Pesach, Omer (Sheaf) to Shavuot (Pentecost)
There are three biblically ordained holy days in the spring: Pesach, Omer (Sheaf), and Shavuot (Pentecost). Pesach, known as Passover, commemorates the exodus from Egypt and the crucifixion of Yeshua (Jesus). Omer, or Sheaf, commemorates the first leaves of the spring and the resurrection of Yeshua. Shavuot, called Weeks or Pentecost, celebrates the first fruits of the harvest season, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
The time between the Omer and Shavuot is often called the "counting of the Omer." Biblically, it is more correct to say that we are counting the "days from the Omer" until the day of Shavuot (Leviticus 23:15). There is only one Omer. Counting the days from that Omer-Sheaf emphasizes the importance of the resurrection.
The 50 days of counting also built expectation for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is like the "countdown" before the launching of a missile. Yeshua told His disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they were "clothed with power from on High (Luke 24:49)," that they would be "baptized in the Holy Spirit" in just a few days (Acts 1:5), and that they would receive "power" when the Holy Spirit came upon them (Acts 1:8). God gave the power of the Holy Spirit at Shavuot, Pentecost.
When did He "take it back?" The answer is: never. The fire of the Holy Spirit is available to us today as it was to the disciples in the book of Acts. This spiritual power is as real as fire, electricity, or nuclear power in the physical realm.
Today the Holy Spirit is available to any community of true believers in Yeshua on any day in any place. Yet I believe that the day is coming soon in which the conditions in which the fire was first poured out will be recreated. The fire will fall again on Messianic Jews, in Jerusalem, connected to the celebration of the feasts. If this expectation is shared in partnership by international Christians in every nation, a mighty revival will break forth as prophesied by Joel and by Simon Peter (Acts 2:17). God's Spirit will be "poured out on all flesh" before the great and terrible day of the coming of the Lord.
