Pentecost

The Fourth High Day in the annual timeline is Pentecost. It comes 7 weeks after The Feast of Firstfruits Day and is always on a Sunday.

This is the Day in 30A.D. that The Holy Spirit descended on disciples that were meeting to observe the Day. Thus began the so-called "Church Age". I believe it should more properly be called "The Holy Spirit's Age". This Age will end when, on that last Pentecost of The Tribulation Period, The Holy Spirit is taken out from The World to make way for God's final Judgements. So we see the dual fullfillments again of a Holy Day.

The Feast of Weeks ( or Feast of Firstfruits ) represents this Holy Spirit Age that we are still in. The fact that this 7 week period is bracketed by 2 always-on-Sunday Days is God's way of picturing to us that Sunday has indeed been the principle Day of Worship these last almost 2,000 years. The 4th Commandment meanwhile, has been kept by observing the annual Holy Days. Those Christians who have NOT been keeping The Holy Days have been sinning thereby. And, all pastors who have never instructed their flocks to keep the Days will be in a precarious and embarrassing position on Judgement Day!

I will take a break for awhile on the Holy Day series to do other articles and book reviews. Will resume in August with the 4 Fall Days.
