CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S MIDDAY BROADCAST: Bob Barney: The Plain Truth about Pentecost – Part 1

Hello, this is Bob Barney for The Plain Truth Today, brought to you by theplaintruth.com. And you can also go to theplaintruthtoday.com for the broadcast directly without going through The Plain Truth, but it’s always best to go through theplaintruth.com because from there you can go to these broadcasts. You can go to Your Health Today to see what is good health news, what’s good for your body, what’s good for your family when it comes to your health and diseases and medicines and things like that, as well as there’s the main page of the front page, which gives you the news of the day, as well as the Message Board. 

2:30 I don’t ever underestimate the content of the Message Board. It has content going back all the way to 2008. It has a very good search engine, and you can search about any topic and find out what is going on or what happened in the past. And we try to pool like stories together on the message board. For example, anything to do with President Obama, we have the Obama file number one, number two, number three, I believe. So you put in Obama and you will see four or five major post headings about Obama. When you click to it, there’s maybe a hundred stories under each one. So we merged all the Obama stories as president or even after president there. Same thing with the Clinton file, the same thing with the Trump 2017, Trump 2020, Trump 2024, stuff like that. So it’s easy to find the history of a subject.

4:00 For example, we have a subject called plane crashes, and it has all the different plane crashes since we started The Plain Truth. It’s railroad crashes, train accidents, stuff like that. And we try to do it in a way that you can see a progression of a story. Like, for example, the January 6th fiasco, the absolute lawfare against anybody who peacefully demonstrated in Washington DC on January 6th that were arrested and their civil rights were taken away, their constitutional rights were taken away. Well, we have every story concerning that, all the court decisions about that, all of the penalties about that, all in one heading statement. So you can start with January 7th, probably we have the first one, and go all the way down right to the present day and see every update to that article’s subject. And that’s on the Message Board. So from theplaintruth.com, you get to all of this stuff, including these broadcasts.

5:23 Today, we’re going to talk about a subject coming in the next few days or a week or so on May 29th, which also happens to be my birthday, is when the Feast of Pentecost takes place. Now, that is the one holiday that is found in the Old Testament and the New Testament that the modern false Christian churches still celebrate. They still celebrate a Pentecost in all of the Christian churches, the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Greek Church, and most of the Protestant churches. However, they always have it on a Sunday due to a misreading of the Bible. The idea that Pentecost must always fall on a Sunday, something that even the Armstrongs tried to teach, kind of gives credence to the idea that because Pentecost, a New Testament holiday for the birth of the New Testament Church, is what we’ll talk about, always falls on Sunday. It gives credence that the Sunday replaced Saturday for the Sabbath.

Does that not make sense?

7:01 Well, it does make sense that if you think that Pentecost always falls on a Sunday, that the Holy Spirit happened on a Sunday only, then you have to come to the conclusion, as the Catholic Church tries to point out to you, that Pentecost is a proof that the Sabbath day was turned into the Sunday, which just happened to be a pagan day of worship of the sun, for pity’s sakes, and it’s not the case. 

When you read the entire subject matter in the Old Testament, how to find Pentecost, and that’s the Greek word for the Feast of Weeks, 50th. Pentecost just means the 50th day from first fruits, when you start counting the 50 days to the day of Pentecost. And what I think most people don’t understand is you count out 50 days. But it also has one statement that it will be seven Sabbaths, and yes, in every 50 days there has to be seven Sabbaths, and there are. But you actually count out 50 days, and the Greek version of the Bible puts it really clear by calling it Pentecost instead of the Feast of Weeks, because Pentecost means 50th.So if you take the day of first fruits, which happens the day after the last day of Passover, the 22nd of the first month, and you add 50 days to it, you come to what is on our calendar, May 29th, and it will be May 29th every year. And it can be on a Monday, it can be on a Wednesday, it can be on a Sabbath day, and it can be on a Sunday. And there is no clue at all that the Bible tells you, or there is actually, but the idea that Pentecost falls on a Sunday is just not biblical. It’s what the false Christian churches want to promote in order to promote their idea, which is false, that Pentecost falls on a Sunday, trying to make Sunday a permanent day of worship every year, if not every Sunday. And that’s what it means.

