This week we will be celebrating the Biblical Holy Day of Shavuot. Shavuot is a harvest feast and one of the three pilgrimage feasts of Israel. During the Temple times it was a great celebration where hundreds of thousands of people would travel to Jerusalem to participate in a time of worship which we in modern times really have nothing that we can compare it to. They would gather at the Temple make their offerings and celebrate G-D's wondrous provisions. For those who are reading this that do not yet believe that Yeshua is the Messiah of Israel, I hope and pray that you will spend time beginning this Thursday evening to thank G-D for the blessing of His Torah. Shavuot has been the day in which the Nation of Israel celebrated their receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai. For those who are believers in Yeshua as the Messiah of Israel I also hope you will celebrate the giving of G-D's Torah, but that you won't stop with celebrating only one event that happened on Shavuot. I hope that you will also remember the pouring out of the Ruach (Spirit) on Shavuot in Jerusalem. This out pouring which was described in the writings of the Prophet Joel in Chapter 2 of his writings to G-D's children. Please take some extra time this week to study the promises given in the Torah to Israel and the blessings to which we are already the inheritors.
