Jewish Holiday
Shavout- Festival of Weeks
50 days after Passover
by the first century it was celebrated as a dual festival
Shavout (or the Festival of weeks) and the commemoration of the giving of Torah at Mt. Sinai.
50 Days for their release from Egyptian slavery..
The Correlation between the two Pentecosts
God people gathered at the Mountian—Jesus’ followers were gathered
God descended on the Mountain in fire—the Holy Spirit descended in Fire
The people at Sinai heard the sound of rushing wind—the people at Pentecost heard a sound of rushing wind.
Law and Letter became Spirit and Truth
Law was written in stone—Love was emblazoned on our hearts

Conclusion:
Bishop Michael Curry:
French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin was arguably one of the great minds, one of the great spirits of the 20th century.
A Jesuit, Roman Catholic priest, scientist, a scholar, a mystic.
In some of his writings, he said from his scientific background as well as his theological one.
In some of his writings, he said as others have, that the discovery or invention or harnessing of fire was one of the great scientific and technological discoveries in all of human history.
Fire to a great extent made human civilization possible.
Fire made it possible to cook food and to provide sanitary ways of eating which reduced the spread of disease in its time.
Fire made it possible to heat warm environments and thereby made human migration around the world a possibility, even into colder climates.
Fire made it possible, there was no Bronze Age without fire, no Iron Age without fire, no industrial revolution without fire.
The advances of science and technology are greatly dependent on the human ability and capacity to take fire and use it for human good....
de Chardin said that fire was one of the greatest discoveries in all of human history.
And he then went on to say that if humanity every harnesses the energy of fire again, if humanity ever captures the energy of love, it will be the second time in history that we have discovered fire.
Dr. King was right, we must discover love.
The redemptive power of love.
And when we do that, we will make of this old world a new world.
We discover this love and its redemptive power only through the fire of the Holy Spirit.
It is because of the Son and through the Spirit that the fires of holiness and love will FLOW through us and “make this old wold a new world”
