Bible Question:
Who knows what Old Testament Event the Day of Pentecost relates back to? What is the significance of this Old Testament Event and why is it central to our current day Christian Faith? |
Bible Answer: Pentecost (from the word pentekostos, meaning 50th) took place 50 days after Passover (Lev 23:15-21) and was the Jewish feast of the first fruits of the wheat harvest (Num 28:26). Jewish tradition teaches that Moses received the Law on the day Pentecost. So on the same day Israel received the Law in the OT, the Church received God’s grace in all it’s fullness in the NT, and thus the church was born! retxar |
