Now let’s continue right on here in Matthew 13. And He gives another parable. And this parable is that a man planted good seed in his field and then an enemy came along and planted tares. Now let’s see the explanation of this. Let’s pick it up here in verse 26. “And He put forth another parable to them saying, The kingdom of God is compared to a man who was sowing good seed in his field. And while men were sleeping…” Now tie that in with Matthew 25, the ten virgins, wise and foolish, both slumbered and slept. This means we’re going to have our down time. This means we’re going to have our weaknesses, you see. But then we need to be revived and really go forth in zeal. “While men were sleeping his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away” (Matt. 13:25,AT). And this is like throwing infiltrators into the church. And this is why every once in a while God has got to scatter the church, He’s got to give the upheaval, He’s got to separate the wheat from the tares, He’s got to separate the enemy from those who love Him, and let the enemy go on their way thinking that they have a great victory, which they really don’t. But it has a way of cleansing and purging.

But you see, there’s something about tares, verse 26, “And when the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the tares also appeared.” But you see, before the tares are apparent, before the wheat sprouts the heads of grain, the tares and the wheat look the same. So you can’t tell. And we saw how that happened. Some snuck in unawares, like it says there in Jude and 2 Peter, that they stealthily crept in. And they disrupted the churches. “So his servants came to the master of the house and said to him, Sir, now didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Now where did these tares come from? And he said, A man who is an enemy has done this. Then his servants said, Do you want us to go out and gather them? But he said, No, lest while you’re gathering the tares, you also uproot the wheat with them. But allow both to grow until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, reap the tares first, bind them into the furnace, but gather my wheat into my granary” (vs. 26-30). Now, gathering the wheat into the granary then is, being resurrected and coming into the house of God. So we are likened unto a harvest. That’s why Pentecost has to be the day of the first resurrection because it is a harvest feast.

Now, let’s come down to verse 33. And here’s where we understand the good use of leaven. Verse 33, “Another parable He spoke to them, The kingdom of heaven is compared to leaven…” Now you see, that’s why only during the Feast of Unleavened Bread is leaven compared to sin. And it’s compared to sin during that time because leaven is such a common thing. And leaven can do good things. It makes fine bread, it causes it to rise, you see. And it also helps to ferment wine and beer, and to do other things. It’s also is in the process of pickling and things like this. So here’s leaven in a good sense. Now you can’t say that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto sin because it’s not, it’s righteousness. So then here is a good use of leaven. “…Which a woman [a woman being a type of the church] took and hid in three measures of flour until all was leavened.” Now this shows the process the process of growing. Now when you reach a certain point, and I think it’s interesting that when you leaven bread, you let it rise and then you punch it down. And we can liken that unto trials and difficulties, and growing and overcoming. And then it rises again. Now I don’t know if you do it two times or three times. I suppose it would depend on what kind of bread you were making.

Now when it’s raised in it’s final form, it is either made into loaves and then raised to it’s final form, or into rolls or into whatever it may be. Now when you put it in the oven and bake it, you have permanently changed the nature of the dough into a finished product of bread. So likewise, that’s why we saw in Leviticus 23 there were to be two leavened loaves which were to be brought and accepted by God. These two loaves symbolize:

1)    The firstfruits who will be permanently be changed forever at the resurrection, who come from the Old Covenant.

2)    The firstfruits which come from the New Covenant, who at the resurrection will also be permanently changed.

Now, let’s understand something, in that then there are not going to be, as I will say, any half-baked Christians. Because you see, you’re either going to make the resurrection or you’re not going to make the resurrection. That’s the whole story involved. So this is why we have the two loaves in Leviticus 23. And this is why the kingdom of God is likened unto leaven, because those, as we will see, who are in the resurrection will be changed just like the dough when it’s leavened and then baked has been permanently changed.

Now let’s come to Acts 2, which is the whole focal point of Pentecost and it’s meaning in the New Testament. And this is a start. Remember, when you received the Holy Spirit, it is the planting of the seed. Then you go through your whole lifetime, which is the growth, and then you die and are put in the grave. And then the harvest comes. So right here we are seeing on the day of Pentecost:

1)    The beginning of the church by the giving of the Holy Spirit.

2)    The very firstfruits after the apostles and the 120, which included the apostles, the very firstfruits into the church who received the firstfruits of the Holy Spirit.

