1 Shavuot 2016 Pastor Greg Stone June 3, 2016 Leviticus 23:4 (NKJV) These are the feasts of the L-RD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the L-RD s Passover. Leviticus 23:11 (NKJV) He shall wave the sheaf before the L-RD, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. Exodus 23:16-17 (NKJV) 16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Leviticus 23:15-16 (NKJV) 15 And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the L-RD. This is the 41 st day, making six weeks and six days of the Omer. Ezekiel 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the L-RD! Ezekiel 37: 7-9 (NKJV) 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, Prophesy to the breath I. Shavuot, Chapter One.

2 2 Passover starts eve of Nisan 14. (1 st month has 30 days) Iyar (2 nd month) 29 days = 44 days Sivan (3 rd month) Shavuot is Sivan 6 Day 45 Exodus 19:1 (NKJV) In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. [Sivan 1] Day 46 Exodus 19:3 (NKJV) And Moses went up to G-d, and the L-RD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel. Day 47 Exodus 19:7-8 (NKJV) 7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the L-RD commanded him. 8 Then all the people answered together and said, All that the L-RD has spoken we will do. So Moses brought back the words of the people to the L-RD. Day Exodus 19:9-11 (NKJV) 9 And the L-RD said to Moses, Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever. So Moses told the words of the people to the L-RD. 10 Then the L-RD said to Moses, Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the L-RD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. Exodus 19:16 (NKJV) Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. Exodus 19:18-19 (NKJV) 18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the L-RD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the

3 3 smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and G-d answered him by voice. I am the L-RD your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other G-ds before Me. (Exodus 20:2-3, KJV) You shall not make for yourself a carved image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the L-RD your G-d, am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6, NKJV) You shall not take the name of the L-RD your G-d in vain, for the L-RD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. (Exodus 20:7, NKJV) Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Exodus 20:8, NKJV) Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the L-RD your G-d is giving you. (Exodus 20:12, NKJV) You shall not murder. (Exodus 20:13, NKJV) You shall not commit adultery. (Exodus 20:14, NKJV) You shall not steal. (Exodus 20:15, NKJV) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (Exodus 20:16, NKJV)

4 4 You shall not covet your neighbor s house; you shall not covet your neighbor s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor s. (Exodus 20:17, NKJV) Exodus 20:18 (NKJV) All the people witnessed the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they trembled and stood afar off. Exodus 32:1 (NKJV) When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, Come, make us G-ds that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. II. Shavuot, Chapter 2. 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NKJV) But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Acts 1:4 (NKJV) He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 2:1 (NKJV) When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Acts 2:2-4 (NKJV) 2 Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 5 Jeremiah 31:31-33 (NKJV) 31 Behold, the days are coming, says the L-RD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the L-RD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the L-RD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their G-d, and they shall be My people.
