The time of entering into a covenant with the House of Israel on Mount Sinai
In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day (on the day of Unleavened bread, when they went out), they came to from Egypt) he Wilderness of Sinai. For they had departed from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before the mountain. And Moses went up to YHWH, and YHWH called to him from the mountain.
Then YHWH said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day YHWH will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.”
Ex.19:1; Ex.19:10
FULFILLED PROPHECIES
The prophetic significance of Messiah – as in the times of the covenant renewal. The day which YHWH renewed the covenant again with the nation of Israel, and poured out the Holy Spirit on the earth
And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
Behold, the days are coming, says YHWH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah – not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says YHWH. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says YHWH: I will put My law (Torah) in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their YHWH, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, “Know YHWH,” for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says YHWH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.
For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.
If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you.
The festival of Shavu’ot arrived, and the believers all gathered together in one place. Suddenly there came a sound from the sky like the roar of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each one of them. They were all filled with the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and began to talk in different languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak.
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name (to represent Me and act on My behalf), he will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
But when the Helper (Comforter) comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of Me.

THE FOLLOWING EVENTS HAPPENED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME
The time when YHWH Elohim entered into a covenant with Noah and establish a bow (קֶשֶׁת) as a sign of this covenant
And on the new moon of the third month he went forth from the ark, and built an altar on that mountain. And he (Noah) made atonement for the earth, and took a kid and made atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the earth […] And YHWH smelt the goodly savour, and He made a covenant with him that there should not be any more a flood to destroy the earth […] He set His bow (קֶשֶׁת) in the cloud for a sign of the eternal covenant that there should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth. For this reason it is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets, that they should celebrate the Feast of Weeks in this month once a year, to renew the covenant every year[…] “And do thou command the children of Israel to observe this festival in all their generations for a commandment unto them: one day in the year in this month they shall celebrate the festival. For it is the Feast of Weeks and the feast of first harvest (fruits): this feast is twofold and of a double nature: according to what is written and engraven concerning it, celebrate it. For I have written in the book of the first law, in that which I have written for thee, that thou shouldst celebrate it in its season, one day in the year, and I explained to thee its sacrifices that the children of Israel should remember and should celebrate it throughout their generations in this month, one day in every year.”

The time when YHWH entered into a covenant with Abraham
In the fourth year of this week, on the new moon of the third month, the word of YHWH came to Abram in a dream, saying: “Fear not, Abram; I am thy defender, and thy reward will be exceeding great”. And he said: “ YHWH, YHWH, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go hence childless, and the son of Maseq, the son of my handmaid, is the Dammasek Eliezer: he will be my heir, and to me thou hast given no seed». And he said unto him: “This (man) will not be thy heir, but one that will come out of thine own bowels; he will be thine heir”. And He brought him forth abroad, and said unto him: “Look toward heaven and number the stars if thou art able to number them”. And he looked toward heaven, and beheld the stars. And He said unto him: “So shall thy seed be”. And he believed in YHWH, and it was counted to him for righteousness […] And he said: “YHWH, YHWH, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?” And He said unto him: “Take Me an heifer of three years, and a goat of three years, and a sheep of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a pigeon”. And he took all these in the middle of the month […] And he awoke from his sleep, and he arose, and the sun had set; and there was a flame, and behold! A furnace was smoking, and a flame of fire passed between the pieces. And on that day YHWH made a covenant with Abram […] And on that day we made a covenant with Abram, according as we had covenanted with Noah in this month; and Abram renewed the Festival and ordinance for himself for ever. And Abram rejoiced, and made all these things known to Sarah his wife.

The time when YHWH changed Abram’s name into Abraham. The day when Abraham got circumcised and circumcised all those who were born in his house – as a sign of the covenant
In the third month, in the middle of the month, Abram celebrated the feast of the first-fruits of the grain harvest (Shavuot). And he offered new offerings on the altar, the first-fruits of the produce, unto YHWH, an heifer and a goat and a sheep on the altar as a burnt sacrifice unto YHWH; their fruit offerings and their drink offerings he offered upon the altar with frankincense. And YHWH appeared to Abram, and said unto him: “I am YHWH Almighty; approve thyself before me and be thou perfect. And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly”. And Abram fell on his face, and YHWH talked with him, and said: “Behold my ordinance is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name from henceforth, even for ever, shall be Abraham. For the father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee very great, and I will make thee into nations, and kings shall come forth from thee. And I shall establish My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant, so that I may be a YHWH unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land where thou hast been a sojourner, the land of Canaan, that thou mayst possess it for ever, and I will be their YHWH”. And YHWH said unto Abraham: “And as for thee, do thou keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee: and circumcise ye every male among you, and circumcise your foreskins, and it shall be a token of an eternal covenant between Me and you. And the child on the eighth day ye shall circumcise, every male throughout your generations, him that is born in the house, or whom ye have bought with money from any stranger, whom ye have acquired who is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house shall surely be circumcised, and those whom thou hast bought with money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an eternal ordinance”. […] And on the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and all the men of his house, (and those born in the house), and all those, whom he had bought with money from the children of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

The time when Abraham blessed Jacob before his death
And it came to pass in the first week in the forty-fourth jubilee, in the second year, that is, the year in which Abraham died, that Isaac and Ishmael came from the Well of the Oath to celebrate the Feast of Weeks – that is, the Feast of the first fruits of the harvest – to Abraham, their father, and Abraham rejoiced because his two sons had come […] And he called Jacob and said: “My son Jacob, may YHWH of all bless thee and strengthen thee to do righteousness, and His will before Him, and may He choose thee and thy seed that ye may become a people for His inheritance according to His will alway. And do thou, my son, Jacob, draw near and kiss me”. And he drew near and kissed him […] And the two lay together on one bed, and Jacob slept in the bosom of Abraham, his father’s father and he kissed him seven times, and his affection and his heart rejoiced over him. And he blessed him with all his heart […] And he placed two fingers of Jacob on his eyes, and he blessed YHWH, and he covered his face and stretched out his feet and slept the sleep of eternity, and was gathered to his fathers. And notwithstanding all this Jacob was lying in his bosom, and knew not that Abraham, his father’s father, was dead. And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and behold Abraham was cold as ice, and he said “Father, father”; but there was none that spake, and he knew that he was dead. And he arose from his bosom and ran and told Rebecca, his mother.
