468<p>The Feast of Harvest, Feast of Weeks, Feast of  Firstfruits, and Feast of Pentecost all describe the same &#8220;appointed  time&#8221;.</p>
469<p>&nbsp; </p>
470<p>For the past 2000 years, the Catholic Church still recognizes Pentecost as the birth of the church.   However, the yearly celebration is based on the date of Easter and not the biblical or Hebrew calendar.  Therefore, there are times when the Catholic Pentecost celebration does not align with the proper timing of God&#8217;s calendar or the timing of God&#8217;s intended feast day.   Pentecost or Shavout is the only feast of God which many Christians celebrate on a yearly basis.</p>
471<p>&nbsp; </p>
472<p>Strangely enough, most Protestant churches  which often celebrate &#8220;speaking in tongues&#8221; or carry the namesake  &#8220;Pentecostal&#8221; do not know the day nor celebrate the birth of the  Church.</p>
473<p>&nbsp; </p>
474<p>So, what is the Feast of Pentecost and why  should it be important to us today?</p>
475<h2><a name="_Toc154139417">3.1 Feast of Weeks</a></h2>
476<p>All of the feasts of God are determined by a  specific day of the month.&nbsp; One can look at the moon and know feast  is near.&nbsp; This can not be accomplished with the Feast of Pentecost.&nbsp;  This feast must be counted 50 days, starting with the Feast of  Firstfruits which is the start.&nbsp; Once counted, you will always end  up on the 1<sup>st</sup> day of the week.</p>
477<p>&nbsp;</p>
478<p>The word Pentecost (<span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'"><img decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image067.gif" width="17" border="0"><img decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image068.gif" width="13" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image069.gif" width="14" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image070.gif" width="16" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image071.gif" width="15" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image072.gif" width="13" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image073.gif" width="14" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image074.gif" width="16" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image070.gif" width="16" border="0"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="28" src=" ../images/content/image071.gif" width="15" border="0">) </span>is Greek and means &#8220;the fiftieth day&#8221;.</p>
479<p class="Quote"><sup>Leviticus 23:15</sup><span> &quot;  &#8216;From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of  the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. </span> <sup>16</sup><span> <b>Count off fifty days</b> up to the day after the seventh Sabbath,  and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.</span></p>
480<p>Fifty represents: liberty, freedom, and jubilee  and is seen in other areas of the bible.&nbsp; Other than the common  numerical relationship, is there a connection to the Year of Jubilee  and Pentecost?</p>
481<p class="Quote"><sup>Leviticus 25:8</sup><span>  &quot; &#8216;Count off seven sabbaths of years&#8212;seven times seven years&#8212;so that  the seven sabbaths of years amount to a period of forty-nine years. </span><sup>9</sup><span>  Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the  seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout  your land. </span><sup>10</sup><span> <b>Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty</b> throughout  the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each  one of you is to return to his family property and each to his own  clan. </span><sup>11</sup><span>  The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not  reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. </span><sup>12</sup><span>  For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is  taken directly from the fields. </span><sup>13</sup><span>  &quot; &#8216;In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to his own  property. </span></p>
482<p>Through the salvation of Christ, the symbol of  Pentecost, are we &#8220;liberated&#8221; from Satan&#8217;s oppression and bondage to  sin?</p>
483<p>The calendar below illustrates the method to  determine the feast of Pentecost.</p>

