The 7 weeks from Spring to Summer time:
7 weeks -Seven weeks is a period of time which takes place-counting from the 2nd day of Passover (Spring time), until the celebration of Shavout (pentecost) which falls in summer time.
7 weeks = 7 emotions:
The seven weeks are also equivalent to the 50 days when Israel was commanded to relate their seven emotions back to the God’s will via the Omer counting.
After the counting of seven weeks-50 days, or after the Omer counting, a celebration called “shavout” (pentecost) was held on the 50th day, according to
Leviticus 23:15-22 it is written;
And you shall count for yourself from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths (seven weeks) shall be completed.
Count 50 days:
Count 50 days to the day after the seventh Sabbath or seventh week, then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.
you shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two tenths of an ephah.
Omer counting:
During the period of seven weeks (omer counting), this is also when the spiritual presence which unfolds the mystery of the hebraic seven seals, and the seven spirits of God is revealed and also released into the earthly environment.
The period of seven weeks; counting from Passover (spring time) to Pentcost (summer time), is a procedure through which the seven spirits of God wriiten in In Isaiah 11:1-16 emerge into oneness with the seven emotions of a human soul.
And the climax of this season reaches it’s highest pitch on Shavout, being the day of Pentecost.