Now, verse 1. I’m going to read it to you the way that it should be translated. “And when the day of Pentecost, the fiftieth day was being fulfilled…” A present tense articular infinitive meaning, it was being fulfilled. Not after it had been completed, but during the completion of it, or while the day of Pentecost was being fulfilled, while the day of Pentecost was being completed. Or during the fulfilling of the day of Pentecost. All of those would be legitimate translations of the articular infinitive. “…They were all with one accord in the same place.” Now that’s interesting, isn’t it? Because what’s going to happen on the last Pentecost, we’re all going to be in one accord in one place, are we not? Yes, as we’ll see on the sea of glass.

Then suddenly there came the Holy Spirit, like the sound of a mighty rushing wind, the tongues of fire. They heard them speak in their own languages, and we find the whole end of this being…let’s come down here to verse 36 after Peter gives a powerful message, tells the meaning of it, tells about Christ, brings them to repentance. And verse 36, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with full assurance, that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Now God wants us to understand something concerning our sins. Since Christ died for the sins of the world, He also died for us. And if He died for us, that means He died for you as an individual. And if He died for you as an individual to cover your sins, that means you had your particular part in the crucifixion of Christ. You need to think about that. You need to understand the severity, and the consequences of sin that was put upon Christ.

So that’s why he said verse 37, “And after hearing this, they were cut to the heart, and they said to Peter and to the other apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? And Peter said, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you, and your children, and to all those that afar off, meaning as many as the Lord our God will call” (vs. 36-40, AT). And that’s a prophecy coming clear down to our day. “And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.” And if that was a perverse generation, oh I wonder what they’d call this generation. Perverse, perverse, perverse? And God is saving us from this perverse generation and we are to shine as lights in the world because of that, brethren.

Now, verse 41, “They those who joyfully received his message were baptized, about three thousand souls were added that day.” The day of Pentecost. So here is the first fulfillment of the day of Pentecost of the spiritual fulfillment of the two wave loaves which were waved before the Lord. The accepting of the 3000.

Now let’s go on and see some other things concerning the firstfruits. Let’s understand something here. In the Old Testament we were told that in Jeremiah 2:3 that Israel was firstfruits unto God. The church is the true Israel of God. We are firstfruits unto God. Now let’s see that. Let’s come here to James 1, and let’s see what James shows, what we are to God. We are called the firstfruits of His creation, the most important thing of all that God has created. Now you consider the heavens, you consider the earth, you consider the universe, you consider all of the planets, you consider all the people, you consider the earth and everything that is in it and all that God has done to make it so that mankind can be here, and the most important thing is those who are the firstfruits. That’s the most important thing to God.

Now, let’s pick it up here in the first chapter of James. Let’s begin in verse 17. “Every good act of giving, and every perfect gift is from above…” Now we have the good act of giving - God gave His only begotten Son, because He loved the world, and whosoever believes on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. That is a good and perfect gift. The gift of the Holy Spirit is a good and perfect gift. The gift of the understanding of the word of God is a perfect gift. Living in the day and age in which we now live, and able to see unfold before us all the things that have been prophesied from the creation of the world are going to be finished in this life. And we may be able to see all of that, which then is a good and perfect gift from God. And then the resurrection is the greatest and most perfect gift that comes from God because then you will be perfected, changed from flesh to spirit. Changed from a human being to a living eternal glorified son or daughter of God. “…And coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Remember that. “According to His own will [because He desired to do so] begat us with the word of truth, for us to be a kind of firstfruits of all His created beings” (James 1:17-18, AT). And remember as we saw during Unleavened Bread, Christ is being created in us. Salvation is creation, and there is the final act of creation by resurrecting us from the dead.

Now let’s come to 1 Corinthians 15, and let’s see something concerning Christ. He, as we saw, for the Wave Sheaf Offering, is the first of the firstfruits. He is the premiere sheaf. He leads the way. Now here in 1 Corinthians 15:20. “But Christ has now been raised from the dead, and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death [that’s through Adam], by man also came the resurrection of death [the second Adam, Christ]. For as in Adam all die,…” (1 Cor. 15:20-22, AT). And no man has stopped that. The only ones who will not die in Adam are those who are still alive at the time of Christ. Everyone else before the return of Christ is going to die in Adam. No way around it.

Now let’s understand something also. That if you die in the faith, that’s a glorification of God, and you’ll be in your place of rest, and you will hear the voice of Christ to call you when the resurrection comes on that last Pentecost. “…So also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order…” (vs. 22). That shows no one is going to heaven, you see. Christ the firstfruit, then at His coming those who are Christ’s. So that’s why it’s so very important.