760<h2><a name="_Toc154139418">3.2 Counting the Omer</a></h2>
761<p>In Hebrew tradition, this time period from the  Feast of Firstfruits (Spring Harvest) is counted Pentecost (Summer  Harvest).&nbsp; This is called &#8220;counting the omer&#8221;.</p>
762<p>&nbsp;</p>
763<p>Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia which  describes the 50 days [<span style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_of_The_Omer">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_of_The_Omer</a>]:</span></p>
764<p class="Quote">&#8220;
764As  soon as it is definitely night (approximately 30 minutes after  sundown), the one who is counting the Omer recites this blessing:</p>
765<p class="Quote"> <i>&quot;Baruch  atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam asher kidishanu b&#8217;mitzvotav  v&#8217;tzivanu al Sefirat Ha&#8217;omer&quot; </i></p>
766<p class="Quote"> (&quot;Blessed are  You, Lord our God, King of the Universe, Who has sanctified us with  His commandments and commanded us to count the Omer.&quot;) Then he or she  states the Omer-count in terms of both total days and weeks and  days. For example, on the 23rd day the count would be stated thus:  &quot;Today is twenty-three days, which is three weeks and two days of the Omer.&quot; The count is said in Hebrew.</p>
767<p class="Quote"> According to the Halakha, a person may only recite the blessing while it is still night. If he  or she remembers the count the next morning or afternoon, the count may still be made, but without a blessing. If one forgets to count a  day altogether, he or she may continue to count succeeding days, but  without a blessing.</p>
768<p class="Quote"> &quot;Omer-counters&quot; are typically offered for sale during this time, and  are displayed in synagogues for the benefit of worshippers who count the Omer with the  congregation at the conclusion of evening services. Omer-counters  range from decorative boxes with an interior scroll that shows each  day&#8217;s count through a small opening; to posters and magnets in which  each day&#8217;s count is recorded on a tear-off piece of paper; to  calendars depicting all seven weeks and 49 days of the Omer (a small  pointer is advanced from day to day); to pegboards that keep track  of both the day and the week of the Omer. Reminders to count the  Omer are also produced for hand-held computers and via SMS services for cell phones.&#8221;</p>

The 1<sup>st</sup>  occurrence represented the <b>spring harvest</b>, the resurrection  of Christ and the &#8220;firstfruits&#8221; to receive the Holy Spirit.</p>
771<p class="Quote"><sup>Leviticus 23:11</sup><span>  He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD <b>so it will be accepted on  your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.</b> </span><sup>12</sup><span> On the day you wave  the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb  a year old without defect, </span><sup>13</sup><span>  together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil&#8212;an offering made to the LORD by fire, a  pleasing aroma&#8212;and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine. </span><sup>14</sup><span> You must  not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, <b>until the very day  you bring this offering to your God.</b></span></p>

773<p class="Quote"><sup>John 20:16</sup><span>Jesus  said to her, &quot;Mary.&quot; She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,  &quot;Rabboni!&quot; (which means Teacher). </span><sup>17</sup><span>Jesus  said, &quot;<b>Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the  Father</b>. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, &#8216;I am returning  to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.&#8217; &quot; </span> <sup></p>
774<p> Romans 8:29</sup><span>  For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the  image of His Son, that <b>He might be the firstborn among many brethren</b>.</span></p>
775<p>And here are the firstfruits of the church:</p>
776<p class="Quote"><sup>John 20:19</span></sup><span>On  the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were  together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and  stood among them and said, &quot;Peace be with you!&quot; </span><sup> <span>20</span></sup><span>After  he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were  overjoyed when they saw the Lord. </span><sup> <span>21</span></sup><span>Again  Jesus said, &quot;Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am  sending you.&quot; </span><b><sup>22</span></sup><span>And  with that he breathed on them and said, &quot;Receive the Holy Spirit. </span></b><sup>23</span></sup><span>If  you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not  forgive them, they are not forgiven.&quot;</span></p>
777<p>However, the 2<sup>nd</sup> occurrence happens during the Feast of Pentecost represents a larger harvest, the <b> summer harvest</b>.</p>
778<p class="Quote"><sup>Acts 1:4</sup><span>On one  occasion, while he was eating with them, <b>he gave them this  command: &quot;Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father  promised</b>, which you have heard me speak about. </span><sup>5</sup><span>For  John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.&quot;</span><sup> Acts 1:8</sup><span>But <b>you  will receive power when the Holy Spirit</b> comes on you;
778 and you  will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and  to the ends of the earth.</span></p>
779<p class="Center"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="240" src=" ../images/content/image076.jpg" width="360" border="0"></span></p>
780<p class="Quote"><sup>Acts 2:1</sup><span><b><span style="COLOR: black">When the  day of Pentecost came</span></b><span style="COLOR: black">, they  were all together in one place. </span><sup>2</sup><span>Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and  filled the whole house where they were sitting. </span> <sup>3</sup><span>They  saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to  rest on each of them. </span><sup>4</sup><span>All  of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.</span>
781</p>
782<p>The Feast of Firstfruits illustrates a  spiritual harvest from His church.</p>
783<p class="Quote"><sup>Matthew 16:18</sup><span>And I  tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock <b>I will build my church</b>, and the gates of  Hades will not overcome it.</span></p>
784<h2><a name="_Toc154139420">3.4 Two Loaves</a></h2>
785<p>Notice that it is required to present two  &#8220;leavened loaves&#8221; as an offering on Pentecost.</p>
786<p class="Quote"><sup>Leviticus 23:15</sup><span>  &quot; &#8216;From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of  the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. </span><sup>16</sup><span>  Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and  then present an offering of new grain to the LORD. </span><sup>17</sup><span>  From wherever you live, <b>bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an  ephah of fine flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering </b>of  firstfruits to the LORD.</span></p>
787<p>Consider some characteristics of the wave  offering:</p>

