Pentecost is celebrated by Christians on May 28th. Pentecost was when the Lord gave Moses the law, and was the day the Church was born. Interestingly, Enoch was born and later taken up on Pentecost. Let's explore the prophetic implications in this post.
May 28: Pentecost Celebration!
Pentecost was also the Feast of Weeks. 3 times a year Israel was to gather in Jerusalem to celebrate, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Ingathering.
The religious year began with sinless food, or Christ. 50 days later, there was a harvest of wheat, an early harvest. And finally, there was a Feast celebrating Ingathering towards the end of the year.
The Feast of Ingathering was a recognition that God provided food for Israel, to remind them that they lived for God. To be blessed in this way they had to obey the word of God. "Blessed are you if you keep the Law, and cursed are you if you disobey the Law" was the covenant stipulation God gave to Israel.
The 50 days until Pentecost has an equivalency in number to the number of the years until Jubilee, the release of captives. On the Day of Pentecost, Christ showed that he had freed Israel from the Law of Moses, celebrating an early harvest of Christians in Israel. They are still awaiting their final ingathering.
50 years of age were also the end of the age of service at the Tent of Meeting under the Law. It was the retirement age of the priesthood. It is noteworthy that on the Day of Pentecost there was the beginning revival following the era of the period of Law. The Law had, in a sense, been "retired."
So oddly, on the day the Giving of the Law was celebrated, the retirement of the servants of the Law, the priesthood, was also displayed symbolically. What this means, in my view, is that the Law was given with the idea it would ultimately be without a legitimate priesthood. A new High Priest had to come.
