Pentecost is the third Holy Day feast of the Lord's seven commanded annual feasts.
The three spring season Holy Day observances were fulfilled in Christ, beginning with His murder on the Passover that year. The illuminating Light of Christ then opened understanding of the Scriptures, the Bread of Life, in these last days as prophesied in Daniel 12.
"...Go thy way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." (Dan.12:9-10)
This understanding of the closed and sealed Word of God, The Bible, is fulfilled in the Days of Unleavened Bread, the second commanded annual seven day observance following Passover, which depicts a lifetime of ingesting God's food, Bread, for the spirit following conversion and acceptance of Jesus' blood, which Jesus illuminates and reveals to all who are His, beginning with His disciples:
"...Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." (Luke 24:45)
Pentecost, the third commanded annual spring observance is fulfilled through the obedience of the disciples on that day... doing as Christ commanded them.
"... tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." (Luke 24:49)
If they had not "tarried in Jerusalem" as Jesus commanded them, but instead, returned to Galilee where they lived and worked - THEY WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT which came upon them that day in Jerusalem... and it would not have become available to all man as a result of the work they performed from that time forward.
"...being assembled together with them, (Jesus) commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith He, ye have heard of Me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence." (Acts 1:4-5)
These three prophetic Holy Day observances were fulfilled ON THE VERY DAYS that they fell on the calendar that year. Pentecost is significant because of the disciples' obedience to the commandment. They were where they were commanded to be on the day they were commanded to be there... and they received God's "POWER" from the Father... the Holy Spirit.
Because of their faith and works, the Holy Spirit is available to men today... as opposed to having the good news of the Kingdom being cut off by their absence had they failed to obey the commandment.
And, because of their faith and works, man may continue to look forward in Hope to the fulfillment of the last four prophetic FALL Holy Day feasts - beginning with the Feast of Trumpets (the return of Jesus Christ to the earth "at the last trump").
Unknown to most men... God has a plan for man's salvation and the restoration of His Kingdom on the earth, which Satan perverted in the beginning. And His seven annual Holy Day observances reveal that plan to those with the eyes to see.
The spring "harvest"... the "small early harvest" of the Lord, which is the calling and training of His faithful and obedient first-generation of children who shall co-rule the Kingdom with Christ... will continue to be planted and nurtured and harvested until the number of them whom the Father needs to fill all the Kingdom positions and offices (mansions) is achieved. Then He will send Jesus Christ and His angelic army back to earth to establish His Kingdom.
It continues because Christ's faithful and obedient disciples obeyed Him and tarried in Jerusalem for Pentecost as He commanded.