1069<p>Notice the tribe of Judah; this is the family  which is termed Jewish.&nbsp; It is interesting to note that the promise  of the 144,000 Israelites in the book of Revelation are different.&nbsp;  Also, does the 144,000 represent &#8220;all of Israel&#8221;? (We will learn  more on this later.)</p>
1070<p>The Pentecost wave offering symbolizes the  future resurrection of the Church, waved as Christ was presented  before the Father.&nbsp;</p>
1071<p>The leavening represents the sin within the  Church.&nbsp; And the loaves are waved in the air, symbolic of the  Christians leaving the earth, resurrected and meeting their Savior  in the air.&nbsp; </p>
1072<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Corinthians 15:20</sup><span>But  Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of  those who have fallen asleep.</span></p>
1073<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Corinthians 15:23</sup><span>But each in his own  turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.</span></p>
1074<h2><a name="_Toc154139421"></a>3.5 The Church Age</h2>
1075<p>The Feast of Pentecost represents the church age, the time of the church.  After 2,000 years, we are privileged to be a part of this ongoing, amazing time.  We have been invited, called out and are now part of God’s much bigger plan.</p>
1076<h3><a name="_Toc154139422"></a>3.5.1 The Holy Nation</h3>
1077<p>From the very beginning, God wanted a Holy priesthood that would represent Him.  A Holy Nation that would live His lifestyle, and be blessed.  God wanted Israel to be this Holy Nation.</p>
1078<p class="Quote"><sup>Exodus 19:5</sup><span> Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, </span><sup>6</sup><span> <b>you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation</b>.&#8217;
1078 These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.&#8221;</span></p>
1079<p>However, Israel did not fulfill this.  They would not obey.  Why?  They did not have God’s Holy Spirit.  They were rebellious and worshipped other gods.</p>
1080<p class="Quote"><sup>Isaiah 1:2</sup><span> Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: &#8220;I reared children and brought them up, but <b>they have rebelled against me</b>. </span><sup>3</sup><span> The ox knows his master, the donkey his owner&#8217;s manger, but <b>Israel does not know, my people do not understand</b>.&#8221; </span><sup>4</sup><span> Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! <b>They have forsaken the LORD</b>; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.</span></p>

Their land is full of horses; there is no end to their chariots. </span><sup>8</sup><span> Their <b>land is full of idols</b>; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.</span></p>
1084<p class="Quote"><sup>Jeremiah 3:6</sup><span> During the reign of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, &#8220;Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? <b>She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there.</b> </span><sup>7</sup><span> I thought that after she had done all this she would return to me but she did not, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it. </span><sup>8</sup><b><span style="color: black;"> I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. </span></b> <span style="color: black;">Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery. </span> <sup>9</sup><span> Because Israel&#8217;s immorality mattered so little to her, she defiled the land and committed adultery with stone and wood.</span></p>
1085<p class="Quote"><sup>Hosea 2:2</sup><span> &#8220;Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for <b>she is not my wife, and I am not her husband.</b> Let her remove the adulterous look from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.</span></p>
1086<p class="Quote"><sup>Isaiah 50:1</sup><span> This is what the LORD says: &#8220;<b>Where is your mother&#8217;s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away?</b> Or to which of my creditors did I sell you? Because of your sins you were sold; because of your transgressions your mother was sent away.</span></p>
1087<p class="Quote"><sup>Isaiah 48:1</sup><span> I foretold the former things long ago, my mouth announced them and I made them known; then suddenly I acted, and they came to pass. </span><sup>4</sup><span> For<b> I knew how stubborn you were; the sinews of your neck were iron, your forehead was bronze</b>. </span><sup>5</sup><span> Therefore I told you these things long ago; before they happened I announced them to you so that you could not say, <b>&#8216;My idols did them; my wooden image and metal god ordained them.&#8217;</b></span></p>

1090<p class="Quote"><sup>Matthew 23:26</sup><span><b>Blind Pharisee! </b>First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. <sup>27</sup>&#8220;Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!

