Try studying the ancient religions instead of just saying nice things that sound good. When I was a young man I was told that Jesus drank grape juice because the church did not approve of wine. Well, grapes were harvested during the summer. According to biblical accounts wine was drank during Pentecost. So how did they keep the wine from spoiling between than and spring? They just opened their mouths and let what ever fly into their minds fly out of their mouths.

This is theology in its purist form. This is when theology was completely discredited to me. I started to look for truths by studying history and the ancient religions and I found a sure correlation between these ancient religions. Christianity as written from the bible is plainly a built from sumarian. Persian Zorastrian and greek antecedents. The four gospels largely have their roots in Buddhism. The Apocalypse is plainly Graeco Egyptian. If you will read Sir Walis Budges “Egyptian book of the Dead” you will find where the symbolism came from.
These religions were Esoteric they hid their wisdom in myths. “Give not holy things to the dogs, They will rend it and turn on you, it like throwing pearls to the swine.” This is very much a statement of why things were kept hidden in myths and parables. Parables were used by other religions to give a multiple level of meaning. Most of you get your religion from the same people who told you that Jesus drank grape Juice. In other wards they do not know what they are talking about. Try researching things instead of being a little puppy dog who accepts what idiots tell you. If you read the gospels you will find the holy men of the time playing all kinds of little games with their quibbling niggling nit picking little arguments. They are representative of theologians of all religions and the mind games and mental processes that they play. This is a clear demonstration of why things were held closely. It is better to keep the truths private rather than to allow them to be twisted and mangled by theologians and others who twist and distort things to fit their own agenda.

Go take a pill. The people leading Christianity into existence were willing to give up their lives for it.

If you want to see how scam artists behave look at the current crop of democrat politicians who have made themselves fantastically wealthy through other people’s misery. Or look at the televangelists who prey on people while eagerly endorsing all the madness of the left, again making themselves fantastically wealthy while subverting the very message they claim to serve.

You are promoting your own fantasy that is as old as the hills and about as intelligent as a pile of dirt.

There is a scriptural answer to your question about Pentecost, amnesty.

The short answer, according to scripture, is that Pentecost and Feast of Weeks isn’t a spring feast.
It’s a summer feast.

It occurs in the Father’s 4th month, at the end of that 4th month.
Which is a summer month. On a weekly Sabbath day.
And grapes and new wine is possible in summer

That answer is found in the scriptures. But Judaism and Christianity would beg to differ.
Thankfully the Lamb teaches about that Feast in a Parable of His.

One doesn’t need to study ancient religions to get answers to those type of questions.
His Word has all the answers.
Just need to know where to look while asking, seeking and knocking

What you describe with regards to religion and theology is also discussed in the scriptures.
But there is also a Beast running around today. And lots of Antichrists.
Those are real.
And represented by real powers and principalities in the world today
A real Babylon exists today. A spiritual Babylon.
But still real.

First the natural, then the spiritual

The secret things belong to Him, but the things revealed belong to us, and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.

The last about 2,000 years is equated to about 2,000 demon possessed swine in His scriptures. Unclean doctrines of demons that shouldn’t be consumed.
You are describing a time of darkness/breach in the Kingdom.
That, too, was predicted in the scriptures.
Hidden.
Not in ancient religions.
But in His Word. Genesis to Revealtion.

For His purposes and His Glory
