Pentecost DELAYED over 1900 YEARS
Did Jesus know that the fulfillment of Pentecost, the FEAST OF WEEKS, the Spring Harvest, was going to be delayed a LONG TIME after He fulfilled Passover?
See:
Mt 25:1-19;13:24-30;Lk 20:9;Acts 1:7

These scriptures suggest that Pentecost was NOT fulfilled in Acts 2.
Notice that the bridegroom was delayed and finally came at midnight, and the master was going away on a journey for "a long time". Pentecost definitely was not imminent because He told His apostles that it wasn't for them to know the times and seasons of His coming. Jesus also told them to wait until the harvest, implying a period of time to wait for the Spring Harvest on Pentecost, the Feast of First Fruits.
However, Jesus knew that the 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was beginning to be fulfilled by His ministry at that time, which would result in His death that would fulfill Passover on the First Day of that Feast. This is why He said the kingdom of God was at hand (Mk 1:15).
But He also knew that the last (7th) day of that Feast would not occur until a long time after His ascension into heaven. This is why He told His apostles that it wasn't for them to know the times and seasons (Acts 1:7). "Seasons" indicates a particular period of time, like Spring or Fall.
So the apostles did not know there was going to be a long period of time between the 2 holydays that start and end the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And therefore this means that the fulfillment of the FEAST OF WEEKS (Pentecost) would also be a long time off.
Notice that the 7 COMPLETE WEEKS that begin on the morrow after the sabbath during the Feast of Unleavened Bread matches the 7 COMPLETE DAYS that comprise that Feast. Furthermore, this also matches the 7 COMPLETE ERAS of the church as described in Revelation 2 and 3.
The number 7 is associated with the concept of COMPLETENESS as seen in the book of Genesis with all of creation accomplished in 7 days.
So are these TYPES of 7 DAYS, 7 WEEKS and 7 ERAS indicating that the time for training those called as "first fruits" will last over another 1900 years before it is COMPLETED?
Wouldn't that make sense if one is trying to collect people from each of these ERAS to be empathetic trainers of everyone resurrected on the Last Great Day (Holyday 7)?
So yes, Jesus knew that the fulfillment of Pentecost, the FEAST OF WEEKS, was going to be delayed a LONG TIME after He fulfilled Passover, because it would take over another 1900 years to train representatives from each of the 7 coming eras in God's plan to help convince everyone who ever lived that God's Way is the only Way for happiness for all for eternity. That plan called for generations of people for 6,000 years, and then more generations of people for another 1,000 years during the Millennium (Holyday 6).
The completion of this special training period of the first fruits as the Bride of Jesus will be triggered by the fulfillment of Holyday 2, which will then result in the gathering of these trainers (first fruits) to a place of final training and marriage to Jesus in fulfillment of Holyday 3 (the Feast of First Fruits).
