Feast of Pentecost (Shavuot) - Firstfruits Harvest Parable

Barley grain bowing their heads

This evening is the feast of Shavuot or Pentecost according to the Jewish Calendar 5777.

God pours out His Spirit and soon grants His Spirit to the first fruits, the barley harvest of the earth (unleavened bread represents no sin - the "overcomers"). This feast is an important type of the first harvest, or "resurrection." In a couple of days...

("He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him." "And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day;" It has been almost 2000 years since Yahshua died on the cross and poured out His Spirit. We see a similar parable reflected in Joshua/Yahshua leading the Israelites across the Jordan into the Promised Land - the Israelites were to stay about 2000 cubits behind the priesthood carrying the ark.) 

...we'll see the firstfruits expressed in the feast of unleavened bread. Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb! The prayers of the saints are the incense, a sweet smelling aroma to God's throne room. His angel takes coals from the altar of incense and hurls them to the earth.

There are still to come two harvest types this year foreshadowing the true and final harvests of the end days: The wheat that must be separated from the tares, threshed and winnowed to make leavened bread, and the grapes that will be tread in the winepress of the wrath of God to make wine.

Then the table will be set for God the Father with the Lamb as the center piece, the unleavened bread to scoop up the lamb and eat it, and the leavened bread, broken to sop up the juices. And of course, wine to wash it all down.

"And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all."

Lucifer is not the Holy Spirit

"Lucifer is divine and terrestrial light, the 'Holy Ghost' and 'Satan,' at one and the same time..." -Madame Blavatsy, "The Secret Doctrine" Brothers and sisters, take a moment to ponder what is being said there. Satan is the indwelling Holy Spirit? This woman essentially created the New Age movement which has swept the globe and has found its way into the hearts of even those who claim to reject its Luciferian roots. Luciferian principles are taught as commonplace in our society as virtues, even in Christianity. For about 150 years we have been indoctrinated with Blavatsky's and Crowley's satanic philosophies. When The Bible speaks of receiving another spirit consider that for many years very prominent figures in the media, arts, government, educational institutions and corporations have been heavily influenced by what these people taught. It is no surprise that through several generations of indoctrination these ideas are thought of as virtuous. Ideals like unconditional love, unity in diversity, tolerance, peace and safety, all have been promoted in a way that reinforces an antichrist spirit in the world - the spirit of Babylon. There is of course nothing wrong with love and peace, but the causes and results of actions taken for the sake of these things is often contradictory, serving a hidden agenda that is set against the Spirit of Christ. People cry out for peace and safety when these things are not in their hearts. We are being bound to the world through long standing lies that are difficult even to recognize now that they have become truth in the eyes of the beholders. It is disheartening to hear a Christian proclaiming the love of Christ turn around and draw spurious prejudgmental conclusions about people. This I see often in hypocrites who do not even see that the spirit of antichrist is working within them. I can judge from sound, truthful observation that their hearts are not true. I often wonder if maybe I too have these same problems, and of course I readily admit that I do. But I recognize these faults by the Spirit of Christ with in me and I ask Him for help and guidance to righteousness. I then pursue His leading with all my might, if not failing only to repent and keep pressing into him. I do not get the impression that this is the case with most of the Christians I meet. Christ is an afterthought or an ornament in their lives. He is an accessory and they are not truly living for Him. They use His name in vain. They do not know Him. I am afraid, however, that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may be led astray from your simple and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims a Jesus other than the One we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit than the One you received, or a different gospel than the one you accepted, you put up with it way too easily... But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds... Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern? -2 Corinthians 11
