At Mt Sinai on Pentecost Israel was given the Law of Moses The law was give to Moses written with the finger of God on tablets of stone. The finger of God is the Holy Spirit. Luk 11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

FEAST OF PENTECOST In the New covenant Pentecost God’s commands are not written on Stone Tablets but on our born again Fleshly Tablets of our Hearts Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

FEAST OF PENTECOST Pentecost was also Israel’s betrothal unto God! Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith the LORD: God Israel Pentecost
FEAST OF PENTECOST Hos 2:14 Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her. Hos 2:15 There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt. Hos 2:16 In that day, declares the LORD, "you will call me 'my husband'; you will no longer call me 'my master.

FEAST OF PENTECOST In A Jewish Betrothal a Ketubah was written and you were married but the marriage was not consummated

Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Mat 1:19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
FEAST OF PENTECOST The New Testament is God’s Marriage Ketubah with the Church
FEAST OF PENTECOST Which will be consummated at the Lord’s coming Rev 19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. Rev 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.
FEAST OF PENTECOST This is why unfaithful believers are called Adulterers and adulteresses Jas 4:4 You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. I love you You’re the only one! No one will know! Pastor Joe said “Your sin will find you out”
FEAST OF PENTECOST Jas 4:5 Or do you suppose that the Scripture is speaking to no purpose that says, The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love? [Jer. 3:14; Hos. 2:19ff.] Jas 4:6 But He gives us more and more grace (power of the Holy Spirit, to meet this evil tendency and all others fully). That is why He says, God sets Himself against the proud and haughty, but gives grace [continually] to the lowly (those who are humble enough to receive it)
FEAST OF PENTECOST The New Testament Sign of Pentecost was and is tongues Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it satupon each of them. Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Many Believers stop at the feast of first fruits and never enter into Pentecost That’s so strange! I don’t understand tongues I don’t need tongues Speaking in tongues is the Gateway into the Supernatural for the Believer
FEAST OF PENTECOST This Blessing is for Believers Today Act 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Act 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
