We are continuing our “Journey to the 10 (commandments)” as our ancestors of old went the first time. We see God’s “high hand” redeem our ancestors from the Egyptians once and for all. Then they continue for three more days until they reached Marah on the 24th of Aviv. [read more]

Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) is called the firstfruits of the resurrection (1st Cor. 15:20), and why are we called firstfruits of creation (James 1:18)? Pentecost originally was a celebration of the firstfruits of the wheat harvest and followed 50 days after the celebration of the firstfruits of the barley harvest. What is God teaching here about Yeshua and us? [read more] God’s ways may be mysterious, but when He lays out patterns and times important historical events accordingly, He is inviting us to learn more about what He is doing. There’s a “new beginning” lesson in the spring festivals of the LORD on Yeshua (Jesus). [read more] More than 2,000 years of debate lies behind the question of when Messiah Yeshua rose from the dead. Rather than an esoteric inquiry, timing matters because Yeshua’s life, death, and resurrection happened “according to the Scriptures.” [read more] Teacher: Richard Agee This is the third in a series of Bible studies exploring the connection in thought and time between Passover, Festival of the Wave Offering (Firstfruits or Bikkurim), Feast of Unleavened Bread (Matzot) and the Festival of Sevens (Shavuot or Pentecost). For the background to this presentation, listen to "Timing of the Festivals of Firstfruits & Shavuot — Journey Into the Wilderness of Zin" and "When Was the Wave Sheaf Offering and Yeshua’s Resurrection?" Continue reading “Timing of the Festivals of Firstfruits & Shavuot — Seven Sabbaths & 50 Days” There are three primary ways Judaism and Christianity use to determine when Shavuot — Hebrew for “weeks,” “sevens” or Sabbaths — will come. Richard considers another possiblity related to encampments the people of Israel during their exodus from slavery in Egypt leading up to their receiving the 10 Commandments from God at Mt. Sinai. The number of encampments after the people went through the sea and escaped Pharaoh’s army, the connection of those encampments with the weekly Shabbat (seeExodus 16) and the potential for a mistranslation of “day after the Sabbath” and “after the Sabbath, on the first day of the week” suggests that Yeshua’s resurrection and Shavuot came on weekly Shabbats. This isn’t just esoteric Bible-babbling. This connection to the Shabbat has an important bearing on what God is trying to teach with the festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Shavuot. [read more] |
