Dear friends, the Lord is risen! He is truly risen! Hallelujah!
In germany we use this as a greeting. Der Herr ist auferstanden! Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden! Hallelujah!
So in spite of all discussions and all bad news in this world. This is a fact which becomes the base of our hope, that one time we be together with Him in eternity in a world witout suffer, sickness, pain and death!

After Passover when the Hebrew Children left Egypt they spend 40 days in the wilderness to get to Mount Sinai. Then Moses spent 10 days and on the 50 th day he came down with the ten commandments. Of course the year of Jubilee is 49 so on the 50 year they are released. There is 50 days between passover and Pentecost where Peter was preaching in the Upper Room and the Holy Spirit was pours out on the church.

People are saying that something will happen 40 days after Passover this years and that something will happen on Pentecost this year. It is difficult to look forward to predict what is going to happen. This will be a lot easier to look back to see what happened.

The resurrection power of God is already at work in us to prepare us for that day when we will be risen with Him.

That would be wonderful if the holy spirit was poured out worldwide this pentecost. I was thinking maybe it might actually return to Jerusalem this time. Certainly there must be some kind of anticpation or expectation there...?

The Rabbi from their study of the Old Testament have just as much expectation as Christians do. The new Jerusalem is 1500 by 1500 by 1500 miles. That is the entire Arab Continental plate including air space and mineral rights.

interesting that picture you can clearly see the little landbridge where the Israelites crossed the Red sea to get out of Egypt on the peninsula. Of course its covered with water now but its a raised ridge that was dry when God blew the sea away to let them cross.

if you follow the Hebrew calendar you could probably get the right date. They go by the moon and have an extra year or so every couple of years...not sure if this year is a jubilee year or did they already have it.?

I am amazed at how out of sync the gregorian calendar is with the cycles of the moon. A regular moon cycle is 28 days but you almost never get the new moon on the first of the month, cos for some strange reason, the gregorian calendar months mostly have 30 or 31 days.

"Thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee."
Leviticus 25:10

What the Jewish calendar does is add a month here and there, not a year. A leap year in the Jewish calendar has 13 months and occurs 7 times in a 19-year cycle.

The lunar cycle which the Jewish calendar follows is called a synodic month, not to be confused with the sidereal month...

Regardless of the culture, all lunar calendar months approximate the mean length of the synodic month, which is the average period the Moon takes to cycle through new, first quarter, full, and last quarter phases and back again: 29–30 days. The Moon completes one orbit around Earth every 27.3 days (a sidereal month), but due to Earth's orbital motion around the Sun, the Moon does not yet finish a synodic cycle until it has reached the point in its orbit where the Sun is in the same relative position. This last bit is easily ascertained on wiki:)

If you are a gardener or fisherman following the gregorian calendar tells you nothing.
