Shavuot

Shalom!

It is Shavuot, Sivan 6, 5771...

The Feast of Weeks...The Fourth of the Spring Feasts of The Lord...

The "Early Rains" spoken of by the Prophet Yoel/Joel...

The Third of the Regallim MOEDIM/Appointed Times that HaShem commanded "all men to appear before Me in the Temple in Jerusalem"...

Shavuot is often referred to as the "Second Giving of the Law"...the "First Giving of the Law" was at Mt. Sinai when YHWH thundered with fire from His Throne Room and gave Moshe the Ten Words/Ten Commandments...On Shavuot that year that Yeshua was Crucified and Resurrected, Flames of Fire appeared over the heads of His Talmidim as they were "assembled in Shlomo's Colonade" as the three Regallim Feasts (Pesach/Shavuot/Succoth) prescribed they must...those who saw these "Flames of Fire" appear over the heads of His Followers thought they were "drunk" but Kefa replied that "this is only the third hour" of the day, we are not drunk with wine"...the Brit Hadassah records in The Acts of The Apostles that 3000 Jewish men were immersed that Day...acknowledging that Yeshua was The Messiah...and doing t'shuvah/repentance for the past sins of their lives...countless thousands of others witnessed these "Flames of Fire" falling upon the heads of the Talmidim...The Ruach was poured out that day upon mankind...and The Comforter has been with us ever since...

Let us reflect on this "Outpouring" that G-d sent to us that Shavuot...and let us affirm with the multiple thousands of our Brothers and Sisters who have staked their Eternal Salvation on the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Yeshua, that He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords of our lives!

Chag Sameach!

Shalom!
