1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: For since by man came death by man came also 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: the resurrection of the dead one Corinthians, fifteen twenty one. 3 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: What a glorious day to celebrate the joy of your resurrection. 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: Because of Adam Sin we were all under the penalty 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: of death, but because of Christ's obedience, the power of 6 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: that death was broken. You, Lord Jesus, were the first 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: to be resurrected from the dead and paved the way 8 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: for all of us who believe in you and follow. 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: Your resurrection was the total defeat of death. Our triumphant 10 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: Christ declared that he was the resurrection and the life. 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: You told me that if I believe in you, I 12 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: would live even if I die, and you showed me 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: the power of your promise when you rose from the grave. 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: You conquered the last stronghold of satan, death itself. Glory, Hallelujah, 15 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: he is risen. Ring the bells for the entire world 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: to know that Jesus Christ has risen. There is no 17 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: more fear of death, only hope of eternal life to 18 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: be shared with my beautiful Savior. I'm filled with awe 19 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: and wonder of such a glorious revelation that death has 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: been swallowed up in victory through the obedience of one 21 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: perfect Man, who delivered me from evil and brought salvation 22 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: to all those who have faith in him.

Stick with me. You're gonna want to as 31 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: we discover all the way back in ancient time of Moses, 32 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: what it meant, what it meant in the first century, 33 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: and what does it mean for us today? Right after this, Hello, everyone, 34 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: I'm Jim Staley Passion for Truth Ministries, and welcome to today's broadcast. 35 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: Today we're going to continue our series on God's prophetic calendar. 36 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: This is the Prophecy of the First Fruits, all about 37 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 2: the feast of First Fruits. In fact, it's only a day, 38 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: but we're going to discuss it in how it was 39 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: prophesied for over a thousand years that the Messiah was 40 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: going to come out from the grave after three days 41 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 2: and three nights, and no one had a clue. They 42 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: were rehearsing for fort hundred years for their own Messiah. 43 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: And that's exactly what we're going to dive into. So 44 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: as we walk into this third festival on God's seven 45 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: prophesied feast day calendar, this is probably one of the 46 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: most exciting, hands down, where Passover deals with just the 47 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: evening of the Passover Lamb, where Christ was sacrificed, the 48 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 2: Lamb was slaughtered for all of Israel, the exodus of 49 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: the Israelites coming out of Egypt being symbolized of coming 50 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: out of the bondage of sin, and the Pharaoh being 51 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: connected to Satan himself that had us under his wrap 52 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: and being in his jurisdiction. God set us free on Passover. 53 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 2: Then he was put into the grave during the feast 54 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: of unleavened Bread, where every single Israelite for fourteen hundred 55 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: years was going through their home and getting rid of 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: everything that had Levin in it. Everything that had Levin 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: had to go and be put on pause. Why because 58 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: Levin represents sin, it represents pride, it represents the ego, 59 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: it represents Satan himself and what caused him to be 60 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: puffed up and lifted up and ultimately to be thrown down. 61 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: And so it is a great reminder to not only 62 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: get sin out of our house, but to eat unleavened bread, 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 2: which is sincerity and truth. On Corinthians, chapter five, verse eight. 64 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: It is the word of God, it's humility, it's thinking 65 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: others greater than ourselves. And so Yashua Jesus was put 66 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: into the grave right at the beginning of the high 67 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: festival day of the first day of unleavened Bread, which 68 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: was a seven day feast, and then the first Sunday 69 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: after Passover, no matter what day Passover landed on, could 70 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: have been a Monday, could have been a Thursday, could 71 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: have even been a Friday. But that was the next 72 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: following Sunday after the Sabbath that started the feast of 73 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: first fruits and the beginning of the counting of the 74 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: what's called the Omer all the way to the fifty 75 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: days of pennycosts, which we'll talk about in the next series. 