Today’s Topic
The last day of the Feast of unleavened bread,
a holy convocation, a Sabbath
Exod.12
[15]
Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away
leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth
leavened bread from the first day until the seventh
day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
[16]
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be
an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save
that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in
this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore
shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of
the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth
day of the month at even.
[19]
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[20]
Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened
bread.
Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah
spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts
of Yehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no
work therein: it is the sabbath of Yehovah in all
your dwellings.
[4] These are the
feasts of Yehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their
seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yehovah's
passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto Yehovah: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8] But ye shall
offer an offering made by fire unto Yehovah seven days: in the seventh day is an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Deut.16
[1] Observe
the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto Yehovah thy God: for in the month of Abib Yehovah thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by
night.
[2] Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto Yehovah thy God, of the flock and the
herd, in the place which Yehovah shall choose to place his name there.
[3]
Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened
bread therewith, even the bread of affliction;
for thou camest forth out of the
land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy
life.
2Kgs.4[42] And there came a man from
Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits,
twenty loaves of barley,
and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
1Cor.5[8] Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Reminder:
We are counting the "7 Sabbaths" שֶׁבַע
שַׁבָּתוֹת
not omers as Judaism and Messianics do.
This Saturday, April 6, 2013, will be
the first of seven sabbaths we
were told to count in Scripture.
An "omer" עֹמֶר is a "sheaf" of barley
עמר
omer - A dry
measure of 1/10 ephah
(about 2 liters
Lev.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 shall be
complete:
[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; חֲמִשִּׁים יוֹם and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah
50 days from First Fruits: Pentecost
Weekly Sabbath, Saturday May 18 - “Offering time”
Feast of Weeks - (A
Sabbath) Sunday, May 19th
(There are 2 Sabbaths in
a row)
Feast of Weeks, Hag Sh'vu-ot - חַג
שָׁבֻעֹת
Feast of Harvest Hag ha katseer - חַג
הַקָּצִיר
Pentecost πεντηκοστή - pentēkostē
The firstfruits of wheat harvest
Exod. 34 [22] And thou shalt
observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest
…
-----------------------
All the apostles and disciples tarried
there as Yeshua said for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as spoken by the
prophet Joel
Many Jews from around the world were
there for the Feast of Weeks – Pentecost
Acts.2
[1] And when the day of
Pentecost 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 Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there
were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
---------------------------
Apostle Paul keeping Feast of Weeks after the resurrection of Messiah:
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.
1Cor.16[8] But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
--------------------
I heard some people are NOT keeping the Sabbaths as
prescribed in Scripture.
Let’s go over this again:
This pertains to any Sabbath
This is how
simple it is:
The Sabbath is the 4th Commandment of
the covenant given to us at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
Exod. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy.

Six days shalt thou

work:
[10]
But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah thy God:

-----
Back
to verse 10
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy 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.
--------
Isa. 58
[13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,
from doing thy pleasure on my holy day;
and call the sabbath a
delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and
shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to
ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of
Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.
