When have you looked forward to a new start?
Acts 2• Acts 2:1-4 (ESV)
1 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Feasts• Passover• Firstfruits• Pentecost
Passover• Passover was to be a
lasting ordinance for generations to come.
• It was observed on the 14th day of the first month (religious year) beginning at twilight.
• The Passover lamb must be a perfect male with no spot or blemish.
Firstfruits• Firstfruits are offerings
given for the spring barley harvest.
• The first ripe sheaf (firstfruits) of barley was offered to the Lord as an act of dedicating the harvest to him.
Firstfruits• On this third day (the day of Firstfruits), the
priest waved the sheaf before the Lord.• Counting the days (omer) then began and
continued until the day after the seventh Sabbath, the 50th day.
• This 50th day is called Shavuot or Pentecost.
Pentecost• Pentecost is celebrated 50 days
after the Passover Sabbath.• Shavuot means “weeks;”
Pentecost means “fifty” in Greek.• This festival is also known as the
Feast of Harvest or Latter Firstfruits.
• Pentecost is one of the three pilgrimage feasts.
Pentecost• Pentecost is the time to
present an offering of grain of the summer wheat harvest to the Lord to show joy and thankfulness.
• Two loaves of baked bread with leaven, are presented to God.
