Glad you mentioned Pentecost..
With study, one can see Christianity gets its ‘birthday’ wrong every year!
About 50 days wrong..
And its because they follow Rome and Judaism..
Christianity would understand in a new way why Jesus used 30/60/100 in the Parable of the Sower), if they followed the calendar He taught Israel..
And 30/60/100 has something to do with what happened to Israel while on the journey to and from Sinai.. What a blessing to see why He used those three folds to describe His Kingdom.. Can lead to even deeper meaning of scripture- maybe unlock more mysteries of the Kingdom..
But again, Judaism and Christianity dont count correctly and miss quite a lesson about His Kingdom..
A parable that scripture says is the central parable to understanding all parables (Mark 4:13)
Maybe Eve coming out of the sleeping body of the First Adam is prophetic -
A shadow of His Bride coming out of the Last Adam’s Body, which too will be sleeping..
We don’t know how much we still don’t know.. It begins by coming out..
But ‘out’ is uncomfortable and takes faith..
Shavuot (seven weeks plus one day) doesn’t have anything to do with fifty? Similar to the Jubilee year (seven weeks of years plus the Shemitah) doesn’t have anything to do with fifty?
Don’t think we should be hijacking this thread, arguing Jewish calendar stuff, which has nothing to do with what it is supposed to be about - Ben Carson.
