I believe it is very important for me to write about Pentecost. That is the reason for this writing; but I will need to give a little background first.
----------
Knowing how busy my readers (if there are any) are and how impatient modern Christians have become with a world they hate in their hearts, unwilling to give another the time of day or say, "Excuse me," as the rush by, bumping into some filthy stranger, I have removed my back story and placed it in a separate (unadvertised) blog file. If you really want to know this story, then click here. That leads one to the article entitled Robert's back story.

It was then from this transition from the divine texts of Nostradamus – a prophet who wrote in the same inspired way as did the prophets of the Old Testament – to writing in-depth explanations of the lectionary readings scheduled by the Episcopal Church. In this process, I came to realize that the word “Pentecost” is Greek, meaning (and only meaning) “Fiftieth day.”
It is from Acts 2 that we read of the Apostles (who had prior been disciples) “kai they [the Apostles] were filled with all Spirit Sacred , kai they began to speak to others to languages according to the manner in which this Spirit they were given to utter forth to their souls .” (Acts 2:4, BibleHub Interlinear) Of course, the English translation of that verse, publicly read aloud says, “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different [a]tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.” (NASB) The footnote (“[a]”) states the word translated as “tongues” equally translates as “languages.”
It is the fact that the Apostles began to speak “with different tongues” on a day recognized as “the Fiftieth.” It is ignorance (the state of ignoring) that is blind to the implication that once an Apostle (and no longer a disciple … graduation day came and there was no returning to the classes taught by ‘rabbi Jesus’) was led to speak “with different languages,” this still cannot be seen as less a matter of making noises with one’s mouth and more a matter of being able to understand divine syntax. When the Spirit fills one’s “babe” brain with this ability, making one become Sacred (a.k.a. a Saint), then the word “Pentecost” is the wedding day that marries Yahweh to a soul, via His Spirit, making the soul of His Son Jesus be resurrected within the flesh of that soul – side by side [“Ephraim is my firstborn”] and leading that host soul as its Lord and Savior. To then think the Apostles made loud grunting noises, which nobody at all would be able to understand, could not possibly be why we read “kai were added in this day to that one , souls as it were three thousand .” (Acts 2:47b)
Now, when one stops pretending the Greek word “Pentecost” means anything other than “Fiftieth day,” it become imperative that a leader of a congregation explain why “Fifty days” is not less or more than that. The reality says the Jews were commanded by Yahweh, through Moses, to recognize their freedom from bondage in Egypt. The “Fiftieth day” is then the day that Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the Covenant that married all the souls in flesh that awaited the return of Moses. On “the Fiftieth day” then there were (I imagine) many more than “souls as it were three thousand” who became “added in to that one” … “that one” is the family of Yahweh, as His Son, known as Adam; but the name Jesus also applied then too (“Jesus” means “YAH Saves”). It has the same meaning as Joshua, who was one of those who agreed to Yahweh's Covenant when Moses returned.
Simply by realizing the truth of that number, as it is the number Moses told those newlyweds of Yahweh’s Spirit, made Sacred as His Son resurrected, to remember always. The “Fifty days” begins with the Passover, the escape into the wilderness, until ten days took them to the base of Mount Sinai. That is when Moses spent forty days at the top with Yahweh. This is the truth of the Jewish recognition of the Passover festival, which begins a count – the Counting of the Omer (the measures of fruits, grains, and cheeses placed in the Temple until properly aged) – which leads to the festival known as Shavuot, Hebrew meaning “Weeks.” The beginning of counting the days of the weeks is when the unripe fruits are placed in the Temple (the Festival of the First Fruits, a.k.a. Bikkurim), which are then blessed and consumed on the “Fiftieth day” – the Festival of “Weeks,” or “Shavuot.” This name makes “Pentecost” be the Greek numerical replacement for “Shavuot.” Shavuot is then when the unripe (the disciples) have matured and are ready to feed the people spiritual nourishment (the Apostles).
