"We know that when Adonai delivered the Israelites from Egypt that it was a type of our redemption from sin. Moses said stand still and see the salvation (the Hebrew for salvation is Yeshuat from which we get Yeshua) of YHVH (Ex 14:13). Thus, it was Yeshua who
redeemed them at the Red Sea. When the Torah was given, the people had fallen into idolatry by making a golden calf and saying "These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt" (Ex 32:8b). Therefore, were they not rejecting their salvation (Yeshua) which occurred at the Red Sea? What happened when the Torah was given at Sinai? Three thousand people died at the giving of the Torah (the ministry of death, condemnation, the letter that kills, etc.) Note, the 3000 were sinners who had rejected Adonai’s salvation (Yeshua) stating that a calf had saved them. Fast forward to the day of Shavuot. How many people got saved? 3,000. Who were they? Three thousand sinners who, as Peter said, had killed the Messiah, i.e., they had rejected Adonai’s salvation (Yeshua) as their fathers had. But what happened to them? They got saved. These two scenarios are a perfect illustration of the ministry of condemnation at work against sinners when they come to Torah and a perfect illustration of the ministry of life by the Spirit who can bring life to the same sinners the Torah condemns. That’s why the Spirit was given on Shavuot, to teach us that the Torah was not meant to work alone. It’s always been Adonai’s intention for the Torah and the Spirit to work together. But the Spirit couldn't be poured out until the work of the Messiah had been finished."
