Shavuot is one of the Three Pilgrim (or “Foot”) Festivals. It celebrates the giving of the Ten Commandments by God to the Children of Israel at Mount Sinai, 49 days (7 weeks) after the Exodus from ancient Egypt. Shavuout commemorates the fruit harvesting in the Land of Israel. It is also the culmination of the 49 days of Counting of the Omer. It has traditionally had Festive meals, all-night Torah studies and prayer seeking the Ruach (Holy Spirit). It has several traditions, like the recital of Akdamut, a liturgical poem in Ashkenazic synagogues, the reading of the Book of Ruth, eating of dairy foods, such as cheese blintzes and the decoration of homes and synagogues with greenery.

The people of Israel are commanded to take a census of their numbers in each tribe. It is time we also take stock of our lives - what are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? What glorifies God? What are we doing in attempt to glorify ourselves?
Your life has a purpose - do you know what it is? Have you asked God about it?
This wilderness experience is an ongoing relationship of testing and overcoming. YOU are HIS, and you have been called to be victorious!! You Can Do it!! Through HIM that lives in YOU.
Powerful & Awesome pictures of Salvation; The Year of Jubilee, Yovel, then the most beautiful picture with rewards, physically and spiritually to “Obedience”. Then Chapter 27, You the Priests are going to redeem what belongs to Yahweh. John 3:16, the world in Greek, “cosmos” literally means “the proper order”. You will return the “proper order” to this life. Wow! What He has planned for You is awesome!
“If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
then I will give you rain in due season.”
Jethro is a man of the world, (just like us). Why does Jethro come to Moses? Because the whole world heard about the Red Sea (a disaster for Egypt), and then another nation destroyed - the Amalekites!! Jethro was a seeker of Truth, a man with a heart for God’s truth! He then gives his life to Yahweh, making an offering to Him, and becomes one of the First Fruits of the Gentiles. Yahweh gives us guidance; The Ten Words-Aseret haDevarim. (John 1) Yeshua at Mount Sinai-Horeb.
Yahweh becomes the Guide to the Children, Joseph is honored; It’s all about His presence; Cloud & Fire. Just this section alone has three different examples of our lives; “Murmuring, grumbling, complaining”, all Evil Tongue, La shon Hara. I think we are just like them. Oh, plus there are many signs & wonders. Is that for the believers or the unbelievers? We also have water from the Rock, Yeshua (1Cor 10:4) & the Tree of Life; “Etz Chaim”. Haftarah: Judges 4.4-5.31; Just as the God fearing Moses went to Battle and God prevailed, Devorah was God’s anointed and God miraculously confused and prevailed over the Canaanites and Yahweh prevailed. A Good Summary see Isaiah 43:15-20
These children were promised deliverance and blessings and then they received such hardships, persecution, trials and tribulations, have you experienced any trials and tribulations? We need more straw for the brick! Where are the blessings? After the promise of the blessings and deliverance, have you ever said, “Where are you, Yeshua?” “Those who feared the Word of the Almighty among the servants of Pharaoh brought their servants and their cattle into the houses. And those who did not pay attention to the word of the Almighty left their servants and cattle in the field." (Exodus 9:20-21) Is this the opposite of „The Fear of the Lord? Do you think we have been listening to the „Word of God‟? (Study „Heart‟, „Hearts‟ and where they come from!)