76 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: So right now we are going to dive into this 77 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: feast and discover all the richness that we've been missing 78 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: as believers for so many millennia. Let's start off in Exodus, 79 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 2: chapter twelve, verse seven, where it talks about the feast 80 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: of unleven bread, which first fruits normally falls right in 81 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: the middle of and it says this verse seventeen, you 82 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: shall observe the feast of unleaven bread, for in the 83 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: self same day I brought your armies out of the 84 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: land of Egypt. Therefore shall you observe this day in 85 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: your generations by an ordinance forever in the first month, 86 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 2: on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, you 87 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: shall eat unleaven bread until the one and twentieth day, 88 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: that's the twenty first day of the same month. And 89 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: so we are going to talk about the first fruits 90 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: and how it connects to prophecy, how it connected to 91 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: the foretelling of the resurrection of the Messiah, and then ultimately, 92 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 2: why aren't we celebrating this today? What did the enemy 93 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: do to get our eyes off of the prize of 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: God's calendar and onto man's roaming calendar. So we're going 95 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: to dive right over into the New Testament here real quick, 96 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: and show you the immediate connection between the first fruits 97 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 2: and Yeshee with Jesus. I like to call him by 98 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 2: his Hebrew name. One Corinthians, chapter fifteen, verse twenty. Read 99 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: this with me and says, but now Christ has been 100 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: raised from the dead. He became the first fruit of 101 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: those having fallen asleep. For since death is through man, 102 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: also through man is a resurrection of the debt. For 103 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: as an Adam all died, also in Christ, all will 104 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 2: be made alive, but each in his own order. Christ 105 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 2: the first fruit. Afterwards those at Christ coming. This is 106 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: an incredible scripture because the author here is making a 107 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: very obvious connection to the feast of first Fruits, because 108 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: he rose from the dead precisely on this feast day 109 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: on God's prophetic calendar. It all starts on Passover, which 110 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: most of us are familiar with. Like I said in 111 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 2: previous teachings that the Passover Lamb was crucified, was killed, 112 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: I should say at precisely three PM, at the precise 113 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: moment that our Lord was crucified. Then they had to 114 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: get off the cross before that night. Why, because the 115 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: Sabbath began, And this is where our Roman friends made 116 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: their mistake. Is they saw the word Sabbath, and they 117 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: believed that that had to be Saturday, because this Saturday 118 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: is the biblical Sabbath, it's not Sunday. And so they 119 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: felt like, well, that means he died on a Friday. 120 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: We don't know how we're going to get three days 121 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: and three nights out of this. But the text is clear. 122 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: It says they had to get him off the cross 123 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: before the Sabbath began. The problem is they didn't know 124 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: the front of the book as I like to call it, 125 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: and the Torah and the Law of God makes it 126 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: very clear that the first day of Unloved Bread is 127 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: a special Sabbath. It's a high Sabbath on top of 128 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: the regular Sabbath. And so that year Jesus dies on 129 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: a Thursday afternoon, they put him into the grave that night. 130 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Friday is a high Sabbath, and Saturday is the regular 131 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: weekly Sabbath. And that's why you've got Thursday night, Friday night, 132 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: Saturday night, and then precisely at Sunday morning in the 133 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: fourth watch. According to Mark, chapter six teen, verse nine, 134 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 2: we know for a fact that he rose from the 135 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: dead between three and six a m. Why, because the 136 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: Greek word for early there is pro and proi literally 137 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: means the fourth watch of the night. So we know 138 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: that he didn't rise Saturday night, he didn't rise Sunday 139 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: morning at two am, just some random time. It is 140 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: most probable that he raises from the dead right at 141 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: the crack of dawn at six a m. Sunday morning. 142 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: Why because this is the moment that the high priest 143 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: had taken the sheaf from the earth and is standing 144 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: before God and waving it before the Lord, asking for 145 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: a great harvest in the fall. Think of the prophetic 146 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: significance of this, Ladies and gentlemen, for fourteen hundred years, 147 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: they would take the sickle, a large crowd would go 148 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: with them Saturday night, right at the end of the Sabbath, 149 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: as the sun is going down, they would cut the 150 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 2: barley from the ground that had already been marked with 151 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: the crimson cloth. They would bind it together in a sheaf, 152 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: and then they would hold on to it until right 153 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 2: at sun rise Sunday morning. Because the Torus says that 154 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: it has to be offered the day after the Sabbath 155 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: is over, so in the daytime after the Sabbath, and 156 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: so right as the day is beginning, right as the 157 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: sun is beginning to dawn. They are taking what was 158 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: already cut from the earth, and they are waving it 159 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: before the Lord, asking for a great harvest in the fall. 160 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: They're giving thanks to the Lord