Dear @nigelmarkdias,

What a בְּרָכָה (blessing) to meet mishpocha on steemit. I am a Jewish believer in Messiah Yeshua. I loved you detailed description and timely teaching about Shavout.

I would like to share something the Ruach revealed to me concerning this Mo'ed:

El Shaddai - אל שדי‎ is Hebrew for God Almighty. El is Hebrew for God and shaddai is Hebrew for Almighty. Shaddai comes from the root word shadad (shin dalet dalet) meaning to deal violently with, despoil, devastate, ruin, or destroy.

Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Acts 2:2

They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. Acts 2:3

I believe that the tongues of fire had to be separated flames and they formed a ש.

Shaddai also may be connected to shadayim, the Hebrew word for “breasts.” It may thus be connected to the notion of God's gifts of fertility to the human race. Several instances in the Torah the name is connected with fruitfulness: “May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers…” Genesis 28:3. “By the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts [shadayim] and of the womb [racham]” Genesis 49:25.

It is also interesting coincidence that Shavout is celebrated by eating dairy products.

I did a series three months ago entitled, REVEALING THE MYSTERIES OF THE BIBLE.

Following is the link to the introduction of the series. I am sure you will appreciate this post.
