Chris, Is not the receiving of the Holy Spirit as important as the birth of the Lord and the Day of Resurrection? So many times the Churches I have been in don't even mention it. We know when it is for in Lev. 23:15-16 it tells us to count 50 days from the Passover Sabbath which was the day of His sacrifice. This is why they were all together and why there were so many in the City speaking different tongues, it was the Ingathering that God appointed. The Feast of the Harvest was not a solemn time but a great time of rejoicing and God told them to relax and enjoy this Feast. Have you never wondered why things happened when they did? Do you think that 3,000 people died when Moses brought the Law down and the same number of people being saved at that same time is mentioned thousands of years later is just a coincidence? I believe this was the seal of the completion of the Mosaic covenant that Messiah had made full and complete and a mark of the beginning of the Harvest of the Church. He lived the Law for us to understand it and gave Himself to free us from punishment for failure to keep it and to make Himself the judge of all men. Through a careful study of the OT I see that God was just as loving kind and Mercifull then as He is now and we need to be reverent and respectful now as much as then. I mean that like we are with a strong Father that is careful to discipline us for in Hebrews it states that He does discipline us. Nancy