because God says, before 161 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: you eat of any bread that I give you from 162 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: the earth, you are to bring a sheaf offering to 163 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: me in thanksgiving. Give God his first first. Then you 164 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: can have all the rest. We're talking about just one sheaf, 165 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 2: and they get to have all the rest of the 166 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: fields of the barley. But the point that I'm making is, 167 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: think of the ramifications of this that the high priest 168 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: is doing this, and just show a Jesus is raising 169 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: from the dead asking for a great harvest in the fall. 170 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: Check this out in Colossians chapter one, verse eighteen. It 171 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: says this, and he is the head of the body, 172 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: the assembly, and he is the beginning and the first 173 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: born from among the dead, so that in everything he 174 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: might have supremacy. You see, before the beginning of the year, 175 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: before a single harvest is made, before anyone touches anything 176 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: to their mouth, the barley has to be given to 177 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: God first. It's the first fruits of all that which 178 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: would come afterwards. In the same way, Jesus Yoshua is 179 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: coming from the earth and he is the first born. 180 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: This is a connection to Adam. You see, Adam literally 181 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 2: in the Hebrew means divine blood. And this is why 182 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: Jesus is called the second atom is because he comes 183 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 2: straight from God as the divine blood. And that's why 184 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: no one can pay for Adam's sin unless you are 185 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: like Adam. You must have divine blood. No one with 186 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: corrupt blood could die for Adam. And because all mankind 187 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 2: was in Adam, like a Domino effect, when Adam sinned, 188 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: everyone is born into sin. So therefore Adam is waiting 189 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: for his sin to be paid for. So when the 190 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 2: divine blood comes from God and it's shed and it 191 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: pays for adam sin retroactively, like Domino's, all of mankind 192 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: that's in Adam then becomes cleansed if we accept that payment. 193 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 2: And that's a big if, and that of course is 194 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: the Gospel in short. But what I want to show 195 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: you is this, Let's get into some cool prophecies says 196 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: we're making all kinds of connections already. Let's go to 197 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: Levitica's chapter twenty three in the instructions where the Torah 198 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 2: tells exactly how to celebrate this feast. Watch this. It says, 199 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: on the day you waive the sheaf, in verse twelve, 200 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: you must sacrifice a burnt offering to the Lord, a 201 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: lamb a year old without defect, together with its grain, 202 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: offering of two tents an epha, a fine flower mixed 203 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 2: with oil, an offering made to the Lord by fire, 204 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: a pleasing aroma, and its drink offering of a quarter 205 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: of a hen of wine. Unbelievable. Now, if you're not 206 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: familiar with what this is appearing and what's really going 207 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 2: on here, this is dinner with the King, look at 208 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: all the elements that is being required for this first 209 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: fruits offering. First of all, you have a lamb completely 210 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 2: burnt with nothing left over, in the same way Jesus 211 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: Yeshia was the lamb offering. It was the passover law offering, 212 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: and nothing was left over. There was no single flesh 213 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: left over. It was one hundred percent killed and one 214 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 2: hundred percent raised from the death. Then you have flour 215 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: for unleavened bread twice as much as usual. Normally there 216 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: would only be this amount, but the scriptures say to 217 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: give twice as much on the First Fruits offering. I 218 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 2: believe that's prophetic connecting to It's not just for one person, 219 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: it's for for two. Check this out. Next is oil 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: that God requires oil to be part of this offering. 221 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: This is oil to anoint the king, representing the will 222 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 2: of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit. Oil 223 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: was used in ancient times for multiple things, but the 224 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: most prophetic thing was to anoint kings. And on a 225 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: very practical level, the shepherds would take the oil, pour 226 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 2: it over the head of sheep and it would cover 227 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: the ears and the oil itself it would protect the 228 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: ears from any flies or any insects that would want 229 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: to come into the ears. Beelz above. The Lord of 230 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: the flies is constantly speaking into our ears, and it's 231 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: the oil of God. It's the anointing of the word 232 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: of the Lord that protects our ears from that noise 233 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 2: from the enemy that's constantly wanting to get into our head. Lastly, 234 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: listen to this, God says, I need a hint of wine. 235 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: He wants wine, which is symbolizing of finalizing the covenant. 236 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: It's the blood of the lamb that brings the finalization. 