This week on -Encounter God's Truth,- we draw from the classic teaching of Bible scholar Dr. John Whitcomb, as we begin a two-part study on -The Significance of Pentecost.--We open by looking at the Old Testament background of this harvest festival, which God gave as a special time for all the men of Israel to gather for worship.-Dr. Whitcomb showed how, according to Jewish tradition, Pentecost in the Old Testament was a remembrance of the day when Moses gave the law at Mount Sinai-when God officially formulated the nation of Israel.-Later, host Wayne Shepherd asked our teacher about the Holy Spirit's Old Testament work and whether or not Old Testament believers were regenerated.-God's Word is true from the beginning to the end- Thanks for listening to it with us today.
