Pentecost of Pentecost's
The Year of Jubilee is associated with the Levitical convocation of the Day of Atonement in that the trumpet announcing the Jubilee was blown on the Day of Atonement.
The Year of Jubilee is associated also with the Levitical convocation of Pentecost. The Jubilee was celebrated every fiftieth year. The term Pentecost is derived from the Greek word meaning fifty. Pentecost, the feast of Weeks, was observed fifty days after the celebration of Firstfruits (Leviticus 23:16).
The Book of Acts portrays the new-covenant significance of the feast of Pentecost. Pentecost is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit being the One who is charged with bringing to pass the will of God in the Church of Christ.
Since Pentecost was celebrated once each year, on the fiftieth day after Firstfruits, and since the Year of Jubilee was observed every fiftieth year (Leviticus 25:10), we may say that Jubilee is the Pentecost of Pentecost's.
The fulfilment of the Jubilee is the climactic outpouring of the Spirit of God on the saints, to which the Scriptures refer in several passages—an outpouring of glory so extensive that the whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord. The Jubilee outpouring of glory, the Pentecost of Pentecost's, will come to pass during the Kingdom Age.
One of the first references to God’s intention to fill the earth with His Spirit is found in the Book of Numbers. The occasion was the provoking of God in the wilderness and the resulting threat of God to "kill all this people as one man."
In response to the prayer of Moses, God pardoned the complaining and rebelling of the Israelites. Then God revealed what is in His mind concerning His purpose in the earth:
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. (Numbers 14:21) We find the same promise in the prayers of David:
And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 72:19)
Again:
So the heathen [nations] shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. (Psalms 102:15,16)
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. (Isaiah 40:5)
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. (Habakkuk 2:14)
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. (Habakkuk 3:3)
Ezekiel has quite a bit to say about the Jubilee, the Pentecost of Pentecost's, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that will accompany the bringing in of the thousand-year Kingdom Age.
The message of Ezekiel describing the Day of the Lord, as is generally true of the revelations of the Prophets of Israel concerning events connected with the ministry of Christ, is found in the context of teaching that had to do with the problems of the nation of Israel—a group of people living at the time of the Prophet who was speaking.
When the hour of fulfilment arrives, the Holy Spirit causes the spiritual message to shine through the admonitions of the Prophets of ancient Israel (I Peter 1:10-12).
First, Ezekiel points toward the coming of Christ at the beginning of the Kingdom Age:
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. (Ezekiel 43:2)
The next two chapters of Ezekiel describe the activities of Israel, revealing the special interest that God will show toward His people during the Kingdom Age. By "His people" we mean primarily the true Israel of God: that is, all who have received Christ as Saviour whether or not they are Jewish by physical birth. Hopefully there will be millions of Jews by race added to Christ in our time and in the days to come.
As we stated previously, we believe Ezekiel is referring also to the nation of physical Jews. Ezekiel addressed both the Church and the physical nation, as we understand it.
Then Ezekiel portrays the covering of the earth by the Spirit of God and the resulting life and healing for the nations:
Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar. (Ezekiel 47:1)
The "door of the house" is Christ. The "house" is the Temple of God. The "water" of the Spirit of God always flows from the throne of God, from nowhere else. The throne of God will be located for eternity in Christ—Head and Body.
The reference to "eastward" and "east" typifies the saints who are "looking for and hasting unto [hastening] the coming of the day of God" (II Peter 3:12). They have their spiritual gaze focused on the dawning of the Day of the Lord. It is through these dedicated disciples of Christ that the Glory of God will come to the earth.