8:25 So what is Pentecost, Old Testament, New Testament, and the future? So to understand the holiday of Pentecost, let’s go back and also realize that God gave us certain holidays that we are to observe, and every single one of these so-called Old Testament Jewish, and there’s nothing Jewish about them, they’re Israeli holidays, and all Israelites are not Jews, but all Jews are Israelites, or only one nation of 13. And the United States of America, England, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Scandinavia, these are all different tribes of the Lost Tribes of Israel. And so the Jews are only one of 13 tribes. And when you think of that number 13, one of the sons of Joseph, who was the 12th tribe, was broken into two tribes, where the 12 tribes became 13, and the younger of the two, which was prophesied to be the greatest nation to ever grace the face of the earth, the United States of America, that it would be the 13th tribe of Israel. Now think about the number 13 and what it means to America, and do you not see a correlation to what the Bible talks about the 13th tribe being Ephraim as the owner of the name of the word Israel? Jews don’t owe that name. Whoever the tribe of Joseph was owns the name Israel, because Jacob, who was renamed Israel, simply said to Joseph’s two sons, I adopt these sons as mine and let my name Israel be on these two sons, meaning they have the right to the name Israel, the Jews do not, even though they are members of Israel. For example, when you read in your own Bible, when it talks about the two kingdoms, the kingdom of the north, after Solomon’s death, the kingdom broke into two, Israel became two separate nations.

That’s in your Bible, and when you read it, you will see that the northern kingdoms that became lost was called Israel, and the kingdoms where the Jews stayed, Jerusalem in the south, became called Judah. Judah, not Israel, not Israel light or Israel south, north Israel and south Israel. No, it was called Judah, meaning the Jews, but the northern tribes were called Israel, because that’s where Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh were located. So wherever they go becomes Israel. Israel belongs to the tribe of Joseph, the Jews have no right to the name of Israel.

10:23 Do you know in 1949, when the Jewish nation of Israel was reborn, and by the United Nations in the United States recognized it, that very conservative Orthodox Jews protested the name Israel, they wanted the land to be called Judah, because they knew the right name of their nation, because it was only a Jewish nation and not a true Israelite nation. Do you also know, in all of the prophecies of your Bible that you can go into in the Old Testament, you will always see that during the millennium, or at the beginning of the millennium, the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ, by the way, will take two sticks, two separate sticks, one of the sticks is named Israel, and the other stick is named Judah, and he will put them together, graft them together, and they will become one stick again, meaning one tribe of Israel, or one nation of Israel of the 13 tribes. But that does not happen until the millennium. And I got news for you, 1949 did not start the millennium.

12:41 If you understand the Bible and you let the Bible interpret itself, you understand that the name Israel belongs to wherever Joseph is, and the name Judah belongs to the nation where the Jews are. So modern state of Israel should be called, and I refer to it many times, as the new nation of Judah, because that’s exactly what it is. So these holidays are not Jewish holidays. They are holidays that belong to Israel, and by adoption, by the way, any Christian becomes a child of Israel, a child of Abraham, who is the forefather of Jacob, who becomes Israel. And so God wants us to follow these Old Testament, what we call Old Testament holidays, because by doing so, you understand the plan of God. You cannot understand the plan of God when you follow Christmas, a pagan holiday, or Easter, named after the pagan god Astarte.

You cannot find anything in Halloween that has to do with Jesus Christ, or Sunday worship for that matter. But you do find, when you follow these Old Testament holidays, you do find the plan of God, the plan of Jesus Christ, the revealing of Jesus Christ as both the Lord of the Old Testament, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and Jacob, and of David, and that he would become the Savior himself. In Isaiah, it says, for example, I could not find no Savior but myself. The Lord God of the Old Testament predicts that he would become the Savior. People don’t realize this. So many people read the Bible and gloss over so many things that they just fail to recognize who Jesus Christ really was.

