Type in a word or phrase to search:

Pentecost (Ancient Greek pe?t???st? [?µ??a], pentekoste [hemera], "the fiftieth day") is one of the prominent feasts in the Christian liturgical year, celebrated the 49th day (7 weeks) after Easter Sunday—or the 50th day, inclusively, whence its name is derived from the Greek. Pentecost falls on the tenth day after Ascension Thursday. Historically and symbolically related to the Jewish harvest festival of Shavuot, it commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus as described in the Book of Acts, Chapter 2. Pentecost is also called Whitsun, Whitsunday, or Whit Sunday, especially in the United Kingdom.

And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete/ Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbaths shall ye number fifty days (Hebrew hamishshim yom; Greek pe?t????ta ?µ??a?, pentekonta hemeras) and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

The "new dairy offering" consisted of two loaves made from the new wheat (to be waved). Sacrifices for the feast consisted of "seven lambs without blemish of the first year", one young bullock, two rams (this is the burnt offering), the sacrifice of "one kid of the goats for a sin offering", and "two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings". This hamishshim yom or pentekonta hemeras marked the end of the harvest. On the other hand, Deuteronomy (168-10) states

Six days thou shall not eat unleavened bread and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God thou shalt do no work therein./ Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee begin to number seven weeks from such time as thou beginest to put the sickle unto the corn./ And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks [Hebrew Chag shavuot; Greek ???t?? ?ßd?µ?d??, heorten hebdomadon] unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.

2. What Other Secrets Remain Hidden in the Tropical Island Jewel, Vanuatu?
August 04, 2008

The 83 tropical island archipelago of Vanuatu is the birth place of Extreme Sport. The tradition of the Pentecost land dive being born from the mists of time on these ancient shores. The original story for the classic musical and 1958 Rodgers and Hammerstein’s film South Pacific was forged by James A Michener in Vanuatu. The Television rehash of the original classic, in 2001, never found favor with the viewing public. In 2006 Vanuatu was again thrust into the spotlight when it was voted the Happiest Country on Earth. Recently the grave of the last Paramount Chief of Vanuatu, Ch... (read more)

3. Is Speaking in Tongues a gift from God?
August 12, 2006

Speaking in Tongues as we see it today in Christian churches is a relatively new phenomenon dating back to the early 1900’s. Why is this? And in fact is what we are seeing today the same gift that empowered Jesus’ disciples at Pentecost? The disciples were given the essential ability to speak in the languages of the surrounding nations, so that they could preach the gospel in the native tongue of all those they met. If what we see in churches today is the same gift, why was it absent from the church for over 1800 years? Throughout the Bible it is seen that God gave His people ... (read more)

4. The Oracles of God
January 29, 2006

Just what do you mean "the oracles of God?" And is the sacred calendar a part of them? There are only four places in the New Testament that speak of the oracles of God: Acts 7:38 reveals that Moses received "the lively oracles to give unto us."Rom. 3:2 states, without apology, that "the oracles of God" were COMMITTED TO THE JEWS. Heb. 5:12 speaks of "the first principles of the oracles of God" and 1 Pet. 4:11 states that those whom God has gifted to speak should "speak as the oracles of God." All of these examples use the Greek word logion (Strong's Concordance #3051) that means an... (read more)