Let’s come to Romans 8:19 and let’s see something else concerning firstfruits. That we have what is called the firstfruits of the Spirit. And I want you to understand something here. Whether the world realizes it or not, the world is waiting for you, and all the sons of God. It’s out there going it’s own way, all the troubles, and difficulties, and war, and sin, and wretchedness, and it doesn’t know why. And it doesn’t have a clue. And they try everything to change. They try everything to make it work. But you see, human nature being evil, a mixture of good and evil, can never make things right. And all of that is part of the curse that came with Adam.

Now let’s understand this, verse 20. “Because the creation was subject to vanity, not willingly,…” God did it because there was hope. “…But by reason of Him Who subjected it in hope in order that the creation itself might be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Rom. 8:20-21, AT). And that’s us at the resurrection. That’s what the world is waiting for now. And it doesn’t know that. And that’s why we need, brethren, to be dedicated. We need to be excited about what God has given us to do. Our calling that God has given us. It’s a one time special calling that is greater than anything else.

“For we know that all the creation is groaning together and travailing together until now. And not only that, but we ourselves who have the firstfruit of the Holy Spirit…” Yes, we have the firstfruit. That is the begettal, so that we become the bonified harvest of the full firstfruit at the harvest at that last Pentecost. “…Are also groaning within ourselves waiting for the sonship, that is, the redemption of our bodies.” Now also, let’s understand this, and how important that this is. And let’s understand how important it is in relationship to Christ, ok?

Now verse 26, “In the same way also, the Spirit is conjointly helping our weaknesses,…” That’s why God has given the Spirit. Because our weaknesses will pull us down, but the Holy Spirit there is to help us and lift us up. Because we do not fully understand...and this is true, and pray. What we should be praying for according is necessary, but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be expressed by us. God, in our prayers, conveys the meaning and feeling of our hear, and our mind, and our prayers, and brings that to God in an understandable language without all of the trappings and difficulties that happen because of the weakness of our mind, and brings to God a pure offering, which is, as we have seen, is like in the book of Revelation where the prayers of the saints ascend up to the altar of incense and before God, and are a sweet incense before Him, you see.

Verse 27, “But the one who searches the hearts comprehends what the strivings of the Spirit are,…” So God understands it. “…But makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” And right now, with the Holy Spirit of God, it is interceding for you to bring your thoughts, and your mind, and your heart, and your intent before Christ, before Whom everyone is laid bare. And He is our High Priest to help us, to hear us, to cleanse us, to forgive us, to lead us, to guide us, to develop His character in us, see.

Now verse 28, “For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,…” And that’s the paramount important thing, brethren, to love God with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your soul, and all your being. “…To those who are called according to His purpose [which you have been]. Because those whom He did foreknow [which He knows you now], He did predestinate [and this is your destiny] to be conformed to the image of His own Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” (vs. 28-29, AT). And that’s why He’s the firstborn of the firstfruits, and we are the firstfruits, and we are the church of the firstborn.

Now let’s come to 1 John 3, and here is a great and marvelous thing, brethren. I want you to understand that no religion in the world has a clue. They don’t understand. Now I know there have been people upset at me because I say God hates religion. He does. Now you just step back and you look at all religions, and you ask the question: are they doing the will of God or are they blinded? Do they understand the purpose of God? Do they know the plan of God? Do they understand what the whole purpose of human life is? The answer is, no. And as a matter of fact, the religions of this world decry what the Bible teaches, that we will become the very sons of God, and that we will share in the very glory of Christ, the same glory that He has. But God wants us to understand that, and keep that as a burning thing right in the forehead of our minds and our thoughts.

1 John 3:1, “Behold, what glorious love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God.” Because you see, the people that are in the world are the children of the devil doing his will, see. Now we are the children of God. “For that very reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are the children of God…” Now you think about that. Because you have the begettal of the Holy Spirit, you are a child of God, just like when it refers to John the Baptist. Now remember what happened when Mary came to visit Elisabeth when she was six months pregnant. The child leaped in her womb at the sound of the voice of Mary coming to see Elisabeth. So though you are not yet born into the kingdom, you are every much a child as it describes John the Baptist was a child at that particular time, but you have not yet been born of the resurrection into the kingdom of God, you have not been born again. But God counts us in the same way. “…Now we are the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,…” Just like a baby that is developing before it’s born, you don’t know what it is. It hasn’t been revealed yet because it hasn’t been born. I mean, you can have a good idea, but you really don’t know. But this one thing John says we know, and I want you to know this brethren. And I want you to really grasp this, and I want you to understand the power and the meaning of the Day of Pentecost. “…But we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him because we shall see Him exactly as He is.” And this is to propel us in growth and overcoming. Verse 3 says. “Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself even as He is pure” (1 John 3:1-3, AT).

