Season 10: The 50th Day
Meet the Biblical Cast of Season 10 (12)
Jesus Christ
The eternal Son of God and promised Messiah — who calmed the Galilean storm, washed His disciples' feet, bore our judgment on the cross, rose as Firstfruits, and returns on a white horse as King of Kings.
✦ Inspect Dossier
The High Priest of Israel
The consecrated Sanctuary mediator in Leviticus 23 who waved the single sheaf of Firstfruits barley on the morning after the Sabbath and, fifty days later at Pentecost, lifted the two leavened loaves before the LORD.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Mary Magdalene
Delivered by Jesus from seven demons, faithful witness at the cross, and first herald of the empty tomb at dawn on the Feast of Firstfruits.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Simon Peter
The Galilean fisherman who panicked in the storm, pulled back his feet in the Upper Room, and was transformed by the Pentecost fire to preach 3,000 souls into the Kingdom and open the door to the Gentiles.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Moses
The prophet and lawgiver who commanded the Passover blood on Egypt's doors, struck the Rock at Rephidim so rivers gushed for a rebellious camp, and ascended smoking Mount Sinai.
✦ Inspect Dossier
The People of Israel
The covenant nation delivered from Egypt — who drank from the smitten Rock at Rephidim, trembled before the fire of Sinai, reaped Canaan's first grain at Gilgal, and fell on their faces on Mount Carmel crying, 'The LORD, He is God!'
✦ Inspect Dossier
The 120 Believers in the Upper Room
The obedient company of men and women who waited together in prayer in Jerusalem until the 50th day (Pentecost) — when divided tongues as of fire rested upon each of them without consuming them.
✦ Inspect Dossier
The Temple Baker
The sanctuary steward in Leviticus 23:17 who obeyed God's astonishing command on the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) to knead yeast directly into the two fine-flour wave loaves — a 1,500-year-old prophecy of Jew and Gentile united in the Church.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Ruth the Moabite
The widowed Moabite outsider who clung to Naomi declaring 'Your people shall be my people, and your God my God,' gleaned in the margins of Bethlehem's harvest field, was redeemed by Boaz, and became great-grandmother to King David in the line of Christ.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Boaz of Bethlehem
Son of Salmon and Rahab, worthy lord of the harvest in Bethlehem, and Kinsman-Redeemer (Goel) who spread his garment over Ruth the Moabite, paid the price at the city gate, and fathered Obed in the Messianic line.
✦ Inspect Dossier
Naomi
The Bethlehemite mother-in-law of Ruth who went out to Moab full and returned home empty calling herself 'Mara' — until God used Ruth's loyalty and Boaz's redemption to place baby Obed in her arms.
✦ Inspect DossierCornelius the Centurion
God-fearing Roman centurion in Caesarea whose prayers and alms ascended before God — and upon whose Gentile household the Pentecost Holy Spirit fell while Peter was still preaching.