1091<p class="Quote"><sup>Matthew 23:37</sup><span>&#8220;O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but <b>you were not willing.</b></span></p>
1092<p class="Quote"><sup>Romans 11:25</sup><span>I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: <b>Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in</b>. <sup>26</sup>And so <b>all Israel will be saved</b>, as it is written: &#8220;The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. <sup>27</sup>And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.&#8221;</span></p>
1093<p>As we have seen before God had other plans. From the foundation of the world God desires His sanctified group, His “called out ones” to live a life that reflects His Spirit:</p>
1094<p class="Quote"><sup>Galatians 5:22</sup><span>But the fruit of the Spirit is <b>love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, <sup>23</sup>gentleness and self-control.</b> Against such things there is no law. <sup>24</sup>Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. <sup>25</sup>Since <b>we live by the Spirit</b>, let us keep in step with the Spirit.</span></p>
1095<p class="Quote"><sup>2 Timothy 1:7</sup><span>For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but <b>
1095a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.</b></span></p>
1096<h3><a name="_Toc154139423"></a>3.5.2 The Called Out Ones</h3>
1097<p>The word church comes from the Greek ecclesia (<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image068.gif" width="13" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image072.gif" width="13" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image072.gif" width="13" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image078.gif" width="14" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image071.gif" width="15" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image074.gif" width="16" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image079.gif" width="8" height="28" border="0" /><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image080.gif" width="16" height="28" border="0" />) meaning “called out ones”.  When we felt that stirring, that irresistible urge to come to Christ, or that calling, we answered the Lord with our response.  We invited Him into our lives and we began our new life in Him.  This is what God desires!</p>
1098<p>Here Peter restates God’s original desire:</p>
1099<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Peter 2:9</sup>But <b>you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God</b>, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. <sup>10</sup>Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.</p>
1100<p>And here we see God’s plan to “call” or “choose” His called out ones:</p>

1103<p class="Quote"><sup>Revelation 3:20</sup>Here I am!

1105<p class="Quote"><sup>2 Timothy 1:8</sup>So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner.

1107<p>Consider the trip to the grocery store. Buying produce, you would handle, examine, and test before you purchased the items.   God has examined you and as the called out ones of God, we have been specially hand picked by Him!  Here are other examples of how God selected various priests and prophets:</p>
1108<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Samuel 16:1</sup> The LORD said to Samuel, &#8220;How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. <b>I have chosen one of his sons to be king.</b>&#8220;</p>
1109<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Samuel 16:7</sup> But the LORD said to Samuel, &#8220;Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. <b>The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.</b>&#8221; <sup>8</sup> Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, &#8220;<b>The LORD has not chosen this one either.</b>&#8221; <sup>9</sup> Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, &#8220;Nor has the LORD chosen this one.&#8221; <sup>10</sup> Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, &#8220;<b>The LORD has not chosen these</b>.&#8221; <sup>11</sup> So he asked Jesse, &#8220;Are these all the sons you have?&#8221; &#8220;There is still the youngest,&#8221; Jesse answered, &#8220;but he is tending the sheep.&#8221; Samuel said, &#8220;Send for him; we will not sit down [<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" title="See footnote a" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2016%20;&amp;version=31;#fen-NIV-7607a#fen-NIV-7607a"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">a</span></a>] until he arrives.&#8221; <sup>12</sup> So he sent and had him brought in. He was ruddy, with a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, &#8220;<b>Rise and anoint him; he is the one.&#8221;</b> <sup>13</sup> So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on <b>the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power</b>. Samuel then went to Ramah.</p>
1110<p>Here is another fascinating story of the “calling” of Samuel.  God calls Samuel three times:</p>
1111<p class="Quote"><sup>1 Samuel 3:1</sup> The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions. <sup>2</sup> One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. <sup>3</sup> The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple [<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" title="See footnote a" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20sam%203&amp;

