Today's meditation explores the symmetry between the Feast of Weeks of the Old Testament, and Pentecost. We jump around a lot: 

• Moses goes to Sinai and God descends on it in fire (Ex 19:18.) This represents the birth of the nation of Israel as a theocracy: the giving of the Law. 
• This was the first Feast of Weeks at Mt Sinai, 50 days after passover (Ex 19:1.) 
  • Later "official" Feasts of Weeks: Lev 23:15. 
• That day, 3000 Israelites died in rebellion (because Aaron made them a golden calf to worship at the foot of the mountain: Ex 32:28). 
• Joel prophesied that when the Holy Spirit fell there would be prophecy, visions, and dreams (Joel 2:28-29).
• John the Baptist prophesied the Holy Spirit would come with fire (Matt 3:11)
• The New Covenant fulfillment of the Feast of Weeks: Pentecost. The Holy Spirit falls as tongues of fire (Acts 2:1-12) and Peter quotes Joel (Acts 2:14-21).
• That day, 3000 new believers were added (Acts 2:41). Symmetry!
  • Paul says the law kills but the spirit gives life later (Romans 7:10, 2 Cor 3:6)

Today's podcast is a meditation on Psalm 69:30. We jump around to a few more verses:

1.  Psalms 69:30 says that thanksgiving magnifies God (gadal: same word as a child growing up physically). To make great, to lift up
2. The leper who came back to thank Jesus glorified Him (Luke 17:16-18). 
3. Romans 4:19-21: Abraham “was strong in faith, giving glory to God” (before the promise was fulfilled)
4. Psalm 103:2: “Forget not all his benefits”.
5. 2 Cor 10:5: Take your thoughts captive
6. Ephesians 4:18: your spiritual sight can be darkened; versus Eph 4:23: be renewed in the spirit of your minds (like Romans 12:2)
7. “to be spiritually minded is life and peace” (Romans 8:6).
