In the past, many have tended to believe a void exists between the “ending” of the days of Unleavened Bread and the later celebration of Pentecost. We have not typically connected these two feasts together as we should. Today, we will see that God originally intended this period of time to be a season of rejoicing rather than the celebration of a few isolated Holy Days. God has a distinct message for us during this period of approximately 50 days. But, before we find out what that message is, let’s review biblical history from both the Old Testament and New Testament regarding this period of time. Let us see what the Father wants us to learn.
