Do you understand Pentecost? In Hebrew “Festival of Shaḇu’ot” In Greek “Pentecost” In English “Feast of Weeks" Surprise, this is Torah, the Instructions of our Heavenly Father.
● Etymology. The term Pentecost comes from the Greek Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē) meaning "fiftieth". It refers to the festival celebrated on the fiftieth day after Feast of FIRSTFRUITS, also known as the "Feast of Weeks"

Ma`asei (Acts) 2:1-4 (TS2009) And when the Day of the Festival of Shaḇu‛ot had come, they were all with one mind in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
MA'ASIYM - The Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4 (א ת Cepher) AND when the day of Shavu'oth was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the houses where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongue like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were filled with the RUACH HA'QODESH and began to speak with other tongues, as the RUACH gave them utterance
Acts 2:1-4 (TLV) When the day of Shavuot had come, they were all together in one place. Suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

They were all filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh and began to speak in other tongues as the Ruach enabled them to speak out.
Acts 2:1-4 (NKJV) When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Shemoth (Exodus) 23:14-17 TS2009 “Three times in the year you are to celebrate a festival to Me: Guard the Festival of Matzot. Seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the new moon of Aḇiḇ – for in it you came out of Mitsrayim – and do not appear before Me empty-handed; and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field. “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master Yah (יהוה).
Thanks brother
It means 50th.... wow. Thank you. Any time one learns the truth it is joyfully uplifting. Thank you 🙂
Nicely stated. Tyvm
Hmmmm, exactly who and how was this hidden? You proved it has never been hidden when you posted all of the verses. Perhaps the truth is people hid themselves from truth. Take responsibility and stop blaming others. It makes perfect sense why so many universities spend so much time in trying to teach students autonomous thinking, though I have never seen it work. The fact that people need to be taught it astounds me! Not one of us will ever get anywhere with regard to following Messiah if we have never stopped blaming others, for anything, ever... If Y'shua were like men He would have hung on the cross yelling at the Father to destroy Satan for what he had made those men do to Him, and destroy the men too. That seems to be the image we were made in... uh, wait... is it?
I am really enjoying reading your well written articles. It looks like you spend a lot of effort and time on your blog. I have bookmarked it and I am looking forward to reading new articles. Keep up the good work. Virilitrex
I think we do what we do, and conversely don't do what we don't, because that's how we were brought up as children. Think back to your childhood and the fond memories of family get-togethers at the holidays. What really made those times special was family. What pounds it into our brains as "right" is that we've always done things this way over the past several generations. It's human nature to stick to what is familiar and that's what makes stopping holiday traditions and starting the feasts so very hard for a lot of people. I will admit I am definitely not doing much of it correctly yet. I want to. I still have a lot to learn, and add to that my husband is not with me in learning to follow Torah (yet - please pray for him). I am going to print off all this information on the feasts for reference. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or what (just turned 50 this year), but I just can't remember it all!
So it is..one generation brainwashed and rest generatios follow. Have you ever wondered what went wrong in your case (that you do not subit to lies)
