Download: Pentecost (Shavuot) – Israel’s History of Marriage to God
Pentecost, also known as Shavuot, has two noteworthy happenings in the history of the world. The first is when Israel became God’s treasured people through a covenant described as a marriage. This took place under Moses approximately 3500 years ago but it sadly ended in a tragic divorce due to her ongoing adultery. The second great Pentecost was when God, through Yeshua, offered a new covenant and a remarriage to Israel. He also poured out His Spirit enabling her to represent Him and His glorious Kingdom here on earth as it is in Heaven. Today, we memorialize Pentecost! As believers in Yeshua, we participate with Jewish believers as Israel, the treasured people of God. In addition, we represent His Kingdom and His way of life as revealed in the Ten Commandments. As we celebrate Pentecost, may we realize who we are and what we are called to do. Happy Shavuot and Happy Pentecost!
