Episode 57: Pentecost

The day of Pentecost is fifty days from the beginning of Passover. It is also called the Feast of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) because it occurs seven weeks from the second day of Passover. On this day, the children of Israel celebrate the first fruits of the grain harvest, and they remember God giving the Torah to his people.
When God gave the Torah, he brought fire from heaven to cover the mountain, and the mountain trembled at his voice. Following Jesus's ascension, on Pentecost, he brought fire from heaven and spoke to his children again through his apostles.
On Sinai, Yahweh said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been created in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord, for it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.”
Fire on the mountain, fire before the people, and fire over the tabernacle meant the presence of God is in that place. Fire on the apostles was Yahweh on display in his people.
God with us became God in us.
