PART 3-----ITEM B-----The Date of Pentecost in 31 AD-----Quote from booklet by Herbert W. Armstrong:
This item is given to show its correspondence to April 25, 31 AD in Item A above.
Quote: from the booklet, "Pagan Holidays or God's Holy Days Which?" by Herbert W. Armstrong.
"Meaning of Pentecost"
"Passover symbolized Christ's sacrifice for the remission of our sins, and the days of unleavened bread the putting away of sin. Pentecost pictures the first part of the spiritual harvest the calling out of the Church the called-out ones, which, for the New Testament dispensation, began on Sunday Pentecost, June 17, 31 AD. On that day the Holy Spirit came to dwell within flesh, as prophesied by Joel."
Note: Clearly the resurrection was the same year. Note also that this date of Pentecost (17 June 31 AD) corresponds with Passover being the 25th of April and the resurrection being on Sabbath afternoon, the 28th of April 31 AD using our calendar.
