HB004 Shavuot 2023

“The Bread of Life is His commandments”

SYNOPSIS: What are the purpose of THE HOLY DAYS? Why does Yehovah want us to still keep them? In this Holy day message were looking at Shavout (Feast of weeks “Pentecost”). Why is this a Holy day that does not have a specific date associated with it? What is so important about counting? What is so important about bringing bread from each of our homes? What is the last day implication of this Holy day for the entire world?

THEME 1: COUNTING AND BREAD Lev 23:17  You must bring bread from your homes for waving — two loaves made with one gallon of fine flour, baked with leaven — as firstfruits for YEHOVAH. This is a simple yet extremely deeply eternal statement. How can bringing bread from each one of our homes be so significant to each person’s eternity? How could two loaves of bread that I am going to wave in the air be so intrical to the master plan of salvation?

THEME 2: THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE MEANS NOW Joh 6:48  I am the bread which is life. That has to do with this. Yochanan 14:24-26

THEME 3: WOW NOW I TRULY UNDERSTAND IT Act 1:3  After his death he showed himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. During a period of forty days they saw him, and he spoke with them about the Kingdom of God. Act 1:4  At one of these gatherings, he instructed them not to leave Yerushalayim but to "wait for what the Father promised, which you heard about from me.

So let us start our journey to the utmost knowledge about this incredible day called Shavuot
