More than 2,000 years of debate lies behind the question of when Messiah Yeshua rose from the dead. Rather than an esoteric inquiry, timing matters because Yeshua’s life, death, and resurrection happened “according to the Scriptures.”

There are three primary ways Judaism and Christianity use to determine when Shavuot — Hebrew for “weeks,” “sevens” or Sabbaths — will come. Richard considers another possiblity related to encampments the people of Israel during their exodus from slavery in Egypt leading up to their receiving the 10 Commandments from God at Mt. Sinai. The number of encampments after the people went through the sea and escaped Pharaoh’s army, the connection of those encampments with the weekly Shabbat (seeExodus 16) and the potential for a mistranslation of “day after the Sabbath” and “after the Sabbath, on the first day of the week” suggests that Yeshua’s resurrection and Shavuot came on weekly Shabbats. This isn’t just esoteric Bible-babbling. This connection to the Shabbat has an important bearing on what God is trying to teach with the festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Shavuot.
