Introduction

Pre-Pentecost
The Origin of Israels Religion
The world began with Adam and Eve. They worshipped
the true God until they fell in the Garden of Eden.
Obedience to Satan started a new religion called sons
of men. Sons of God included Abel, Seth and Enos.
Those who worshipped the true God are in Genesis
chapter five. Those that did not regard God are in
Genesis chapter six.
The flood expelled the ungodly and reserved those that
served God for a better world. Noah and his three sons
repopulated the earth. Origins of nations and their
religions are in Genesis 10 and 11. God chose Abram,
whose family was pagan. Separated from his pagan
background, God began to reveal to Abram a new faith.
Abram received a divine call. Separated from his
kindred, he was guided by God on a pilgrimage of great
blessings.
Promises and covenants made with Abram were
contingent on his obedience. Abram became the father
of a new religion that worshipped the one, true God
(Ge 5). God made Himself known to Abram as Almighty
God and promised him generations of kings. Through
Abram, Messianic prophecies would be promised and
fulfilled in latter years. Abrams father Terah was
idolatrous and served false gods (Jo 24:13-16). God
changed the name Abram to Abraham.

God promised and gave Abraham a son called Isaac.

Isaac married and gave birth to two sons, Jacob and
Esau. In keeping with the religion of Abraham, all sons
had to be circumcised as a seal of their religious
covenant between God and their families. Esau rejected
God but Jacob followed the faith of Abraham.
Jacob gained ascendancy in God and prevailed as a
godly man. His name was changed to Israel. Jacob,
blessed of God, challenged his wives to purge
themselves of all idols. All did except for Rachel. Rachel
died on the way while the rest returned to worship the
God of Abraham. The twelve sons of Jacob were not
godly but religious. Sometimes they used their religious
rites for their own personal vendettas. In the process
of time, the entire family ended up in Egypt because of
Joseph. The family of Israel lived in Goshen but did
not serve the God of Abraham. Only Joseph was an
exception to the rule of paganism in Egypt.
In the fullness of time, God revisited Israel as a nation
and brought them out of Egypt by Moses with signs and
wonders. Moses restored the faith of Abraham to the
nation of Israel in Egypt. The Journey from Egypt to
Mount Sinai would make Israel a distinct people with a
peculiar religion, having rites that separated them from
all other nations.
At the mount, the people were organized, given a
constitution and were provided a pattern for a peculiar
worship. God visited His people and gave to them laws,
testimonies, statutes, commandments, judgments,
ordinances, and doctrines to keep and observe. Israel
now had the true God, the proper manner of worship
7

and distinctiveness second to none. Worship included

festive seasons, constitutional obligations, dietary laws
and dress codes for all. God instituted divisions of labor,
worship ordinances, mediatorial relationship, sacrifices,
and oblations specifications.
The most sacred of times were the annual requirements
for all men to appear before the Lord three times
annually; no one was ever to come empty-handed, and
all were required to celebrate the festive seasons:
Passover feast which commemorated leaving Egypt
Pentecost feast which commemorated the giving of
the law
Tabernacle feast which commemorated Israels
wilderness experience
Israel did not observe Pentecost, and was inconsistent
in their observance of the feast of Passover and the
feast of Tabernacles. As a nation they were historically
unfaithful to the old covenants and festive rites.
