Pentecost - the first harvest


I know all of God's Holy days are very special and are part of a wonderful picture of his plan, but Pentecost (or Yom Bikurim) has always kept lovely pictures in my mind.
A time when God's Spirit is outpoured, like rain in the desert, bringing life and much growth. (Joel 2:23-24)
We've observed this day, counting 50 days from the Sabbath during Unleavened Bread (see Ex 34:22; Lev. 23:15), yesterday. This is the time of the gathering of the firstfruits, with Christ as the first of the firstfruits (1Cor 15:20-23) and everything in order.

Hi there Alecat,

Trust that you and your family had a blessed Shavout and that Yahweh will reveal more and more about Himself to you through your obedience :)

I'm off to the city for a few days, but when I get back I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog.

Many Blessings,

Christine