237 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: The completion of the covenant, and it represents, of course 238 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 2: his blood. So inside of this offering is literally a meal. 239 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: You have the lamb, you've got the bread, you have 240 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: the oil, and you have the wine, all connected. Now 241 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: where else do we see this exact same scenario where 242 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: there is dinner with the king and then there is 243 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: a three days and three nights scenario. We see this 244 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: all the way in the book of Esther. Check it 245 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: out four verse sixteen. Go gather together all the Jews 246 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: that are president in Shushan and faster for me, and 247 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: neither eat or drink for three days and three nights. 248 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: So she has three days, three nights and then dinner 249 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: with the king. What do we have. We've got Yashia 250 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: dine on the cross on Passover, and then three days 251 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: and three nights later is the first fruits offering where 252 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: dinner with the king is served. It's the same exact scenario. 253 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: It's absolutely a Did Esther have any clue that she 254 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: was forecasting when she called for three days and three 255 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: nights fast because she was going to go into the 256 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: court of the king and either she was going to 257 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: live or die depending on his what on his grace, 258 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: and so what happens is three days and three nights later, 259 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: we are coming before our King, and either we're going 260 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: to live or die, and it's all going to be 261 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 2: dependent on the blood and our boldness to come before 262 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: the throne with the blood of the lamb. Let's take 263 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: a look at Exodus chapter nineteen. This is another incredible 264 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: prophetic moment connected to the resurrection, connected to yan Bikreem 265 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: the Day of First Fruits. Exodus chapter nineteen, verse ten. 266 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: Read it with me. It says, and the Lord said 267 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: to Moses, go into the people, sanctify them today and tomorrow, 268 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: and let them wash their clothes and be ready for 269 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: the third day. For the third day, the Lord will 270 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 2: come down on the side of all the people amongst 271 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: Mount SINAI. Do you see the prophetic connection here that 272 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: thousands of years ago, three eighty four hundred some odd 273 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: years ago, God Yahweh comes down to tells Moses, look, 274 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: tell the people get ready for the third day, because 275 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: on that third day, I am going to reveal myself 276 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: before the people. I've revealed myself to you, but I'm 277 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: going to reveal myself in the sight of all the people. 278 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: And what happened three days three nights, like being in 279 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: the belly of the whale with Jonah Jesus. Yashua raises 280 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 2: from the dead and then reveals himself in his true 281 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: form of who he really was throughout the rest of 282 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: Israel at that time. Incredible. Now, all this happens on 283 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: the seventeenth of Nissan. This is when the First Fruits 284 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: was in the first century. It happens to be on 285 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: the seventeenth of Nissan. Now that changes each and every year, 286 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 2: but on this this time, it was the seventeenth of Nissan, 287 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 2: on the year that he died. Let's go through the 288 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: scriptures and show you the incredible mathematical impossibilities of these 289 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: amazing things happening on the seventeenth of Nissan. Now before 290 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: I do almost every time I mentioned numbers because people 291 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: have been programmed to believe this somehow numbers are pagan, 292 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 2: that somehow this is not of God. But listen, God 293 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: is the master mathematician. He's the one that invented numbers. 294 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: He's the one that says, like three days and three 295 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: nights in the belly of a whale, so shall the 296 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: son of Man be in the belly of the earth. 297 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: He makes the symbolic connections using math and numbers, because 298 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 2: God is incredible orchestrator of everything precise in the universe, 299 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: and I just want to show you a few of 300 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: them that are related to the seventeenth of Nissan. That year. 301 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: In Genesis chapter eight, verse four, we discover that Noah's 302 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: arc landed on Mount Arat on the seventeenth of Nissan. 