Become Fine Flour

Leviticus 23:15-22

[15]  “You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. [16] You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord. [17] You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord. [18] And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. [19] And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. [20] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. [21] And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations. [22] And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.”

Pentecost is the fulfillment of Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks. The Feast of Weeks was during the Wheat Harvest. They were to not just bring a blood sacrifice from lambs and goats, but a bread offering. Two loaves of bread made from fine flour. It wasn’t just any old flour they used. The flour took more work to produce.

It had to be carefully ground and sifted. Wheat was, apparently, more prestigious. It wasn’t the common grain. Barley was. Pentecost fulfilled this by taking two groups of people: the Israelites and the Gentiles. These two groups of people were brought before the LORD as one body in Christ.

No longer did it matter whether of not you were a Jew, but it is now about your heart. That’s why it’s not just common grain. It’s grain that’s harder to grow and take care of. And that’s not enough. It has to be ground. Sifted. And made fine. It’s not enough to just say you follow Christ or you believe in God. You have to do more than that. You have to deny your flesh. You have to go through the fire. You have to be ground and sifted. Not just anyone can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Many are called, but few are chosen.

Pentecost is the day the Church was born by the power of the Holy Spirit and the Blood of Christ. It is the day two people’s were waved before the LORD as one. The day the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh and the grinding and sifting process of our soul could truly begin. That is Pentecost. It is hope. Hope of changing for the better. Hope of becoming one people in Christ. Hope of becoming a wave offering to the LORD.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Become Fine Flour.

Know How To Defend Pentecost

Acts 2:1-4 ESV

[1] When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. [2] And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. [3] And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

There are seven feasts given to the people of Israel, by the LORD Himself. The fourth feast is the Feast of Weeks, Shavuot. It was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came down like a mighty rushing wind. Today, however, the Jewish people believe the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot) is about the giving of the Law of Moses on Mt. Sinai.

So, let’s just say, for arguments sake that that’s true. Okay. It looks back at the giving of The Law and forward to the fulfillment of the giving of the Holy Spirit. The seal of our salvation or our new and better covenant.

When the LORD came down and gave the Ten Commandments, He first spoke it to the people of Israel. He came down as fire on the mountain (Exodus 19:18). When the Holy Spirit came down on those in the Upper Room, He came as fire tongues resting on their heads. As Daddy always points out, when Moses came down and saw the golden calf, three thousand Israelite men were slain that day (Exodus 32:28). On the day of Pentecost, Peter preached his first message, and three thousand souls were saved (Acts 2:41).

If the Jews want to believe it looks back to the giving of the Law of Moses, by all means. What better fitting foreshadowing of the giving of the Holy Spirit than that? For no matter what you say it looked back at, it can never change what fulfilled it. You can try to twist Scripture, but you can never change it. You can never rewrite it, for the Word of God will never return to Him void.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Know How To Defend Pentecost.

The Fulfillment of Shavuot

Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks, is one of three pilgrimage feasts that every able-bodied Israelite male had to travel to Jerusalem to take part in. The author of the book of Hebrews wrote that the Law was just a shadow of the good things to come, which would include the feasts. Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, was fulfilled 2000 years ago. How?

Two Loaves

God gave the people of Israel 7 feasts to celebrate. 3 of these feasts were a mandatory pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks), is one of them.

What Is Shavuot?

God gave the Israelites seven feasts to observe. Some of these feasts have already been fulfilled, such as Passover and the Feast of Weeks, but what about the other feasts? The Feast of Weeks isn’t observed today by the Jewish people; instead, they observe Shavuot. What is Shavuot? Why don’t they observe the Feast of Weeks?

What Is Shavuot?

The Feast of Weeks (Shavuot)

15 You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. 16 You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord. 17 You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord. 18 And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams.

They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21 And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.
