Preparing for Shavuot

As the 4th mo’edim of the 7 listed in Leviticus 23, it forms the center shaft of the Feast cycle Menorah! When looking at the feasts through the lens of the Menorah, the feasts on either side form the other 6 branches, indicating that what happens prior to Shavuot and what happens afterwards is upheld and supported by this center shaft – Shavuot! In other words, to truly understand my deliverance & redemption at Passover, & the purpose of cleaning our houses (hearts), being resurrected or transformed into a new creation, all of this is being upheld and transpiring to lead to this encounter of Shavuot. And on the other end of the spectrum – the crowning of the King (Yom Teruah), the union (Yom Kippur) & wedding feast (Sukkot) are all fruit born from what takes place at Shavuot!
