Pentecost 3 |
Here is how to figure the dates that Moses was in the Mount. First, we know he was in the Mount forty days and forty nights. (Ex. 24:18) Now, Ex. 19:1-3 tells us that when he reached the Mount it was in the third moon and on the same day that they were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, which was on the Night or beginning of the 16th, according to Num. 33:3. They departed (pulled up stakes) from Remises in the first moon; on the fifteenth day of the first moon;(Passover) (and) on the morrow after the Passover the children of Israel went out (16th). It is not saying the 15th is the next day after Passover because Passover is still going on, on the 15th. Now we know the Passover lamb was prepared (Preparation) on the 14th but, was not over on the 15th because it says it was to be eaten with unleavened, which began on the 15th (or 14th at even (night).) Ex. 12:8-18. Now if the Passover was still going on until the Passover lamb is gone on the 15th, the morrow after Passover would be the 16th. They were not traveling on the 15th Sabbath; they were delivered from Egypt’s bondage on the 15th (Sabbath). (Deut. 5:15) Moreover, they spoiled the Egyptians on the 15th, but actually journeyed on the beginning of the 16th. (Num.33:3) Exodus 19:3 states that Moses went up to YHWH on the day they arrived (16th). Notice verse two. For they were departed from Rephidim, which means rest, and is only a few miles from the Mount. They rested on the 15th (Sabbath) in Rephidim, and after rest day was over, they came to the Mt. on the 16th. This is the same day that they actually went forth on their journey out of Egypt. Then YHWH told Moses to sanctify the people today, and tomorrow, and be ready against the third day (18th). (Ex. 19:3) However, it was the next day (19th) that Moses went into the Mount for forty days, (Ex. 24:4-18) and at the end of the forty days and forty nights the Law was given to Moses and it was the same day that Aaron said was the Feast of YHWH which was fifty days after the 7th Sabbath. |

Another positive proof that Pentecost is in the fourth moon is that you must have a wheat harvest. It must be after the years end (solstice or turning of the Sun.) (Ex. 34:22) This happens on June 22nd and to have a Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) on June 6th, 8th, etc. before the years turning is not in harmony with Ex. 34:22.
