flexible. After the destruction of the Temple the 6th of Sivan became a fixed date. They simply count 50 days after (Nisan 16) firstfruits.
JUDGING THE FRUIT OF TREES:
There is a belief in Jewish tradition that trees are judged by God (The fig tree).
Paul gives a picture of the Judgment Seat (Bema) of Christ. 2 Cor 5:10. The fruit of one’s works will be judged & rewarded. No judgment for sin here, Christ was judged & paid for ALL the believers sins on the cross. (Col 1:14 & Rom 4:7).
Those that reject God's grace & remain in unbelief until life's end/death. Will find themselves at the White Throne Judgment Seat where every jot & title of the law's judgments for sin will have to be paid. Ending in eternal separation from their Creator.
OT physical food harvest feasts foreshadow NT Spiritual soul resurrection harvests.
OT Passover Barley firstfruit/wave & crop harvest. NT Christ the resurrection firstfruit (1 Cor 15:20) & (Matt 27:52,53) where many witness those souls resurrected/harvested after Christ.
OT Pentecost wheat harvest. NT a spiritual resurrection/soul harvest coming on a future Pentecost (I pray this one, Lord come!) 1 Thes 4:16-17.
OT Tabernacles oil, wine, fruit harvest. NT everyone that believes on Christ, after the Pentecost spiritual soul harvest resurrection until His 1000 yr reign ends.
