Every year, we celebrate Pentecost, but do we truly know what it is? Where did Pentecost come from, and what are its origins? Why do we celebrate Pentecost, and is it an important day? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he searches through Scripture for the origin of Pentecost in his video, What Is Pentecost?
What Is Pentecost?
Pentecost In The Bible
16 Three times a year all your males shall appear before the LORD your God at the place that He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths.
Deuteronomy 16:16
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.
Leviticus 23:15-16
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.
Acts 2:1-4