Now, let’s come to Revelation 1 and let’s see what Christ looks like. And let’s get a glimpse of some of this glory that God is going to share with us that we are going to be part of. Let’s come here to Revelation 1:11. “And I heard this loud voice like a trumpet saying to me, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, and what you see, write in a book, and send it to the churches that are in Asia…” Now isn’t it interesting that there are seven churches? And isn’t it interesting that there are seven weeks unto the harvest? And there’s a parallel that takes place there.

Now verse 12, “And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.” That is seven, probably in a circle. “And in the midst of the seven lampstands, one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, girded about the chest with a golden breastplate. His head and His hairs were white like wool, white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and His feet were like fine brass, as if they glowed in a furnace, and His voice was as the sound of many waters. And in His right hand he had seven stars. And a sharp twoedged sword went out of His mouth, and His countenance was as the sun shining in it’s full strength” (Rev. 1:11-16, AT). And you are going to have that kind of glory, because it says we will be like Him.

Now let’s just briefly review the seven churches. I’m not going to go through them except to say this: each of the churches pictures the equivalent of a one week harvest, the seven weeks to the harvest, as fulfilled in the time leading up to the first resurrection from Christ Who is the first of the firstfruits, to the resurrection of the saints from the dead. And when that happens that is going to be a glorious thing. Now when we come to chapter seven we have something that is very important. So we have the seven churches - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, but we also know that there is something else that God is doing, reserved for the 50^th day, or the eighth day of the seventh week. And we find that in Revelation 7 which is the 144,000, and the great innumerable multitude.

Now what I am going to do, I’ve been, because working on the New Testament project, I have not been able to finish an article that was started by Harry and Cindy Curley, where they took the tapes I did on the 144,000…and I worked somewhat on it for a booklet on the 144,000. So what I’m going to do, I’m just going to say that if you want that preliminary draft…please understand it’s a preliminary draft and it needs to be finished, but there is a lot of good information there which will help you understand about the 144,000 and the great innumerable multitude of Revelation 7, and the 144,000 or Revelation 14. There are two different sets of 144,000.

But back here to Revelation 7. This is the 50^th day harvest, which God reserves exclusively for Himself. This is one in which that He sends the Holy Spirit and has an angel seal them with the Holy Spirit, as differentiated from during the time now where we repent and are baptized and receive the Holy Spirit with the laying on of hands. And the 144,000 in Revelation 7 have to do with the children of Israel, and the great innumerable multitude are all of those who come out of great tribulation. And they are the last day harvest. Very similar to the parable that Christ gave of those who were working where the man went out, and he hired them the first hour. You know, and then all the way down through the day. And he came to the very eleventh hour and he hired them, brought them into his vineyard. They worked just a short time. He paid them first. And he paid them the same as the ones that started at sunrise. See because, that’s symbolic of eternal life. So likewise, the 144,000 / great innumerable multitude are those who are the eleventh hour. But they make it into the kingdom of God. And that’s what’s so important and what’s so profound.

Ok, so let’s come to Revelation 11, since we’re here, and let’s look at another principle that God has, and we’ll apply this, and then we will look at the thing concerning the trumpet, and the resurrection from the dead, and the harvest of the firstfruits and where they will be. Revelation 11, and let’s pick it up here with the two witnesses whose bodies laid in the street of the city called Sodom and Egypt, which is Jerusalem, where Christ was crucified. And then they’re resurrected.

Now let’s pick it up here in verse 11. “Then I saw the Spirit of life from God enter into them, after the three and a half days, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.” I guess so. Now here is a tremendous thing to understand. Remember the principle: the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. Here we see it exactly fulfilled in the resurrection. The last two who are martyred, the two witnesses, are the first two who are resurrected.

Now let’s continue on right here in verse 12. “Then I heard a great voice from heaven saying, Come up here. And they ascended into heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them rise. And in that hour there was a great earthquake, a tenth part of the city fell, seven thousand men were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were filled with fear and gave glory to the God of heaven. The second woe is past, behold the third woe is coming immediately. The seventh angel sounded his trumpet…” Now let’s notice what happened at this seventh trumpet. This is one trumpet, not many trumpets. It is the last trumpet, and it is the trumpet that sounds for the resurrection, as we will see right here. “And there were great voices in heaven saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the our Lord’s and of His Christ, and He shall reign into the ages of eternity. And the twenty-four elders, who sit before God on their thrones, fell on their faces and worshipped Him saying, We give you thanks, O Lord God Almighty, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, that You’ve taken to Yourself Your great power and have reigned. The nations were angry, Your wrath is come, and that the time of the dead that You should judge them, and to give…” Now notice: “…and to give reward to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to all those who fear Your name, the small and the great” (Rev. 11:12-18, AT). That is the time of the resurrection.

