Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
23:5 In the fourteenth day of the first month (THE 14TH DAY OF ABIB OR NISAN= BEGINNING OF APRIL) at even (ANYTIME FROM SUNSET OF ONE DAY TILL SUNRISE ON THE SECOND DAY) is the LORD'S Passover (THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE FEASTS).
CHRIST BECAME OUR PASSOVER (I COR. 5:7-8).
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of the unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
SEVEN IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS MEANS 'SPIRITUAL PERFECTION".
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
YOU SHOULD DO NO LABOR WORK.
23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.' "
23:9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:10 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest:
THE ANTITYPE IS CHRIST, THE FIRST FRUITS (I COR. 15:23).
23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
23:12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year of the burnt offering unto the LORD.
ALL THESE OFFERINGS WERE WITHOUT LEAVEN. WHY? BECAUSE LEAVEN IS SYMBOLIC OF SIN.
23:13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
THE OFFERING WAS USUALLY ONE TENTH BUT ON HARVEST TIME THEY DOUBLED THE AMOUND.
23:14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
LET'S GO TO PENTECOST DAY.
23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths (SEVEN WEEKS=49 DAYS) shall be complete:
PASSOVER AND PENTECOST NEVER CHANGES ACCORDING TO GOD'S SOLAR CALENDAR.
23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days (50=Pentecost); and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
THIS WAS PENTECOST FEAST IN THE O.T.
WHAT DO WE CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE ON PENTECOST DAY?
WE CELEBRATE THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
LET'S GO TO THE BOOK OF ACTS.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost (50TH DAY) was fully come, they were all with one accord (MIND) in one place.
THIS REFERS TO THE COMPLETION OF THE SEVEN WEEKS (50 DAYS INCLUSIVE) FROM THE WAVING OF THE SHEAF OF FIRST FRUITS (LEV. 23:15-16).
CHRIST SAID THAT GOD'S SPIRIT WOULD RETURN AND THE APOSTLES WERE NOT TO LEAVE JERUSALEM UNTIL THE SPIRIT APPEARED TO THEM.
2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues (GOING IN MANY DIRECTIONS IN THE GREEK. EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD) like as of fire (GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE), and it sat upon each of them.
2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
THESE ARE KNOWN LANGUAGES NOT BABEL.
2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews (THEY RESIDED IN JERUSALEM), devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
2:6 Now when this was noised (HEARD) abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
THE GREEK SAYS THAT EVERY MAN HEARD THEM SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE AND DIALECT.
2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, "Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?
2:8 And now hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
2:9 Parthians (INDIA), and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia (TURKISH EMPIRE), and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia (PROVINCES OF ASIA MINOR),
2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia (EVERY TRIBE OF ASIA MINOR), in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya (PARTS OF AFRICA) about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God."
EVERYONE HEARD GOD'S MESSAGE THROUGH THE APOSTLES IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND DIALECT.
THE PENTECOSTAL TONGUE IS THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKING HIS WONFERFUL WORKS IN EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD.
2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, "What meaneth this?"
2:13 Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine (DRUNK)."
IT WAS 9 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DRINK WINE ON PENTECOST DAY OR ON ANY FEAST THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.
2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, "Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
IN OTHER WORDS, I WILL TELL YOU IF YOU LISTEN.
2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour (9 AM) of the day.
2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY JOEL THE PROPHET WILL HAPPEN, WHEN GOD'S ELECT WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S COUNSEL DURING TRIBULATION.
2:17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, 'I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy (WOMEN WILL ALSO TEACH), and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
2:18 And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the LORD come;
WHEN CHRIST RETURNS IT'S GOING TO BE AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN BECAUSE OF HIS BRIGHTNESS.
MAKE A NOTE OF MARK 13:23-27.
2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.'
QUOTED JOEL 2:28-31.
WHAT HAPPENED ON PENTECOST DAY IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour (THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION), that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
GOD'S ELECT WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S COURT AND THE SPIRIT WILL SPEAK THROUGH THEM. EVERYONE WILL HEAR GOD'S MESSAGE IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND DIALECT.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO. GOD CHOSE US TO DO THIS AND BRING SATAN DOWN. MANY WILL WAKE UP AT THAT TIME AND REALIZE THAT SATAN IS NOT WHO HE IS BETRAYING TO BE. HE IS NOT JESUS AND HE WILL NEVER BE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A TIME OF DELIVERANCE AND GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH US AGAIN.
HAPPY PENTECOST DAY!
GOD BLESS
