Father's Day (cartoons)
* On the morning of the 3rd day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled... (Exo 19:16 - 24:4)
* Count off 50 days up to the day after the 7th Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to YAHWEH ... you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. (Lev 23:16-21 / Deu 16:10,11)
* They assembled at Jerusalem in the 3rd month of the 15th year of Asa's reign. ... They entered into a covenant to seek YAHWEH, the ELOHIM of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
(2Chr 15:10-15)
(2Chr 15:10-15)
[WAR: Even though a specific date is not mentioned, it's quite obvious that this -- "entered into a covenant to seek YAHWEH" -- would have happened on Pentecost, when their forefathers had also entered into a covenant with YAHWEH.]
* The men of Israel and Judah who lived in the towns of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things dedicated to YAHWEH their ELOHIM, and they piled them in heaps. They began doing this in the 3rd month and finished in the 7th month. (2Chr 31:5-7)
[WAR: Again, no specific date, but it would seem that starting this on Pentecost would be logical.]
* After fasting 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." (Mat 4:2--11 / Luke 4:2-13)
[WAR: And again, no specific date, but this is just a theory.]
* When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place... (Acts 2:1-41)
