( More great event-pix below this brief Shavu'ot message )
As the FCC Team indeed ' made a Holy sound unto the Lord ' Yeshua Messiah, MANY of us discerned and felt the tingling of Holy Spirit ( Ruach HaKodesh ) right down to the very soles of our feet.
Hallelujah Again !
On this Holy Feast day of the Lord our God, we basked in the Sun, .... or should I say ' a day of basking in the S-O-N !, along with the edification of both Messianic Jews & Gentiles seemed to aptly point to a 'FULLNESS' not seen since the Early Apostolic Church.
In yielding to Holy Spirit, we were able to discern the more vivid picture of how important this feast day of SHAVU'OT 'already was' for the Jewish people. You SEE, before they ever gathered in Jerusalem to await Yeshua's promise of the Holy Spirit, ISRAEL was given Adonai's TORAH ( over 1500 years prior ) on the very same day ... the (Feast of Weeks/Shavu'ot ) !!!
Get the picture ? ... ' Aha !~ YES, there's MORE. '
When we jettison the Jewishness of Jesus and his Holy Gospel, we deprive ourselves of the greater fullness of ' ONE NEW MAN '.
SHAVU'OT, like Passover commemorates a special EVENT in the history of the Jewish people ... recorded in Exodus 19-20, during which Adonai's presence descended down on MT. SINAI in a mysterious but very tangible way. The children of Israel actually 'heard Adonai's voice' , and they were justly afraid for their lives. Adonai gave them the 10 COMMANDMENTS that day, and began the process of communicating to Moshe the rest of His law, or instructions ..... the TORAH, ... the first 5 books of Moses.
On Passover the Jewish people were redeemed from slavery; on SHAVU'OT their relationship with Adonai was consummated by a most solemn covenant.
The Jewish people emerged from Egypt as a Betrothed Bride; they left Sinai as a ' full fledged WIFE '.
They received the law of Adonai, the TORAH, a truly profound REVELATION from our Creator, which taught them how to be Righteous & Holy. It convicted them of sin, and warned them of judgement.
It revealed the good and perfect will of God, and even promised them redemption in case of exile.
The ' Giving of the Ruach / Holy Spirit, on the VERY ANNIVERSARY of the giving of the TORAH tells us there is an unbreakable connection between the first SHAVU'OT ( Feast of Weeks ) and the SHAVU'OT / ( PENTACOST ) Feast of Weeks when Yeshua's promise of the Giving of the Ruach HaKodesh cited in Acts 2 happened. B-U-T ! ....... each of these feast days MUST be SEEN in light of the other for the intended FULLNESS of what Yeshua has given us to be ' Realized ' ! ............ b.