Now let’s come back to 1 Corinthians 15, and let’s see how this ties right in with it, and how with the sound of the trumpet, not trumpets… And remember that on the Day of Pentecost the sound of the trumpet was blown at the temple. Now let’s pick it up here 1 Corinthians 15:44. “It was sown a natural body…” That is when you are put into the grave. “…It is raised a spiritual body.” There will be a complete change, just like when the loaf of the leavened dough is baked, it is a permanent change. So here is a permanent change with a spiritual body. “There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.” So the very fact that you can put your arms around yourself, and give yourself a hug and squeeze, as it were, you have walking all the time with you, your body, wherever you go. That is an absolute guarantee, if you have the Spirit of God, that if you endure to the end, you will have a spirit body. No doubt about it. That’s why God does not want you to doubt one second. He does not want you to waver in belief one bit. And if you do, go stand in front of a mirror and see that you have a physical body, and know that you will have a spiritual body. Now, it’s not going to be the same kind of body that you have now, because it’s spiritual.

Now notice verse 45. “And according as it is written, The first man Adam because a living soul; the last Adam became an ever living spirit. However the spiritual was not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is of the earth, made of the dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the one made of dust, so are also those who are made of dust. And as the heavenly one, so also are those who are heavenly…”, which you will be. You will have the glory of God with the spirit body. “…As we have borne the image if the one made of dust, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly one. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God…” You must be a spirit being. “…Neither does corruption inherit incorruption.” And Paul says, “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep [that is remain in the grave], but we shall be changed, in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump [not trumpets]; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. And this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Now, this corruption shall not put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall not put on immortality. Then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory” (vs. 45-54, AT). And yes, that will be a tremendous victory. Absolutely marvelous.

Now let’s come to Matthew 24, and let’s see how this is going to happen here. Let’s pick it up here in verse 29. “But immediately after the tribulation of those days…” Now almost every Pentecost I go through the chronology of that, so this year I won’t, but you can go back over some of the other Pentecost tapes and get the chronology of it. “…The sun shall be darkened, the moon shall not give her light, the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven. Then shall all of the tribes of the earth mourn as they see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven with great power and glory” (Matt. 24:29-30, AT). And let’s understand this brethren. What happens - they will see Him first. Those of us who are alive will see this.

Then an event happens. Here is the harvest, verse 31, “Then He shall send His angels with a sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven unto the other.” And they shall carry them, as we will see, to the sea of glass. Now let’s understand something: as you view the earth from God’s throne, as it is turning, when the Day of Pentecost begins at sunset, as you go around the earth, it’s 24 hours till sunset comes to everyone. And then when in order to compete the day, then sunset comes and it takes another 24 yours for it to come to everyone on the earth, so there is going to be 24 hours of resurrection if we could put it that way.

Now let’s come to 1 Thessalonians 4, and we see again that Paul also reaffirms and upholds the same teachings that Christ gave. Now let’s pick it up here in verse 13. “But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that you be not grieved even as others, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in exactly the same way also those who have fallen asleep with Christ will God bring with Him. For this we say by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and are remaining unto the coming of the Lord shall in no wise proceed those who have fallen asleep. Because the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout of the command, with the voice of the archangel, with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, and we who remain alive shall be caught up together to meet Him in the clouds for the meeting with the Lord in the air” (1 Thes. 4:13-17, AT).

Now where are we going to meet him? Now let’s come to Revelation 14, and let’s see the harvest. Revelation 14:14, “And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and one like the Son of man sitting on the cloud having a golden crown on His head, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice, to Him Who’s sitting on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle because the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe” (Rev. 14:14-15, AT). And that’s the first resurrection. We are the firstfruits, the first resurrection.

Now where are we going to go? Now let’s pick it up here Revelation 15:2. “And I saw a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who had gotten victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they are singing the song of Moses [which is the victory song, overcoming death] the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and awesome are Your works, Lord God Almighty; righteous and true are Your ways, King of saints. Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name, for you are holy? And all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been revealed.” So when we’re resurrected, we’re going to meet Christ in the air. We’ll meet Him on the sea of glass. We will be on the sea of glass from Pentecost until the time that we return to the earth with Him on the Feast of Trumpets. And that’s when the servants of God will fight. So that’s the meaning of the Feast of Pentecost.
