Types In Pentecost.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Since the bible deals with types and shadows what types do you see in the feast or day of Pentecost?
I'll start since Pentecost means first-fruits as well as fifiteth or weeks.Since Christ came out of the ground,we reap a harvest due to His resurrection.
Since Pentecost comes 50 days after Passover,the Holy Spirit is reaped by a harvest of blessings.
OK your turn.

The bread at passover was unleavened bread.

The bread at feast of weeks(pentecost) was baked with leaven-LEV 23:17.

I don't know what the significance of that is, what do you think Bro. Scott?

Could the bread at passover be a type of the sinless Lamb of God being a sin-offering for our sin at calvary?
Could the bread at the feast of weeks be a type of The Holy Ghost empowerment that gives us the ability to overcome the practice of sin?

I found this on a google search just now, pretty interesting:
The Feast of Weeks is a symbolic festival which pointed to the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the Church. The Son of God arose from the grave on Firstfruits. He then spent forty days with His disciples in post-resurrection ministry (Acts 1:3).

Immediately after forty days, Jesus informed them that it was necessary that He leave them and ascend to His Father in Heaven (in order to apply the benefits of His once and for all sacrifice). However, He told His disciples that they would not be left abandoned and comfortless. He would then send them His Holy Spirit who would come alongside to help in His absence (John 14:16-17).

The disciples were commanded to tarry at Jerusalem until He came (Acts 1:4), and they knew exactly how long they would have to wait. The coming of the Holy Spirit would occur on the next Jewish holiday - a festive time when Jews from different countries were to be in Jerusalem to celebrate the completion of the harvest season. This annual feast was none other than Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks. The disciples waited as they were commanded; however, their wait was not long - only ten days. And then it happened. The Spirit of God descended on those first-century believers.

The two loaves which were brought to the Temple represented both Jew and Gentile; however they became one in Christ with the advent of the Spirit's coming. Writing to the Ephesian believers, Paul said" "For he is our peace, who hath made both (Jew and Gentile) one, and have broken down the middle wall of partition between us ... to make in himself of two (Jew and Gentile) one new man, so making peace" (Ephesians 2:14-15).

There was to be leaven in those two loaves, for the Church had not yet been glorified. During this age, there is still sin within the Church. Messiah Yeshua (the head) is unleavened. On the other hand, the Church (the body) still has leaven within her. Therefore, leaven was to be included in those two loaves.

I may be incorrect here but I think on a Jewish calendar,the Feast of passover is on a 14th and the feast of First fruits is on the 21st if so then you have seven days which seven is God's perfect number.