Of course, modern Christianity has turned hatred of the Jews (a poorly kept secret) into the bastardization of what Yahweh commanded His people to do. “His people” are not Jews, they are “Israelites.” The definition of an “Israelite” is “One Who Retains Yahweh as one of His elohim.” His elohim means those souls (a spirit is one of the elohim) in which the soul of Adam (or Jesus) becomes Lord; so, to become a Saint (one reborn as Jesus in the flesh), one has to be more than a member of some religious ‘club.’ One’s soul must be surrendered into holy matrimony with Yahweh, receiving His Spirit (made a Christ), so one can then reproduce His Son. Father plus spiritual wife leads to Son of man again on earth. Once one has become “in the name of Jesus” (as a new Christ) – “Sacred,” as a Saint – then one’s new name (like Jacob’s spiritual name became) is “Israel.”
Disciples are those souls in flesh that hear the divine proposal from Yahweh. However, it is Apostles that actually kneel at the alter of divine marriage and surrender all worldly addictions, in order to faithfully serve Yahweh forevermore. More disciples get cold feet than those whose hearts are opened and willingly become sacrificial lambs in holy matrimony.
Jacob did not create a religion. He taught all his children’s children to become teachers of the truth of Mosaic Law, so the whole kit and kaboodle of his descendants would be reborn as Yahweh’s people, all resurrections of Adam-Jesus, all Messiahs or Christs (words that mean “Anointed” – by Yahweh’s Spirit), so all would then be reborn in the name of Yahweh’s Son. The Christian church (perhaps the Orthodox keep the true schedule of ‘Easter’) takes a commandment of Yahweh (through Moses) and recreates its own false, self-serving schedule … all while teaching no one the truth of Mosaic Law. Thus, unlike the children of Jacob who were Spiritually raised to be Israelites, Christians are raised to sit on wooden pews (in the same spot, Sunday after Sunday), never transforming Spiritually to serve anyone other than their own selfish selves. Rather than be taught to be sacrificial lambs, they are raised to become ‘veal cutlets’ for the few who seek power and control over the brains of human flesh.
Now, the Hebrew word “Shauvot” translating as “Weeks” has been copied and modified by the Christians that believe they need to be different than Jews, in order to stay in business (selling religion). As such, the universal Christian denominations that track such things, present the “Easter season” as seven “weeks” long. This (again) is a mockery of what Yahweh told His people to do, as commanded by Moses.
When Moses told them to forever count the days from their release from slavery to a human world, until the day the marriage vows became their total release of flesh-worship (self-ego), into a Spiritual soul reborn as the Son of man, it would always take fifty days. That count includes every day of the “week,” with no exceptions. Christian denominations, however, have a hard time counting Sundays (it seems), because a forty-day Lenten season ends up being around forty-seven days, including about seven Sundays. Likewise, the seven-“week” Easter season ends up being eight “weeks,” with the subtraction of seven Sundays making a snug fifty days … the Christian way.
Please, raise your hand if you ever had some leader of a church explain the ‘holy mystery’ that changes Mosaic Law and counting fifty days, so it can equate to fifty-seven or fifty-eight days. Has anyone ever fully explained that the Easter season is a mirror image of the children of Israel becoming the priestly people who would teach the world about Yahweh and Salvation? Can anyone teach how it is possible for the seventh Sunday of Easter (being when forty-nine days have been counted: 7 X 7 = 49) can be more or less than that? Has any leader ever explained why the church says to wait another “week” before recognizing “the Fiftieth day” (“Pentecost,” as the festival of Shavuot), where one Sunday is day forty-nine and the next Sunday is the "Fiftieth day"?
Is not forty-nine plus seven fifty-six, not fifty? Could such poor addition be at least a partial explanation why so many Christians have no grasp that the Greek word “Pentecost” ONLY means “Fiftieth day”?
Could that mislead them into thinking “Pentecost” is when people suddenly start making vocal noises that nobody can understand, because they are filled with the emotion (not Spirit of Yahweh) that wants to make them test God by doing such idiotic things as dancing with poisonous snakes (and such)?
Can pretense and wishing very hard (even clicking one’s heels together three times) ever be a substitution for the true Sacredness of receiving Yahweh’s Spirit in divine spiritual marriage, when a soul in its flesh becomes like a newborn “babe,” washed clean of all past sins and made able to preach the truth, so other souls can be saved?
