THE FESTIVAL OF FIRST FRUITS IS YAHSHUA MESSIAH OUR FIRSTFRUITS
Sundown March 30 - 31 2021 
Hebrew Day Nisan 18th (Bondage)
In this 2nd Podcast of Yahweh’s Feasts; I will be discussing the Festival of the Firstfruits, the day in which the Messiah Resurrected, NOT on the Church tradition of Easter

The Holy Days have meanings that build upon each other.  Together they progressively reveal how Yahweh works with humanity. The fifteenth of Nisan begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is a high Sabbath.  It is a seven day feast to the Lord.  The day following the Sabbath during Passover is called the Feast of First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10-14).

It is commonly supposed in Churches today that Yahshua Messiah was crucified on Friday and that the resurrection occurred about sunrise on Easter Sunday morning. Few professing Christians have ever thought to question or to prove this “Good-Friday-Easter” tradition. Yet the Bible tells us to prove (test) all things.

The doubting Pharisees were asking Yahshua for a sign – supernatural evidence – in proof of His Messiahship. Yahshua answered, “But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Matthew 12:39-40.

YAHSHUA MESSIAH IS THE FIRST FRUITS OF THE BARLEY HARVEST

1. Yahshua is the firstborn of Mary (Matthew 1:23-25)
2. Yahshua is the first-begotten of Elohim the Father (Hebrews 1:6)
3. Yahshua is the firstborn of every creature (Colossians 1:15)
4. Yahshua is the first-begotten from the dead (Revelation 1:5)
5. Yahshua is the firstborn of many brethren (Romans 8:29)
6. Yahshua is the first fruits of the resurrected ones (1 Corinthians 
 15:20, 23)
7. Yahshua is the beginning of the creation of Elohim (Revelation 3:14)

The timing of the Feast 

• This is our last clue in the Messianic significance of the feast 
• This is the only feast in Scripture which gives the time of celebration as such; "on the day after the Sabbath..." Some have interpreted the "day after the Sabbath" as being the day after the Sabbath of Nisan 15, which is the day of Unleavened Bread that could occur on any day of the week. However, the Scriptures reveal that the Feast of First Fruits must also align 50 days forward to the Feast of Seven Weeks (50th day), the day of Pentecost according to Lev. 23:15-16. The Feast of Seven Weeks must also happen on the "day after the Sabbath". In the seventh week, there is no possibility of a Sabbath to occur on a weekday. The only possible Sabbath day during the seventh week is the seventh day Sabbath.
• Now, how is this a clue? This feast always follows the pattern: Passover/ Sabbath/ First Fruits. But what does that tell us? 
• Yahshua is called in (I Cor 5:7-8) our Passover lamb, as such He died for our redemption - He died on Passover. After this He rested - that is the meaning of the word - Sabbath - in the tomb.
  Then on the day after the 17th - "on the day after the Sabbath", He was resurrected, and as such He is The First Fruits - the fulfillment of the Feast, and the promise that all who believe in Him would be raised again on the last day. 
• Is it any wonder that this feast with its singular importance should be the only one specifically laid out in terms of when it is celebrated?
