First Fruits? Or False Fruits
In “First Fruits? Or False Fruits?” we explain why the Wave Sheaf Offering should consist of the very first full sheaf of barley that comes ripe in the land of Israel. We also explain why Yahweh does NOT want us to bring Him a random sheaf of barley from the middle of the barley harvest as a First Fruits offering (Yom HaNafat HaOmer). Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be sure to keep the feasts at the right time.
The commandments of Yahweh your Elohim
Picture how would you feel if you were Yahweh, and you knew that there were some barley observers who were teaching the people that they should not bring the first fruits of barley to Yahweh, to give thanks for the crop. But rather, the people should just take some random sampling from the middle of the crop and pretend that it was the first fruits. What if there were some teachers that were telling the people to bring the mid-fruits, or the false fruits, rather than the first fruits? How would you feel?
Especially if you had told your people (Israel) repeatedly, again and again,
“I want you to be careful to do what I tell you to do. I do not want you adding things. I do not want you taking a bunch of things away. But I want you to take care to keep the commandments exactly how I tell you to do them. And there are reasons for this. And if you do not keep My commandments, you are keeping your own commandments.”
Devarim (Deuteronomy) 4:2
2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of Yahweh your Elohim which I command you.Devarim (Deuteronomy) 12:32
32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.
How would you feel? Well, we are going to talk about all these things and how they fit into the anti-Messiah’s calendar in this study. Stay tuned. This is information that affects you and your family.
Yahweh’s feasts, the Bridegroom Yeshua and His bride
In many of our studies, including Ancient Hebrew Wedding and The Torah Calendar, we show that Yahweh’s feasts are effectively dates between the Bridegroom Yeshua and His bride, Nazarene Israel. And when you have a date with the Son of the Creator of the universe, it pays to be there to meet the Bridegroom on time, doing what He says to do. To not show up is basically like standing Him up. It is not a real good way to indicate interest in the relationship. And to show up without doing the things that He says to do shows a real lack of respect, as well as a real lack of interest in keeping His Father’s words.
So, what are His Father’s words? What does His Father want us to do?
Rosh HaShanah, the moon, and aviv barley
As we saw in The Torah Calendar, His Father wants us to establish Rosh HaShanah (the head of the year) when two things happen. The priesthood is to declare Rosh HaShanah (the Hebrew New Year) when the first crescent sliver of the new moon is physically seen from the land of Israel, and at the same time, when we also know we are going to be able to bring Him the very first sheaf (the first fruits) of the aviv barley on the day of Yom HaNafat HaOmer (the Wave Sheaf Offering). And Yom HaNafat HaOmer must come 15 to 21 days after the new moon, on the first day of the week, following the Passover.
- Qualified witness that the first crescent sliver of the new moon is physically seen from the land of Israel
- Qualified witness that we are going to be able to bring Him the very first sheaf (the first fruits) of the aviv barley on the day of Yom HaNafat HaOmer (the Wave Sheaf Offering).
Note: Yom HaNafat HaOmer must come 15 to 21 days after the new moon, on the first day of the week, following the Passover.
