God required a very unique offering on this holiday that has a great spiritual and prophetic meaning; the offering was to contain leaven.
Israel had to TAKE the land and KEEP it holy. It was to be their possession to steward for God. Shavuot is about “keeping” the land.
Yeshua knew the disciples would feel like orphans when He died and was buried. Rather than reiterate the promise of His resurrection, He promised them the Holy Spirit to comfort them.
Under the leadership of Nehemiah, the returning Jews rebuilt the wall.
Let’s remember God’s instructions about the land He gave to them.
The land of Israel was important not only for spiritual reasons, but also for practical reasons. Israel was an agricultural society and life revolved around the harvest.
Many generations passed since God had given Abraham that promise. Finally Moses brought Israel into the Promised Land. The taking of the land was not easy and despite God’s command to rid it of the former inhabitants many still remained.
As we praise God for His unique creation of the One New Man, we also remember the Apostle Paul’s admonition and exhortation to the Gentiles.
When God broke down the wall of division between Jews and Gentiles, He never obliterated or changed the distinctives of the people. Jews never became non-Jews (Gentiles) nor did Gentiles ever become Jews. Neither did men become women or women become men. We are different but equal.
Despite God’s unique relationship with Israel, His goal was to create a single Kingdom community consisting of both Jews and Gentiles.
