We are
now in the third month called Sivan, Esther 8:9, day 7
Today’s topic:
Feast of Weeks – Pentecost (50 days) - the Feast of Harvest,
a sabbath
Paul
observed Pentecost / Feast of Weeks
Acts 20
[16] For Paul had
determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia:
for he hasted, if it were possible for him,
to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost / Feast
of Weeks.
1 Cor.
16
[8] But I will
tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost / Feast of
Weeks.
All
the Apostles
Acts 2
[1] … when the
day of Pentecost / Feast of Weeks was
fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
“Offering
time”
None shall appear before me empty
Exod.23
[14]
Three times you shall keep a feast unto me in the year.
[15]
You shall keep the feast of unleavened
bread: (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I
commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month abib – ha aviv;
for in it you came out from Egypt:
and none
shall appear before me empty)
[16] And the feast of harvest (weeks, Pentecost),
the first fruits of your labors, which you hast sown in the
field: and the feast of ingathering, which
is in the end of the year, when you hast gathered in your labors out
of the field.
[17]
Three times in the year all your males shall appear
before the Lord Yehovah.
Praise Yah
Feast of Weeks / Harvest – 50 days, Pentecost
The giving of the Law and Spirit
The giving of the law / Torah,
The ten Commandments
Exod.20
[1] And
God spoke all these words, saying,
[2] I am Yehovah your God, which have brought thee out of the
land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3]
You shall have no other gods before me.
[4] You
shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness
of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] You
shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yehovah your God am a jealous God, visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me;
[6]
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
[7] You
shall not take the name of Yehovah your
God in vain; for Yehovah will not hold him
guiltless that takes his name in vain.
[8] Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
[9] Six
days shall you labor, and do all your work:
[10] But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your
God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your
daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your
stranger that is within your gates:
[11] For in six
days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the
sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it.
[12] Honor your
father and your mother: that your days may be long upon the land which Yehovah your God giveth thee.
[13] You
shall not kill.
[14] You
shall not commit adultery.
[15] You
shall not steal.
[16] You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
[17] You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not
covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is your neighbor’s.
[20] …God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces
that you sin not.
The
giving of the Holy Spirit to the Jews:
Acts 2
[1] And
when the day of Pentecost (Feast of Weeks, harvest) was fully come, they were
all with one accord in one place.
[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.
[3] And
there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each
of them.
[4] And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Feast of
weeks
[5] And there
were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout
men, out of every nation under heaven.
[6] Now when this
was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because
that every man heard them speak in his own language.
[7] And they were
all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these
which speak Galilaeans?
[8] And how
hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
[9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites,
and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and
Asia,
[10] Phrygia,
and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of
Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
[11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our
tongues the wonderful works of God.
[12] And they were
all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, what does this means?
[13] Others
mocking said, these men are full of new wine.
[14] But Peter,
standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, You men
of Judaea, and all you that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and
hearken to my words:
[15] For these are
not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
[16] But
this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel 2;
Joel 2
[28] And it shall
come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your
young men shall see visions:
[29] And also upon
the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
[30] And I
will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire,
and pillars of smoke.
[31] The sun shall
be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the
terrible day of Yehovah come.
[32] And it shall
come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Yehovah shall
be delivered:
for in mount Zion and
in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yehovah hath
said, and in the remnant whom Yehovah shall
call.
Back to
Acts 2
Peter
quotes Joel 2:
[17] And it shall
come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
[18] And on my
servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and
they shall prophesy:
[19] And I
will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath;
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:
[20] The sun shall
be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable
day of the Lord come:
[21] And it shall
come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
[22] You men of Israel, hear these words; Yeshua of
Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs,
which God did by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know:
[23] Him, being
delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken,
and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
[24] Whom God had
raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that
he should be holden of it.
[25] For David (in
Psalm 16 below) speaks concerning him,
I
foresaw Yehovah always before my face, for
he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
Pss.16
[8] I have set Yehovah always
before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
[9] Therefore my
heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
[10] For you will
not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer Your Holy One to
see corruption.
[11] You will show
me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at your right hand
there are pleasures for evermore.
Back to
Acts 2, quoted from Psalm 16
[26]
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh
shall rest in hope:
[27]
Because you will not leave my soul in hell, neither will you
suffer your Holy One to see corruption. The
Resurrection
[28] You have made
known to me the ways of life; you shall make me full of joy with your
countenance.
[29] Men
and brethren let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David that he is both
dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day.
[30]
Therefore being a prophet (David), and
knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his (David’s)
loins, according to the flesh, He, (the Father) would raise up Messiah to sit
on his throne;
The
oath:
Pss.132
[11] Yehovah had sworn in truth unto David; he will not
turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body
will I set upon thy throne.
[31] He seeing this before spoke (in Psalm 16) of the resurrection of Messiah, that his soul was
not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
[32] This Yeshua had God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.
[33] Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed
forth this, which you now see and hear.
[34] For David is
not ascended into the heavens: (here in Psalm 110) but
he says himself, Yehovah said
unto my Lord (Messiah), Sit you on my right
hand,
[35] Until I make
your foes your footstool.
Pss.110:1
Yehovah said unto my
Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
[36] Therefore let
all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Yeshua, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Messiah.
[37] Now when they
heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the
rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
[38] Then Peter
said unto them,
Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Yeshua the
Messiah for the remission of sins, and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
[39] For the
promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even
as many as the Lord our God shall call.
[40] And with many
other words did he testify and exhort, saying, save yourselves from this untoward generation.
[41] Then they that
gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls.
[42] And they
continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and
in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
[43] And fear came
upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
[44] And all that
believed were together, and had all things common;
[45] And sold their
possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
[46] And they,
continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
[47]
Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added
to the church daily such as should be saved.
The
giving of the Spirit to the Gentiles:
Acts 10
[34]
…Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I
perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
[35] But
in every nation he that fears Him, and works righteousness,
is accepted with him.
[36] The word which
God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Yeshua the Messiah: (He is
Lord of all)
[37] That word, I say, you know, which was published
throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
preached;
[38] How God
anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy
Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
[39] And we are
witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in
Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
[40] Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
[41] Not to all the
people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and
drink with him after he rose from the dead.
[42] And he
commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was
ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
[43] To
Him, Yeshua give all
the prophets’ witness, that through His name whosoever
believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.
[44]
While Peter yet spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all them
which heard the word.
[45] And
they of the circumcision (Jews) which believed were astonished, as many as came
with Peter, because
that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift
of the Holy Spirit.
[46]
For they
heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.
Then
answered Peter, can any man forbid water, that these should not be
baptized, which
have received the Holy Spirit as well as we (Jews)?
[48] And he
commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
Baptism
the Holy Spirit at Ephesus
Acts 19
[1] And it came to
pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,
Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding
certain disciples,
[2] He said unto
them, Have you received the Holy Spirit
since you believed? And they said unto him, we have not so much as
heard whether there is any Holy Spirit.
[3] And he said
unto them, unto what then were you
baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
[4] Then said Paul,
John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people,
that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on
Messiah Yeshua.
[5] When
they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
[6] And when Paul
had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit
came on them; and they spoke with
tongues, and prophesied.
[7] And
all the men were about twelve.
In closing for today:
Yes, the commandments and the Holy Spirit are applicable for today.
