Feast of Unleavened Bread 2007 — Day 5
Speaker: Richard Agee
Thought questions
- Why do Christians celebrate the resurrection of Messiah Yeshua on Sunday?
- 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?
