I was taught that all the Hebrew Festivals were nailed to the cross, so why would I need to know how to count to Pentecost?
Answer: Things are not always as they appear. Mankind is now living at the pivotal “appointed time” of prophetic fulfillment, and it is not business as usual. Yahuwah’s faithful must not leave even one doctrinal stone unturned as we prepare our hearts and minds for the additional light of truth, as it will fall like rain from heaven.
Also, it must not be assumed that those who have gone before had all the truths nailed down correctly. By clinging to doctrines that have not been accurately supported by Scripture, is like the proverbial child trying to force the square block in the round hole, and getting no where. Yahuwah’s faithful have not been left without stunning council in this regards.
