The Feast of the Weeks

The Feast of Weeks (Hebrew: חַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת or Ḥag ha-Shavuot) is the fifth among YHWH's seven festivals and holds immense significance as a harvest festival, commemorating the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai and the Qodesh Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles. Celebrated seven weeks, or 50 days, after Passover, it marks the transition from the barley to the wheat harvest in ancient Israel. This joyful occasion holds profound significance within YHWH's Kingdom and culture.


In the Mosaic Covenant, the Feast of the Weeks was observed as YAHUWAH's harvest and thanksgiving. However, in the Renewed Covenant, it is celebrated as the Feast of the Qodesh Spirit and Increase.


In the Kingdom of Heaven, the first step is salvation (Passover), which involves being rescued from the system of this world and sin. The second step is setting your life apart for Elohim (Unleavened). The third step is conversion (the rescued become born-again and must bear fruit). This is what this feast implies. In the Kingdom, any tree that does not bear fruit must be cut down or abandoned (*Jh 15:1-10/ Matt 7:19-23).


In the Renewed Covenant, the Feast of Weeks marks the time of the visitation of the promised Qodesh Spirit of YAHUWAH: a time of harvest of people and increase (*Jh 16:7-13/ Luke 22:32/ Acts 2:1-40).
