What is the True Count to Pentecost Traditional Count Re-Examined

Ex 9:18-35 Plague of hail smote every herb of the field, broke every tree. Flax and barley smitten; wheat and rye were not smitten, for they were not grown up. Winter wheat, 4 months of 7 to maturity,would have been destroyed. Spring wheat had not yet been planted, or at least had not sprouted out of the ground, so would not have been affected by the hail. NOTE: If Pentecost is related to the giving of the law, why do the Israelites arrive at the Mount 7 days after the traditional day of Pentecost, and 43 days before Moses is given the tables of stone?
John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? The events of this scene take place during Abib at Passover, from John 2:13 to John 4:35. Jesus turns the tables at the temple at Passover season, John 2:13-16; meets with Nicodemus 3:1-21; visits John the Baptist 3:22-26; heads toward Galilee 4:1-3; rested in Samaria 4:4; encounters the woman at the well 4:7-26; then meets with the disciples when they return with food. It is at this meeting this statement in John 4:35 is made. This takes place during the first month of Abib, when the spring wheat would have been planted early in the month, taking 4 months to harvest time.

Spring wheat is planted in 1st month Abib, usually before Passover, takes 4 months to mature, is harvested at the end of the 4th month. Traditional Pentecost This traditional count uses the lunar solar calendar of scripture, with no Jewish postponements. Exo 19:3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Exo 19:10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, Third Day Exo 19:11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai. Exo 19:15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives. Exo 19:16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

Exo 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Deu 9:11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
John 5 points out this feast was a chag, Pentecost and not Passover or Tabernacles. (3 Chags a year) Notice the text points out that the healing of the paralytic took place on Sabbath, for which the Pharisees confronted Jesus. This is the same sabbath Moses came down from the mount with the tables of stone. The traditional counting of Pentecost doesnt occur on a Sabbath.
Paul W Puckett July 15 2011

Lev 23:16 Then after the seventh Sabbath, you shall count fifty days, when you shall present a new offering to the Ever-Living. Ferrar Fenton Translation Ellen White points out when the 3 Feasts (chags) of the year were; But three times a year seasons were appointed for social intercourse and worship. The journey to Jerusalem, in the simple, patriarchal style, took place amidst the beauty of the springtime, the richness of midsummer, or the ripened glory of autumn.
