The Day of Pentecost 14th May 1606-2006. This timely book shows how God's hand has been upon Australia for the last 400 years and the significance of the number '400' throughout the Bible. The 14th May - the day of Pentecost 2006 - marks the 400 year anniversary of Australia being named 'Southland of the Holy Spirit'. 400 years was the time of silence between the Old and New Testaments - after these 400 years Jesus shatters the silence. In Acts 7:6-7 we see where God brought his people out from 400 years of bondage. It was 800 of our forefathers that were largely responsible for the liberation of Jerusalem from 400 years of Ottoman-Turkish Muslim rule. 800 is significant, 400 x 2. The day of Pentecost was the day of the double portion of the Holy Spirit to empower man and Israel became a nation on May 14th 1948.
