This engrossing book will quickly capture your attention as you realize the excitement leading up to The Feast of Pentecost (Shavuot in Hebrew) and the richness it will bring to your understanding of both Old and New Testament references. The authors treat us to the sense of anticipation that “cannot be overstated” as their insightful account of traditions leading up to this holiday unfolds. Shavuot will lead believers in Jesus into greater understanding of the significance of the omer, the waiting period, which foreshadows our watching for His return and gives further meaning to our work of building His Kingdom. Studying the Feast of Pentecost helps us understand such New Testament references as "First Fruits" and the biblical view of Pentecost in the book of Acts. Much of what happened as recorded in the book of Acts has either direct or indirect reference to the biblical festival of Pentecost.
