Welcome to Shavu'ot / Pentecost - Festival of Weeks - this week's Prophetic reading

Habakkuk 3:1–19

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning erring ones:
2 YAHUVEH, I have heard Your report; I am afraid, YAHUVEH. Give new life to Your work in the midst of years, in the midst of years make known; in anger remember compassion.
3 Elohim comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His majesty covers the heavens, and His praise fills the earth. (Is 63:1)
4 And His brightness is as the light; rays from His hand are His, and there was a covering of His strength.
5 A plague goes before Him, and lightning went forth at His feet.
6 He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations; and the ancient mountains were shattered; the eternal hills bowed down. The goings of eternity are His. (Mic 5:2)
7 I saw the tents of Cushan under iniquity; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
8 Did YAHUVEH burn against rivers? Or was Your anger against the rivers? Or Your fury against the sea? For You ride on horses; Your chariots of YAHUSHUA.
9 You bare Your bow, naked according to the oaths of the tribes of Your Word. Selah. You have cut through the earth with rivers.
10 They saw You; mountains whirled. The storm of water gushed. The deep gave its voice and lifted up its hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their dwelling. At the light of Your arrows they go, at the shining of Your gleaming spear. (Jos 10:12-13)
12 You go into the land in fury. You thresh nations in anger.
13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for YAHUSHUA (Aleph/Tav) Your Messiah. You struck the head from the house of the wicked to bare the foundation to the neck. Selah.
14 You pierced the head of his warriors with his shafts. They rush to scatter me; their rejoicing is to devour the humble in a secret place.
15 You trod in the sea with Your horses, the surging of many waters.
16 I heard, and my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled within myself that I might rest for the day of distress; to come up against the peoples; he cuts him off.
17 Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the work of the olive fails, and the fields make no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,
18 yet I will exult in YAHUVEH; I will rejoice in the Elohim of YAHUSHUA.
19 YAHUVEH, Adonai is my might, and He sets my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer, on my stringed instruments.

Acts 2:1–47;

1 And in the fulfilling of the day of Shavuot, they were all with one mind in the same place.
2 And suddenly a sound came out of the heaven, as a groaning spirit along by a violent wind! And it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 And tongues as of fire appeared to them, being distributed, and it sat on each one of them.
4 And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave ability to them to speak.
5 And Jews were living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven.
6 And when that sound occurred, all the people gathered and were perplexed because they were hearing each man among them who were speaking in their own language.
7 And all were amazed and marveled, saying to one another, Behold, we can’t grasp this, are not all these, those speaking, Galileans?
8 And how do we hear each in our own language in which we were born,
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those living in Mesopotamia, both Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions of Libya over against Cyrene, and the temporarily residing Romans, both Jews and proselytes, 1
11 Cretans and Arabians; in our own languages we hear them speaking the great wonders of Elohim?
12 And all were amazed and puzzled, saying to one another, What could this be?
13 But ridiculing, others said, They are full of sweet wine.
14 But standing up with the eleven, Peter lifted up his voice and spoke out to them, Men, Jews, and all those living in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:
15 For these are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is that which has been spoken by the prophet Joel,
17 "And it shall be in the last days, YAHUVEH says, I will pour from My Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 And also I will pour out My Spirit on My servants and hand maids in those days, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
20 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the Coming of the great and glorious day of YAHUVEH.
21 And it shall be that everyone who shall call on the name of YAHUVEH will be saved." (Joel 2:28-32)
22 Men, Sons of Israel, hear these words: YAHUSHUA the Nazarene, a Man from Elohim, having been approved among you by works of power and wonders and miraculous signs, which Elohim did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know,
23 this man, who was set apart was for this, by the foreknowledge and will of Elohim, you delivered into the hands of the wicked and you crucified and killed.
24 But Elohim loosed the cords of Sheol and raised Him because it was not possible that He be held in Sheol.
25 For David said as to Him, "I always foresaw my Adonai before Me, because He is at My right hand, that I not be moved.
26 For this reason My heart rejoiced, and My tongue was glad; and My flesh also will dwell on hope,
27 because You will not leave My soul in Sheol, nor will You give Your righteous one to see corruption.
28 You have revealed the road of life to me. You will fill me with gladness with your presence. (Psa. 16:8-11)
29 Men, brothers, let me speak boldly with you to say to you as to the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us until this day.1
30 For he was a prophet, and he had known the oaths that Elohim had sworn to him, that of the fruit of your loins I shall establish a king upon your throne2. (Psa. 132:11, 2Sam 7:12)
31 Foreseeing, he spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, "That His soul was not left in sheol, nor did His corpse see corruption.3" (Psa. 16:10)
32 This YAHUSHUA, Elohim raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
33 Then being exalted to the right of YAHUVEH, and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you now see and hear. (Acts 7:55-56, Ro 8:34, Heb 1:3)
34 For David did not ascend into Heaven4, but he says, "YAHUVEH said to my Adonai, sit at My right hand
35 until I place those who are enemies to You as a footstool for Your feet." (Psa. 110:1)
36 Then assuredly, let all the house of Israel acknowledge that YAHUVEH made known this same YAHUSHUA whom you crucified, He is both YAHUVEH and Messiah.
37 And hearing, they were touched in the heart, and said to Simon Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men, our brothers, What shall we do?
38 And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized, each of you in the name of YAHUSHUA YAHUVEH for the forgiveness of sins, that you may receive the gift of the Spirit of Holiness. (Acts 22:16, Phil 2:11)
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Master our Elohim shall call.
40 And with many other words he earnestly testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this perverse generation.
41 And some of them readily received his words and believed and were baptized. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in prayers1.
43 And fear came to every soul, and signs and many mighty deeds occurred by the hands of the apostles in Jerusalem.
44 And all the believers were echad and had all things common.
45 And they sold possessions and goods and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
46 And continuing steadfastly with one mind day by day in the sanctuary2, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 they were praising YAHUVEH while finding favor before all the people. And everyday our Master would add to those who lived among the congregation.
