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."
