50 Days - The Counting of the Omer to Shevu'oth 

As we look out at a world that grows darker, as the hearts of men grow cold toward one another and the beast system is lifted up over man, one may wonder if any spiritual light remains. As the great apostasy rises in anticipation of the revealing of the man of lawlessness - that man of sin and son of perdition - questions arise in the heart concerning the soundness of scriptural doctrine and a worldview which is predicated on the sanctity of the Word of Elohiym.

For those of us who seek to come out of Babylon - to be separate and apart from the transforming world and to live our lives in accord with instruction of Yahuah, a light still remains; a powerful light, a menorah shining brightly, glowing brilliantly with the light of the world! The sevenfold candlestick called the menorah was given to us with an express instruction, that we might see a visual representation of the sevenfold doctrine of all creation (Chanoch 93:12).

This doctrine is revealed first in the narrative of creation, for in six days Elohiym did work and on the seventh day he rested. We are therefore given the practice of the seventh day of rest - the Shabbath modeled after the very work of creation itself. But Yahuah gives us even more understanding in the practice of the believers to also keep his appointed assemblies as they also reveal the glory of Yahuah in creation.

In this darkened world, there remains a light, and it is the servant light of Elohiym, the center light of menorah called the Shamash, and this light is practiced with the observance of Shevu'oth, the 50th day following the waving of the sheaf known in the Christian world as Pentecost. For the Berean students of scripture, this was the day of the founding of the called out assembly in Yerushalayim marked by the bringing of the Ruach ha'Qodesh like tongues of fire on the Talmadiym assembled together for this solemn assembly. But this day commemorates another day, when Moshe brought to the whole of the house of Yashar'el the great covenant of Yahuah - the Ten Devariym: handwritten on caphire by the very finger of Yah, the instruction in the covenant of life was also given on the 50th day. As we prepare to observe this very day, let us consider its history and background with another tour through the language of the Cepher.
