The root meaning of Pentecost is fifty, the # in the Bible associated with a new beginning of new beginnings. The 3 Bible festivals bearing that # are the Feast of Weeks, Jubilee, and Pentecost. See all the links below | ||
In the old testament the Feast of Weeks occurred annually 50 days after the wave sheaf offering, while the Jubilee occurred only every 50th year. The new testament Pentecost event occurred one time only, 50 days after the resurrection.