14:45 To this day, I think if you were to ask the average Christian, they would not know that the God who created Adam and Eve, the God who talked to them, the God who caused the flood and talked to Noah, the God of Abraham, his best friend who came and had lunch with him under a palm tree in the desert, the God of David, the Lord of David, and the God of the Old Testament who wrote the Bible, or the Old Testament scriptures, and wrote the Ten Commandments, with his own finger on the Day of Pentecost, that that being, that God, became the human Jesus Christ born of a woman whose father was God, the Holy Spirit from God the Father and God the Son. There are two members presently of the Godhead. Jesus Christ is one of them.He’s called the Word of God. He’s the spokesman of the Godhead, and God the Father, who is the almighty power of the Godhead, the power base. So it’s two into one. It’s not a trinity. The trinity is, again, a pagan concept trying to make the devil the third power of the Godhead, because that’s really what it represents. God is two beings comprised of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a third God. The Holy Spirit is what those two are made out of. You and I are made out of flesh and blood. Jesus and the Father are made out of Holy Spirit. It’s that simple. There’s two of them. There’s male and female with us. We are an image of God in our creation.

So going to the, what does Pentecost mean?

16:23 Well, Pentecost is the birth of the church in the New Testament. I’ll read that in a minute. But in the Old Testament, the pre-runner was when the people of Israel escaped Egypt. They actually were thrown out after all the plagues of Moses that God caused, Jesus Christ being that God. And they went through the Red Sea. It parted for them, and they went in the middle of the Red Sea, which symbolizes a baptism, by the way, of forgiveness of sin. And then they came out on the other side, and they went to Mount Sinai, which if you read the plain truth, you will see lately, and we’ve had this for many years, Mount Sinai is not where the modern-day Christians and Jews claim that it is. It is actually in Saudi Arabia, and it’s very easily proven. And you can see pictures of it right now. If you go to the message board, we have pictures. You just put in the real Mount Sinai or something in the search or just Mount Sinai in the search, and you’ll find all the concerning where Mount Sinai biblically is located. Do you know that the apostle Paul wrote that Mount Sinai was in Arabia? Yet people still want to think it was in the Sinai Peninsula, which it was not. The Sinai Peninsula is misnamed. Isn’t that funny? But going back to the original rendition of Pentecost, it was when the people assembled at Mount Sinai, Moses went up to the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights, did not eat or drink anything, a miracle in itself that you could do that, God must have made that happen, because you and I would not survive 40 days without water. We might be able to survive 40 days without food, but no one could survive 40 days without water, without God’s inspirational help. But it says he did it.

18:21 And on the day of Pentecost, which is coming on May 29th, we know it happened May 29th, what year, I don’t know, that God wrote the 10 commandments and gave them to Moses. And he wrote them according to your Bible with his finger on the rock. And that is the 10 commandments. Now we go forward some 2000 years and we get to the day of Pentecost. I’m going to read this for a second here. And we get to the day of Pentecost after Christ is crucified and he comes back to life. And 40 days later, after coming back to life, he returns back and leaves the disciples looking at him as he re-enters heaven for the final time. And then 10 days after that comes Pentecost. Now, this is Acts chapter two, and I’m reading out of the New King James Version, not out of the Bible that I put together, the plain truth Bible, which you can get on Amazon, by the way, but chapter two. Now, when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all in one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven of a rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared divided, I’m sorry, then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire. One sat upon another. The Holy Spirit is coming down and it looked like flames coming from heaven. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to do so. The word speaking in tongues in the King James Version simply means they could speak in other languages. Now there was a dwelling in Jerusalem, Jews, devout men of every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and were confused because everyone heard them speak in their own language, their own tongue.