What seems to be missed in this misunderstanding of Yahweh-commanded festivals of recognition is the Ascension of Jesus occurring on the forty-ninth day. In that particular Pesach-to-Shavuot fifty-day span, the first Passover feast (the Seder meal) was on a Sabbath. The soul of Jesus rose from his dead body in the ‘loaner’ tomb of Joseph of Arimathea on a Sabbath, which was one “week” in the Counting of the Omer. Jesus spent forty days with his Apostles, just as Moses spent forty days atop Mount Sinai, preparing the wedding vows that would make the children of Jacob true Israelites. Those forty days included six Sabbaths. Jesus’ soul Ascended into the souls of his Apostles on the forty-ninth day, which was the sixth of those Sabbaths.
This then projects that Jesus’ absence from his disciples, as the sacrificial lamb he promised he was, took place on a Sunday. Then, Jesus was discovered risen by his disciples, when Jesus' soul entered within each on Sunday, the first day of the week. So, after the soul of Jesus was permanently joined with the souls of his Apostles – in the spirituality of the ‘heavens’ that are souls – “like a sudden rush of wind” the Apostles (the twelve and the women and relatives who followed Jesus by becoming his soul resurrected within them) then stood and “began to speak in this language of another,” who was Jesus.
This means “speaking in tongues” is a statement about a servant of Yahweh being reborn as His Son (souls have no sex organs to define them in human terms). So, Yahweh speaks through His Son, who has then become the Lord over a disciple that has elevated to Apostleship (a Saint). Peter did not shout out loudly with a physically "raised voice," he spoke the Word of Yahweh, as Jesus reborn, "raised" because of that inner "voice" having become one with his soul-flesh. This happens always when a soul has escaped the bondage of its flesh, in a world of influences to sin; and, when a soul has spent forty days waiting for the soul of Jesus to permanently resurrect within one’s soul-body. Sunday reflects the “Fiftieth day,” when Moses returns with the covenant of divine marriage and Jesus is reborn into “babes” that have been purified of past sins (made Christs or Messiahs, through baptism from Yahweh’s Spirit) and given the new name “Jesus,” meaning “YAH Saves.”
The Sabbath is Yahweh's commanded day of rest, when one lies down with His Spirit filling one's soul. Sunday is then the first light of day that sends a newborn Apostle into the world as Jesus reborn - a Saint in his name. Sunday is "in the beginning when Yahweh created His elohim who would save the world from its bondage. Sunday is the first day of the week when ministry makes one a priest, in the name of Adam (Jesus).
What is totally missed is how Jesus not only Ascended into the souls of his followers on the forty-ninth day – a Sabbath – as he was also born on the forty-ninth day of the Counting of the Omer, when Mary’s water broke suddenly in Bethlehem. She had to give birth in a stable because pilgrims took up all the other available spaces. The next day was Sunday, when the pilgrims packed up and left Jerusalem for home. Sunday was then when the newborn Jesus entered his own 'church,' and where he would be ordained a high priest by Magi, sent by Yahweh for that purpose of official anointment. There had been room made at the inns after the “Fiftieth day” feast (a morning ritual) was concluded. This says the Son of Yahweh is made on a Sabbath, born into the world of flesh and evil on a Sabbath, turned over as the Sacrificial Lamb on a Sabbath, and resurrected within the true faithful on a Sabbath.
Yahweh would have this no other way for His Son!
Try and find some Christian leader who will teach his or her congregation to leave a false church (a profiteering enterprise using religion wrongly) and enter ministry led by the Spirit, as Jesus resurrected in flesh. I double-dog dare you to find one, because finding a Saint means finding Jesus reborn to learn from. Christianity is not a club to join and pay dues as membership fees. Christianity is a way of life, where ALL members of that true gathering of souls means they have gathered in the name of Jesus. He will always be there within their souls, as their Lord. ALL will have been cleansed by the Spirit of Yahweh, meaning ALL will have been made Christs.
The soul of Jesus can only resurrect in such a “babe” state of innocence.
