The Feast of Pentecost

The Feast of Pentecost was a picture of the ingathering of God's elect by the mighty operations of God the Holy Ghost (Joel 2, Acts 2).

The two loaves of leavened bread represent God's elect, gathered from the four corners of the earth by the Holy Ghost, and presented before him, in connection with all the perfection and preciousness of Christ our Passover, who was sacrificed for us.
• In the Passover, we see the sacrificial death of Christ, the Lamb of God.
• In the sheaf of firstfruits, we see the resurrection, ascension, and acceptance of Christ as our sin-atoning Substitute.
• Here, in the feast of Pentecost, we see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh for the ingathering of God's elect, which was the result of Christ's accomplished redemption.
