The people of Israel arrive at the edge of the Red Sea. They have walked day and night for 7 days to reach this point. As they set their eyes on the Red Sea in front of them, they see the Egyptians coming behind. God has one last “elohim” of Egypt to judge before he takes the Israelites away from Egypt for good. After a temporary lack of faith, God guides them through the water and they walk in “martial array” to the other side. The Egyptians, blindly follow them in and God creates havoc and it is the Egyptians who start to panic just before the sea swallows them whole. They are never a threat to Israel again.

At the time of the Exodus, YHWH (God’s personal name in Hebrew, often translated as “the LORD”) told the people of Israel to have a “lamb for a household” (Exodus 12:3). Usually 10 people could manage to consume a whole lamb. Smaller groups joined together to form a chaverim, Hebrew for “a group of friends,” and that formed a mishpokhah, “a family group.” Paul talks about believers being the “household of God” (1st Timothy 3:15) because there is a “lamb for the household.” The lamb was originally the firstborn of the flock. Parallel to that, Messiah Y’shua (Jesus) is the firstborn of God (Colossians 1:15). Once the Passover was centralised in Jerusalem, those living far away were permitted to sell their lambs at home and then purchase a lamb in the Temple at Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 14:25-26). Y’shua was purchased in the Temple by some of the Pharisees for 30 pieces of silver from Judas who sold Him. Later in Israel’s history, the king provided the lamb during the major periods of reform (2nd Chronicles 30:24 and 35:6). YHVH, King of the Universe, provided Y’shua, the Passover Lamb “who takes away the sin of the whole world” (John 1:29, 1st Corinthians 5:17). The Passover lamb was chosen on the 10th day of Israel’s first month, called Nisan or Aviv, which is Hebrew for the month of “green ears” of barley in spring. The lamb was kept in the Temple precincts for four days to be examined for faults. Y’shua was in the Temple for four days before Pesakh, Hebrew for “Passover," being questioned and examined by the chief priests, and Pharisees (Luke 20-21). No fault was found in Him. Pilate said three times, “I find no fault in this man” (John 18:38, Jn. 19:4-6). Y’shua would have entered Jerusalem with the lambs that had been chosen for Passover. We know from Josephus that over 250,000 lambs were slaughtered during Pesakh in the 1st century. This would have taken place all day. It would have been very noisy, smelly and dirty. Y’shua was identifying Himself with the lambs and it was a picture of the nature/cost of sin. From its inception, the Pesakh, referring to the lamb alone, was understood to have a prophylactic, or covering, effect. The Passover sacrifice was a zebah shelamim, Hebrew for “peace” or “communion” offering. In other words, it restored a right relationship between God and man, and the blood of the lamb was understood as having a covering effect. The blood of the lamb in Exodus 12 was stuck on the doorway — lintel and two sides forming the Hebrew letter khet. The opening of the door would have been completely smeared with blood — representing that a death had already taken place within. (This is what convinced the makhit, Hebrew for the destroying angel of the 10th plague, to pass over those inside.) Y’shua was crucified on a stake that stood upright in the ground. The beam He carried was the crossbar to which his hands were nailed. There was a groove in the top of the upright stake into which the crossbar was dropped with Y’shua already nailed to it. The blood on His head and hands corresponds to the lintel and the two sides. The Hebrew letter chet is the first letter in the word chai, which means “life.” When the Hebrews fled out of their homes after the angel of death passed over their houses, they passed from death to life through the “door of life.” In John 10:9, Y’shua tells us He is the “Door” to “Abundant Life”! Not one bone of the Passover lamb was to be broken (Exodus 12:46). Y’shua’s bones were left unbroken as He gave up His spirit and died before the soldiers broke the legs of the crucified men to hasten death (John 19:31-32). (The victim had to push up on their legs in order to breathe.)

Where did the early Christians get that idea? Why is it called a "wave offering"? What does God do with the offering? What is the "bread of life"? What "feast of the LORD" is connected to the wave offering? What are the two loaves of the wave offering made out of ? How does "on the morrow" from old English in Hebrew change the meaning of "the day after" in most translations of Leviticus 23:11 in relation to the day of the week of the wave offering? How does that change the traditional interpretation of the resurrection of Messiah? What does "after the Sabbath" mean in Matthew 28:1, Mark 11 and 13:35 and Luke 6:1? Doesn't that mean the first day of the week? What does all this mean for us today? What is the significance of the gathering of the "first of the firstfruits" described in 1st Corinthians 15:20? How are we supposed to count the "omer" or each Shabbat between the wave offering and Shavuot (Feast of Weeks or Pentecost)? Who are the "second of the firstfruits"? If there are seven Shabbats between the wave offering and Shavuot, are there sevent reapings or callings of God? Are they seen in the Bible book Revelation? What is the "acceptable day of the LORD"? If Messiah rose on the first of the Shabbats of Shavuot, when are we accepted by God? How are the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread connected to Shavuot?

How do those who plant a tree or crop see the budding, ripening and harvesting feel? How different is God in this regard? How many of the seven Shabbats of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) have happened prophetically? 8 sets of 490 years from Adam to the Second Adam (Messiah) 8 sets after the temple is established to the New Jerusalem temple 8 sets from Abraham to today; promise of God for offspring and all the land be his so we expect he will have more offspring and establish Israel How does this relate to the Festival of Firstfruits? What is the Firstfruit? First grain First fruit First born First in a family to believe in Messiah What two items does the firstborn son get from his father? Inheritance Blessing Why did Jacob, Ephraim and David get the firstborn blessing, even though they weren't firstborn? What happened to Adam's blessing after Adam? Why are only certain descendants mentioned? What is a "firstfruit" according to Micah 7:1–2 and Jeremiah 31:9? Why are firstfruits such a complicated picture in the prophetic writings? Why aren't we the firstfruits? Who rose from graves at the time of Messiah's death? When did God start counting the firstfruits? If you have people before Messiah came to Earth who are upright but they must believe in Messiah, can they enter the kingdom of heaven? What is the value of point out the people included in the sixth seal of Revelation 6? How does this relate to discussions with Jews who are familiar with the apostolic writings (New Testament) that say only those who believe in Yeshua can be saved? Examples of "firstfruits" Ephraim is My firstborn — Psalm 89:7 Israel is My firstborn — Exodus 4:22 All firstborn of man and beast is Mine — Exodus 13 Levi is My firstborn — Hosea Israel is My grapes, your fathers are my firstborn — Exodus 34 Israel, you are no longer My firstborn — Micah Messiah is God's Firstborn Does lineage matter in whether someone is a "firstfruit"?
