Acts 2:1
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place."
Today we look into the comparison of The Old Testament Pentecost, and The New Testament Pentecost. From here we will use the abbreviation OT Pentecost, and NT Pentecost. The OT Pentecost occurred fifty days after Israel left Egypt. It is believed that the Passover lamb was slain on April 14, 1491 BC and Israel left Egypt the next night. "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said," (Ex. 12:1, 2, 6, 12, 31). Exactly fifty days later they arrived at Mt. Sinai during the first week of June. "In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai," (Ex. 19:1).
The NT Pentecost occurred fifty days after Christ rose from the dead. Our Lord was of course, crucified during the Passover week in April. "And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!" (John 19:14). Christ then spent forty days with His disciples after the resurrection., "To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:, (Acts 1:3). So then, ten days later the NT Pentecost occurred, "For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place," (Acts 1:5; 2:1).
The OT Testament Pentecost celebrated a birthday, which was that of Israel, "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:" (Ex. 19:5).
The NT Testament Pentecost celebrated a birthday, which was that of the Church, "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved," (Acts, 2:41-47).
The OT Testament Pentecost witnessed the slaying of some 3,000 souls, "And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." (Ex. 32:28). The NT Testament Pentecost witnessed the saving of some 3,000 souls, "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls," (Acts 2:41).
Amen!
