…..Firstfruits don’t “rise” – they are “presented”

Tonight is new 16th of Nisan/Abib.

Yom haBikkurium aka First Fruits/Grain Offering always fixes on 16th of Nisan/Abib same time Counting of the Omer (Sefirat haOmer).

After Chag haMatzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread) is High Shabbat ”High Holy Day” means day of rest no work allowed ends at sunset tonight according Leviticus 23:15 CJB

“‘From the day after the day of rest — that is, from the day you bring the sheaf for waving — you are to count seven full weeks,

Yom HaBikkurim (Firstfruits) same time Sefirat haOmer (Counting of the Omer for 49 days toward Shavuot aka Pentecost/Festival of the Weeks is High Shabbat (High Holy Day) occurs on 50th day. Interesting some says Yom HaChamishim (literally, “the Fiftieth Day”).

Shavuah ”week” is singular. Shauvot ”weeks” are plural.

Shavuot is celebrated seven weeks—a week of weeks!—after the first barley harvest* according Ruth 2:23 NLT:

So Ruth worked alongside the women in Boaz’s fields and gathered grain with them until the end of the barley harvest. Then she continued working with them through the wheat harvest [Shavuot] in early summer. And all the while she lived with her mother-in-law.

Again we see above ….my view elaborates

….the barley harvest means after Pesach, Chag haMatzah aka 15th of Nisan is High Shabbat ends at sunset, 15th becomes new 16th of Nisan always fixed on Yom haBikkurium same time Sefirat haOmer begins). Wheat harvest applies Shavuot. Hope this helps.

16th of Nisan is always fixed on barley harvest field using the tool of above picture called a scythe:

A sickle has an almost circular blade and a short handle—it’s designed to be held with one hand. A scythe has a long, slightly curved blade that’s attached to a long pole, often with two handles attached—it’s designed to be held with two hands.

Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) commemorates the revelation of the Torah on Mt. Sinai to the Jewish people, and occurs on the 50th day after the 49 days of Sefirat haOmer (Counting of the Omer).

Counting of the Omer 2022 will begin in the evening of Saturday, April 16, 2022 (16th Nisan of 5782) and ends in the evening of Saturday, June 4, 2022 (5th of Sivan, 5782).

Shavuot 2022 sunset to sunset is the key: wheat harvest

Shavuot 2022 will begin in the evening of Saturday, June 4, 2022 (new 6th of Sivan, 5782) Shavuot is High Shabbat no work allowed is on Sunday (June 5, 2022) and ends in the evening of Monday, June 6, 2022 (new 7th of Sivan, 5782).

June 5, 2022
6 Sivan 5782
Shavuot
(High Shabbat, no work)

On Shavuot We all always read the Scroll of Ruth is one of my favorite book applies my spiritual life. Read the Book of Ruth and Chabad Ruth

The book, written in Hebrew in the 6th–4th centuries BC, tells of the Moabite woman Ruth, who accepts Yahweh, the God of the Israelites, as her God and accepts the Israelite people as her own. In Ruth 1:16–17, Ruth tells Naomi, her Israelite mother-in-law, “Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.

Leviticus 2:14 TLV speaks of minhat bikkurim, “a grain offering of first fruits,” prescribing that part of it be burnt on the altar we all read:

¹⁴“If you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to Adonai, you are to present for the grain offering of your firstfruits of fresh ears of barley, scorched with fire—crushed grain of fresh ears.

Joshua 5:10-12 TLV

¹⁰The people of Isra’el camped at Gilgal, and they observed Pesachon the fourteenth day of the month, there on the plains of Yericho. ¹¹The day after Pesach they ate what the land produced, matzah and roasted ears of grain that day. ¹²The following day, after they had eaten food produced in the land, the man ended. From then on the people of Isra’el no longer had man; instead, that year, they ate the produce of the land of Kena‘an.

I learn new basic Mincha means daily afternoon prayer therefore, I understood the name Mincha, meaning “present”, is derived from the meal offering that accompanied each sacrifice offered in the Temple (Beit HaMikdash).

I see the above demonstrates ”present” and agree totally with bless late beloved brother in Mashiyach Bill Welker’s excellent view on:

Read slowly seeing “his excellent insight” …..Yeshua did not rise on Firstfruits, He is still our firstfruits, because Firstfruits don’t “rise” – they are “presented” – and Yeshua was presented after 3 days/3 nights……

Firstfruits (Yom HaBikkurim):

Fulfilled when Yeshua, the Firstruits of Creation, rose from the dead to be presented to YHWH as the first of the harvest (I Corinthians 15:20-23). FirstFruits is celebrated on Nisan 16 (Leviticus 23:11), and falls during the March/April timeframe. This Feast celebrates the bringing of the firstfruits of the winter harvest to the Temple – indicating there would be more to come. Please note, the first three Feasts were fulfilled through the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Yeshua haMashiyach! Though Yeshua did not rise on Firstfruits, He is still our firstfruits, because Firstfruits don’t “rise” – they are “presented” – and Yeshua was presented after 3 days/3 nights. (See Leviticus 23:9-14, Numbers 28:26-31, and 1 Corinthians 15:20.)

This is my researching scripture verse I spiritually comprehended first read before scripture verse:

…This minḥah within the context of first fruit offerings. It has been identified with the “grain offering of fresh grain” (minḥah ḥadashah) of Leviticus 23:16:

Leviticus 23:16-18 TLV

¹⁶Until the morrow after the seventh Shabbat you are to count fifty days,^[a]and then present a new grain offering to Adonai. ¹⁷You are to bring out of your houses two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They are to be baked with hametz as firstfruits to Adonai. ¹⁸You are to present, along with the bread, seven one-year-old lambs without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They will become a burnt offering to Adonai, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to Adonai.