That’s all it means. Then they were all amazed and marveled and said, look, are these men not Galileans? How is it that they are speaking in our particular language, being from Galilee? What they’re saying is it would be like you never learning Greek, for example. You don’t know one word in Greek. And yet with the under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you start talking to a group of Greeks and all of a sudden you’re speaking in English, but they’re hearing you in Greek. It’s a miracle from God. That’s what the speaking of tongues that people so misrepresent in these Pentecostal churches really mean, that you spoke in your native language, but they could hear automatically translated to their brain and their own native language. But Peter, this is going down to verse 14, but Peter standing up with the 11 raised his voice and said to the men of Judea, all of these, all who dwell in Jerusalem, let it be known to you and to heed my words for these men are not drunk. What they had said earlier, these guys are babbling. They have to be drunk. And he’s showing you about the early church. People drank wine, by the way, not grape juice. And he goes, these people are not drunk for it’s only the third hour of the day, meaning that 9am in the morning, nobody gets drunk at 9am in the morning, at least not us Christians. But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel, and it shall come to pass. He’s reading Old Testament scripture now. In the last days says God that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. Your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams. And on my men servants and on my maid servants, I will pour out my spirit in those days and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heavens above and the signs in the earth below, blood and fire and vapor and smoke. The sun shall be darkened into, turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and notable day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

21:50 This is a New Testament reading, the Old Testament prophecy of a future time of the millennial, when everything of God’s plan is finalized, except for the last great day, when God, after a thousand years, the father, God, the father, that comes to a new heaven and a new earth comes down and lives among mankind. During the millennium, only Christ, the one God, part of the Godhead, is reigning on this earth where God the father is still in heaven. But at the end of the thousand years, you can read this, it’s not my interpretation, you just read this word for word in the New Testament in Revelation, that God the father will come to a new earth that is created and dwell with all mankind, some being still in the flesh and Christians being in the spirit, meaning they will be born again from their death, not as a human physical form, but they will be born of spirit and they will literally become gods. They will become the children of God the father and Jesus Christ. They will be, we will be, I won’t say they, I’m hoping it’s us, I’m hoping it’s you and I, will become gods. We will become literally the brother of Jesus and the son of God or the daughters of God, and we will be like them. We will be as they are, we will have their power, and we will be immortal. Because right now, contrary again to what many people believe, there is no immortality of the human body, of the human spirit. We are not immortal, and neither are the angels. Angels can be destroyed, and the Bible suggests that even Satan the devil will be destroyed at a future date. Only God has immortality. That’s what the Bible says. Only God, Jesus Christ and the father have immorality, immortality. I’m sorry about that. And when we are born again, we will be immortal.

It’s right in the 15th chapter of Corinthians, 1st Corinthians, if you want to check me out and see that I’m 100% accurate what I’m saying.

23:45 There is no such thing as an immortal soul anywhere in the Bible. That’s Greek mythology, Greek teaching, nothing to do with God the father, Jesus Christ, the word of God. So on the day of Pentecost, it becomes the day that the Ten Commandments was given to the church, and that’s the church of Israel. And on the day of Pentecost in the New Testament, same exact day, the Ten Commandments now, this is an important concept, the Ten Commandments now are no longer written on stone. They’re written in your heart. They have been changed from stone to spirit. And we all get, when we become Christians and all these people on May 29th of 30 AD, we know the date because we know when Christ was crucified, it was 30 AD, not 33, as many people assume inaccurately, that the Holy Spirit was given to every person in the church on that day. And it fell on them, and it looked like flames of fire. And that is when the Ten Commandments went from being carved on stone to carved in our hearts. And you can find that prophecy in the Old Testament. I will put my laws in their minds and in their hearts, and they will know them. Meaning once you have that, that’s why Paul says you’re no longer under the law, because you are part of the law. It’s a part of you now. It’s no longer written on stone. Once you become a Christian and get the Holy Spirit, the law is within you. You know when you’re breaking the law then. You know, you feel it. You don’t read it that you said, oh, I read this and I know I did wrong. It is guilt. The law inside of you, if you break it because you’re still human and every human still sins, it festers guilt because it’s inside of you.

