Baptism of the Holy Spirit Started

From a study of Leviticus 23 and Joshua 5 closely, Shavous is always on the same day of the week as the Feast of Firstfruits.  If Yeshua rose on Firstfruits and it was a 7th Day Sabbath, then Shavous that same year was a 7th Day Sabbath.

Acts 2:1-4

1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Shavous, or Pentecost, occurred on a 7th day Sabbath.  The Baptism of the Holy Spirit came or started on a Sabbath.

John 7:37-39,

37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Yeshua stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet glorified.)

Yeshua declared it on a Sabbath in John 7, and the gift came on a Sabbath day.
