Pastor John,
In a footnote in Chapter 7 of your Father and Son book, you mentioned the time period between Jesus’ ascension and the day of Pentecost. Exactly how many days were there between those two events?
Thanks,
Lyn

Hi Lyn,
According to research I did many years ago, the closest we can come to determining the exact number of days between Jesus’ ascension and Pentecost, using biblical information, is that there were from 7 to 10 days. However, since we know that the law was a pattern for the Son of God, 8 days seems to be it, for in Leviticus 8-9, when the Levitical priesthood was initiated, the high priest had to remain inside the tabernacle (for Jesus, heaven) for 7 days and began his ministry on the eighth day. For Jesus, that would have been the day of Pentecost. That is when Jesus’ heavenly ministry began.
