Pentecost – Take my people to the 50th day
“Burning bush”, take My people to the 50th day (Pentecost).
When God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, at the feet of Mount Sinai.
God gave these instructions to Moses: “after you have delivered the people from the land of Egypt, you must bring them to Mount Sinai and serve God on that mountain” (as it is written in Exodus 3:1-12).
It took seven weeks, which is 50 days from the time when they left Egypt until the time when they reached Mount Sinai.
In the seventh week (which fell in the season of summer time), Israel reached Mount Sinai on the 50th day in the third month called Sivan according to the Hebrew calendar (God’s calendar).
On the sixth day of the third month on the Hebrew calendar, God revealed Himself on Mount Sinai to the people of Israel. They heard God Himself blow the shofar (Hebrew trumpet, Ram’s horn).
They saw fire, lightening and earth quakes on the mountain. And on that same day God gave them his commandments (the Torah scroll, which is the written Laws. And on that same day Moses recieved the revelation of the God’s Oral spoken and prophetic laws which is written down in the jewish books called “talmud” toady).
He also made Israel His holy nation on that same day.
Read Exodus 19:1-25 and Exodus 20:1-26.
The New Testament church was introduced to the world on the 50th day of Pentecost.
In the book Acts 2:1-4 on that same Day, the day which is called “the day of Pentecost”, the New Testament Church emerged forth through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The scripture in the book of Acts 2:1- declares that the apostles were baptized in the power of the Holy Spirit, and on that same day of Pentecost, 3000 believers who were coming from all the different parts of the world were added unto the church.
The word Pentecost means;
The day that comes after the counting of the 50 days or the 50th day.
Pentecost is a day of entering in a marriage covenant with God. It is also a day of relating and committing ourselves to the relationships that will help us grow spiritually in the things of God,
So that we may be able to become the image that fulfills God’s purpose on the earth. That’s why we count 50 days beginning from Passover and finishes on Pentecost.
This counting of 50 days called “omer counting” helps us to be able to bend or structure our character,
so that we may relate our seven emotions, intellect, feelings and desires to God’s perfect will for this season.
Because: before you get married or before you enter into a covenant relationship with God, you must first prepare yourself for the occasion. so these 50 days of omer counting as it is written in leviticus 23:15-17, is God’s physical method which is designed to prepare our seven emotions for the great day of pentecost.
