Teaching on the Festival of Shavuot/Weeks/Pentecost from a Messianic Jewish Perspective. Tackling popular misconceptions. New covenant is not antithetical to previous foundational covenants. Parallels between the gift of the Torah and the gift of the Ruach ha Kodesh. Same date, the fiftieth day. Same time, early in the morning. Boy taking girl out on date showing up at 5 in the morning. Both public events. Visible glory. Thundering, earthshaking, audible. Tangible, indeniable, in your face theophany. Common misconception that the disciples were in the upper room when they were in the temple. 70 languages of the nations. Flames of fire reminiscent of Moshe's burning bush. Violent rushing wind and shofar blast. Same people, the nation of Israel. When was the birth of the church. Mystical birth of Mashiach's bride from his side pictured by Chavah from Adam's side. Same person glorified. Same Law given, clarified, upheld, and proclaimed. Same preparation. People redeemed and brought out of the system and into the wilderness. Third day in millenial terms.