Samuel!&#8221; <b> Then Samuel said, &#8220;Speak, for your servant is listening.</b>&#8221; <sup>11</sup> And the LORD said to Samuel: &#8220;See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. <sup>12</sup> At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. <sup>13</sup> For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons made themselves contemptible, [<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" title="See footnote b" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20sam%203&amp;version=31#fen-NIV-7290b#fen-NIV-7290b"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">b</span></a>] and he failed to restrain them. <sup>14</sup> Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, &#8216;The guilt of Eli&#8217;s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.&#8217; &#8221; <sup>15</sup> Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the LORD. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision, <sup>16</sup> but Eli called him and said, &#8220;Samuel, my son.&#8221; Samuel answered, &#8220;Here I am.&#8221; <sup>17</sup> &#8220;What was it he said to you?&#8221; Eli asked. &#8220;Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.&#8221; <sup>18</sup> So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, &#8220;He is the LORD; let him do what is good in his eyes.&#8221; <sup> 19</sup> The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground. <sup>20</sup> And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba recognized that Samuel was attested as a prophet of the LORD. <sup>21</sup> The LORD continued to appear at Shiloh, and there he revealed himself to Samuel through his word.</p>

1113<h3><a name="_Toc154139424"></a>3.5.3 Holy Spirit</h3>
1114<p>Books upon books have been written to describe the characteristics of Holy Spirit.  But what is it about the Holy Spirit that allows us to be with Christ?  Without God’s Holy Spirit, it is impossible to please Him!  Holy Spirit is the helper we need to please God and be a part of His Kingdom.  We received the Holy Spirit when we give our lives to the Lord and this is symbolized at baptism. The Feast of Pentecost physically and spiritually reflects baptism.</p>
1115<p>The Spirit of the Lord was with Jesus.  Here are the characteristics of the Spirit and the verse in Isaiah 11 on how the Holy Spirit helped Him:</p>
1116<ul>
1117<li>Wisdom</li>
1118<li>Understanding</li>
1119<li>Counsel</li>
1120<li>Power</li>
1121<li>Knowledge</li>
1122<li>Fear of the Lord</li>
1123</ul>
1124<p class="Quote"><sup>Isaiah 11:2</sup> The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the <b>Spirit of wisdom</b> and <b>of understanding</b>, the <b>Spirit of counsel and of power</b>, the <b>
1124Spirit of knowledge and of the fear</b> of the LORD &#8211; <sup>3</sup> and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;</p>
1125<p class="Quote"><sup>Ephesians 1:13</sup>And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, <b>you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit</b>, <sup>14</sup>who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God&#8217;s possession—to the praise of his glory.</p>
1126<p class="Quote"><sup>John 4:13</sup>Jesus answered, &#8220;Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, <sup>14</sup>but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, <b>the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life</b>.&#8221; <sup>15</sup>The woman said to him, &#8220;Sir, give me this water so that I won&#8217;t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.&#8221;</p>
1127<p class="Quote"><sup>John 4:23</sup>Yet a time is coming and has now come when <b>the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.</b> <sup>24</sup>God is spirit, and his <b>worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth</b>.&#8221;</p>
1128<p class="Quote"><sup>2 Corinthians 5:20</sup><b>We are therefore Christ&#8217;s ambassadors</b>, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ&#8217;s behalf: Be reconciled to God.</p>
1129<h2><a name="_Toc154139425"></a>3.6 The Numbers</h2>
1130<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src=" ../images/content/image081.jpg" width="249" height="253" align="left" hspace="12" />If we looked at the world’s religions in 2005, we will find that 33% claim to be Christian.  This is roughly 2.1 billion people.  This list includes: Catholics, Protestants and several others from the 33,280 different Christian denominations. These statistics are provided by the Wikipedia website. <span style="font-size: 8pt;"> [<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_world_religions">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_world_religions</a>]</span></p>
1131<p>&nbsp;</p>
1132<p>If we consider the history of the church and the number of people who claim to be Christian from the start, you will find some staggering numbers. Carl Haub, a demographer for the Population Reference Bureau, produced a report which “guesstimated” the accumulative population of the world up through the year 2002.</p>
1133<p>&nbsp;</p>
1134<p>Mr. Haub’s research is intriguing; however, when examined in light of biblical information, his research needs the following biblical corrections:</p>
1135<p>&nbsp;</p>
1136<p class="Center">
1137<ul>
1138<li>The date should not start from 50000 B.C. but rather from 4000 B.C. which is considered the biblical date for the creation of Adam.</li>
1139<li>Does not account for the flood in 2500 B.C. in which all life was destroyed except Noah and his family: eight persons repopulate the earth.</li>
1140</ul>
1141<p>Finally, if we take today’s percentage of Christians (33%), apply it to Carl’s analysis, and extrapolate, we get a rough idea of the number of Christians throughout time. (Note: These numbers are all rough approximations and are used for illustration only.)</p>