25:01 God took his Ten Commandments on the day of Pentecost in some 18 BC, 100 BC, or whatever it was, and put it in stone. And in 30 AD, he took that Ten Commandments and put it in our hearts. And that becomes, we are now the literal, physical life of the Ten Commandments. And we’re no longer on, it’s no longer on stone. It’s in our hearts. And we know i We live it. We imbibe it. And we feel it. That’s what it means to have the Holy Spirit within you. And that’s how you can tell that you really have the Holy Spirit. Many people think they have the Holy Spirit and do not. And many people think they’ve been born again and they’re still humans. And you can just go, we had a story, a subject about this a few weeks ago. You just go to the third chapter of John, the very famous, you know, John 3:16. When you really read the whole thing, you understand that the people who do not accept Jesus Christ, do not have mortal life in hell, they perish. Like when your apples perish, they disintegrate. They’re no longer there, but have eternal life. But, meaning opposite of perishing is you can gain immortality. That’s what it means, John 3.16. Everybody puts it up on a football flag somewhere at a stadium, but nobody understands what they’re even trying to display. They don’t understand the words, what it really means. The wonderful words that we are to become immortal gods when we are resurrected from the dead.

26:21 The law returns, the temple returns, the sacrifices return, the holy days you find in the Old Testament returns, because they never have been abolished. What we are living in now is the same thing that the ancient Israelites lived in after they left Egypt. And it’s explained in the first chapter, or second chapter of Joshua, when it says no one who left Egypt, that was born after leaving Egypt, was circumcised, because only those living in Egypt were circumcised. So for the 40 years of wandering, they were not circumcised, meaning they could not follow the Passover, and they were only under the Ten Commandments, not the entire law of Moses. And that is what we are since the year 30 AD. That’s what the Apostle Paul’s teaching us, that we are like in a special time warp, like the ancient Israelites were before crossing over into the promised land. Before they could cross over the River Jordan, they had to be circumcised, and then they could follow their first Passover. But they could not do so until they were circumcised. They started following the law, the law in stone at the time. Then they passed over the Jordan River, which is passing over from death to life, from mortal to immortal, into the promised land, which represents heaven on earth, when born-again people now are gods. This is the symbolism of that crossing over Jordan. And then the law is returning, the temple worship returns, everything returns to what was written in the book of Exodus. So when Christ returns, then everyone who is a Christian today will become, if they’re alive, immortal. And the dead will rise in Christ, immortal. And the temple is there, and it will go back to temple worship, it will go back to sacrifices, it will go back to everything. Not to forgive sin, by the way. These sacrifices in the future, it’s like when we follow the Fourth of July.

28:01 We’re not doing so because we’re fighting for independence anymore. We are remembering what Independence Day means. So in the Millennium, when they’re sacrificing sheep and goats on the temple, which you read in the book of Ezekiel, and it says it’s the Millennium, if you want to cut through the mustard, and you see the sacrifices take place again, Passover is reinstituted, and all of this stuff happens again. It’s just like after the Israelites, after 40 years of not having to follow Mosaic law, went over the Jordan River, went from death to life, and started following Mosaic law again. And the people that are alive that were not turned into immortal spirit, into gods, will be still humans, and they will be under the same rules and regulations that the people were of Israel under Mosaic law. And when you understand that concept, you understand what the apostle Paul was trying to tell Christians. You are not under the law. It’s a part of you. The people who are under the law do not understand it, so therefore they’re under it. The people of Israel did not have the Holy Spirit, so they did not understand it. They were ignorant to the law, and so they had to read it constantly. They had to put it on their body to read it. So the minute they’re getting ready to have sex with somebody else’s wife, and they look at their thing on their wrist that says, thou shall not commit adultery, that’s why they had to wear the law on their forehead. They had to wear it on their arms, because it was not within them. It was on the outside, and they had to wear it to remind them. We don’t need to be reminded by the Ten Commandments on our fingers, or on our wrist, or on our forehead. We don’t have to. I mean, I have a Ten Commandment bracelet for memorial purposes, maybe. But we don’t need it to remind us of the law because the law is within us because we have theHoly Spirit.

Well, I have run out of time, I may do one more show on this topic because there still is more to say.

30:00 This is Bob Barney saying thank you for listening, I really do enjoy your company each day, until next time, Bob Barney saying, thank you and bye bye.
