be a new lump, as ye are unleavened.
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and
wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity
and truth.

Lev 23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap
the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of
your harvest unto the priest:
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall
wave it.
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
The Jewish Sabbath is from Friday at 6:00pm to Saturday 6:00
pm
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
is within thy gates:
Lev 23:11 -The Feast of First Fruits took place on the “morrow after the
Sabbath.” (The first day of the week)
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
The standing ripe harvest, barley and wheat would soon be
reaped. A person would go to the standing harvest and take one
sheaf and bring it to the priest. The lone sheaf was called the
“sheaf of First Fruits.” The priest would then take the sheaf and
wave it before the Lord in his house. This was done on the
“morrow after the Sabbath” no one could eat of the bread or
roasted grain of the corn harvest until that sheaf had been
presented to the Lord and accepted for Israel
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
The law of first mention shows us Sheaves is the Bible represent
people.
Gen 37:5 Now Joseph had a dream and he told it to his brothers, and they hated
him still more.
Gen 37:6 And he said to them, Listen now and hear, I pray you, this dream that I
have dreamed:
Gen 37:7 We [brothers] were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf
arose and stood upright, and behold, your sheaves stood round about my sheaf
and bowed down!
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
Once the sheaf had been waved before the Lord and accepted
the whole harvest was now accepted by the Lord.

Although barley and wheat were both planted in the autumn,
barley matured faster and would be harvested sooner. The
firstfruits of grain offered during the Festival of Unleavened
Bread or First Fruits would have been barley.

he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were
set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

the Gentile harvest.
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
Jesus ascended into heaven “on the morrow after the Sabbath”
(Sunday) to present himself to the father as a sheaf of
Firstfruits of the Harvest to come of believers. So now all the
harvest of his field is accepted by the father.
Joh 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
Because Jesus was accepted by the Father all those who are
“In Christ” are also accepted by the Father.

Sheaf of First Fruits.
1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen
from the dead, and become the
firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co 15:21 For since by man came
death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made
alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his
own order: Christ the firstfruits;
afterward they that are Christ's at
his coming.
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
The Children of Israel could not celebrate the Feast of First Fruits until
they were come into the promised Land being led by Joshua or yeshoo'-aw-(Hebrew for Jesus ) This is a wonderful prophetic picture
One cannot enter into the fulfillment of this Feast until you follow the
Greater Joshua (Jesus) through the death of the Jordan river (symbolic
of baptism) and into the promised land of the New Birth &
circumcision of heart.
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
On First Fruits the priest would go down to the valley of matzos and
gather wild barley. He would carry the wild wheat to the temple, and
wave it in six directions, North, South, East, west, up and down, No
parched grain or anything could be eaten until after the waving. Right
after the wave offering took place, grain would begin to appear for sale
all over the marketplace in Jerusalem.
This is a perfect picture of what happened after Jesus arose
Mat 27:52 The tombs were opened and many bodies of the saints who
had fallen asleep in death were raised [to life];
Mat 27:53 And coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they
went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Exo 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and
see the salvation of the LORD, (yesh-oo'-aw-(Hebrew for Jesus)-
something saved, that is, (abstractly) deliverance; hence aid,
victory, prosperity: - deliverance, health, help (-ing), salvation,
save, saving (health), welfare.) , which he will show to you today:
for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no
more forever.

Mat 28:1 In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of
the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher.
Mat 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord
descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and
sat upon it.
Mat 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
Mat 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
Mat 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I
know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Mat 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where
the Lord lay.
The Resurrection was established on the first day of
the week (Sunday) not on the Sabbath (Saturday)
It was for this reason that early Christians moved away from the
keeping of the Sabbath to the keeping of the first day of the week.
Joh 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulcher.
Act 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on
the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
1Co 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by
him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings
when I come.
The Resurrection was established on the “Morrow
after the Sabbath.”
Lev 23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall
wave it.
The Lord’s day - The first day of the week, observed as the Christian
Sabbath, because on it Jesus Christ rose from the dead; therefore it
was called the Lord’s day, and has taken place of the Jewish Sabbath
throughout the Christian world.
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,
The Jewish nation was and is keeping a Christless Sabbath
There are Many Messianic Congregations of Jewish
believers in Jesus “yeshû‛âh” who keep the Traditional
Sabbath.
Paul tells us as believers we are free to esteem any day above another
unto the Lord. So the one who keeps the Jewish Sabbath is not wrong.
The one who keeps the First day of the week is not wrong ,but
traditionally Christians worship on “the Lords day.”
Rom 14:4 (AMP) Who are you to pass judgment on and censure another's
household servant? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he
shall stand and be upheld, for the Master (the Lord) is mighty to support him and
make him stand.
Rom 14:5 One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man
esteems all days alike [sacred]. Let everyone be fully convinced (satisfied) in
his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. He also
who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God; while he who
abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God.
The First Fruits belong exclusively unto the Lord
It is the Fathers will that Jesus have the pre-eminence in all things
He is the Firstborn of Mary Matt 1:23-25
Mat 1:25 But he had no union with her as her husband until she had borne her
firstborn Son; and he called His name Jesus.
He is the First begotton of the Father Heb 1:6
Heb 1:6 Moreover, when He brings the firstborn Son again into the habitable world,
He says, Let all the angels of God worship Him.
He is the Firstborn of the Dead
Col 1:18 He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the
Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect
might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].
He is the Firstbegotton of the Dead
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of
the dead [first to be brought back to life] and the Prince (Ruler) of the kings of the earth.
To Him Who ever loves us and has once [for all] loosed and freed us from our sins by
His own blood, [Ps. 89:27.]
He is the Firstborn of Many Brethren Rom 8:29
Rom 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved
beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into
the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the
firstborn among many brethren.
He is the Firstfruit of the Resurrected Ones 1 Corith 15:20
1Co 15:20 But the fact is that Christ (the Messiah) has been raised from the dead, and
He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
Jesus so Identified with us that he took all of our sins on himself and
died both Physically and Spiritually on the cross.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Heb 2:14 Since, therefore, [these
His] children share in flesh and
blood [in the physical nature of
human beings], He [Himself] in a
similar manner partook of the same
[nature], that by [going through]
death He might bring to nought and
make of no effect him who had the
power of death--that is, the devil--
FEAST OF FIRSTFRUITS
Jesus is the first of the new creation man
1Co 15:23 But each in his own rank and turn: Christ (the Messiah) [is] the
firstfruits, then those who are Christ's [own will be resurrected] at His coming.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a
new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual
condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
