Did You Know? 你知道嗎?
The Day of Pentecost was also known
as the “Feast of Weeks,”
“First Fruits of the Wheat Harvest,”
(Ex 23:16, 34:22),
and the “Day of the First Fruits”
(Num 28:26).
It takes place fifty days after the Passover.
It is a celebration in which
the Israelites offer the first fruits of their harvest
to God as a thanksgiving
and expect Him to bless the rest of the harvest period
(Lev 23:15-19; Num 28:26-29).
The Holy Spirit was poured out upon the believers
for the first time on the Day of Pentecost,
as recorded in Acts chapter 2.
五旬節也被稱為,
作為“七七節/收割節”,
“在收割初熟麥子的時候”
(出 23:16,34:22),
和“莊稼初熟”
(民 28:26)。
它是在逾越節五十天之後。
這是一場慶祝活動,在此活動中,
以色列人獻上他們收割的初熟之物,
是一種感恩的表現而獻給神,
並期待神會保佑接下來的收割節期
(利 23:15-19;民 28:26-29)。
聖靈澆灌在信徒身上,
是五旬節那天的第一次,
正如使徒行傳第二章所記載的情況。