303 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: While you shoe a raisers from the dead. On the 304 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: seventeenth of Nissan, Noah rest on the Ark, and the 305 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: forty days of rain and the tribulation that he was 306 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 2: inside the Ark, crouched in darkness finally became light on 307 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 2: that day, unbelievable. Exodus chapter three, verse eighteen talks about 308 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: Israel crossing the Red Sea on this day. On the 309 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 2: seventeenth of Nissan, is when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea. 310 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: Think of the connections here. Jesus is raising from the 311 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: dead on the seventeenth of Nissan, freeing his people from 312 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: the prophetic Egypt of sin and slavery. And God is 313 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: freeing as people once and for all by taking them 314 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: past the outer courts of Egypt and into the Holy 315 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: of Holies, of the water, of the womb, of the 316 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: Word of God, and on the other side they became 317 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: truly free. That's an amazing connection. In Joshua chapter five, 318 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 2: we see that Israel crossed the Jordan River, and it 319 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: was on this day, the seventeenth of Nissan, that the 320 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 2: Israelites ate from the ground the bread from the earth 321 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: for the very first time. They had been eating mana 322 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: up until that point. Think of the prophetic connections to 323 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: this is that up into this point man had been 324 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: eating regular bread. It's reversed. They've been eating regular bread 325 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: up unto this point. But on the seventeenth of Nissan, 326 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 2: when on the year that our Lord raised from the dead, 327 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: for the very first time since the Exodus, mana from 328 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: heaven was available to all. So for the first time 329 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: on Nissan seventeen, Yeshia, the Bread of Life, who came 330 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: from a town called the House of Bread. That's what 331 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: Bethlehem means. It's a baitd Lehem, house of bread. Jesus 332 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeshia born in the House of Bread, saying I am 333 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: the Bread of life. He who eats of me will 334 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 2: never be hungry again. And the day he rose from 335 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 2: the dead was the same day that the Israelites ate 336 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: from the bread of the earth that he just came from. Unbelievable. 337 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: And then four hundred and thirty years prior to them 338 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: going into Egypt, they came into Egypt on the seventeenth 339 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 2: of Nissan. According to Exodus chapter twelve. We've got so 340 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: many prophetic things happening. I would venture to say that 341 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: we need to pay attention to this day. This day 342 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: has prophetic significance. There's a gravity here, there's a weight here, 343 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 2: There's something that God wants us to see. There's a 344 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: reason why he rose on that day. It wasn't because 345 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: it was just Sunday morning. No, it wasn't Sunday. Is 346 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 2: why God wanted him to raise had nothing to do 347 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: with the Roman pagan festival of Sun's Day, the day 348 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 2: that all the pagans worshiped the Sun God. It had 349 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: to do with this was Hill on his calendar. It 350 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 2: just coincidentally happened to be on a Sunday, but this 351 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 2: day was called the day after the Sabbath. This was 352 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 2: the first fruits offering. That's why it was so significant. 353 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 2: This had been practiced and rehearsed for fourteen hundred years, 354 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: and the Israelites never saw it. They missed it completely 355 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: when he rose from the dead. They never made the connection. 356 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: It would be much later that the disciples themselves didn't 357 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 2: make the connection, would finally make the connection that he's 358 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: the first fruits offering, he rose on first fruits, and 359 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: they would pin it into what we would call the 360 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 2: Gospels and the scriptures today. Now, one of the mathematical 361 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 2: probabilities of all of this happening on one single day, well, 362 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,959 Speaker 2: there's actually a professional mathematician that calculated those chances. His 363 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: name is Robert Fade. He's a former nuclear engineer and 364 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: Nobel Prize winner for mathematics, and he calculated that all 365 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: of the chances of all this happening on one single 366 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 2: day on Nissan seventeen was one in seven hundred and 367 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: eighty three quadrillion. Now that is seven hundred and eighty 368 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: three with three, six, nine, twelve fifteen zeros after that. 369 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 2: Virtually impossible, is what I would put it. In simplistic terminology. 370 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: Jesus she wad comes and he dies, and he raises 371 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 2: from the dead on the same day that Noah opens 372 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 2: the hatch and lands on dry ground, and all these 373 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: other things happen. Amazing. Now, let's talk about this Let's 374 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: talk about what this means to us, because we know 375 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: what it meant to them. They did it every single 376 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: year for fourteen hundred years. We know in the first 377 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 2: century this was critical for early believers to celebrate the 378 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 2: resurrection of their Messiah, and they did it on the 379 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: same day that he rose the year before, which was 380 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: not Easter that had not been invented yet. That was 381 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: a pagan holiday of the Romans. That would come hundreds 382 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: of years later that they would switch the day of 383 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: the Passover and switch the day of the resurrection so 384 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: that Roman citizens that were used to celebrating Ishtar would 385 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: be easier for them to convert to Christianity. That would 386 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: happen one hundreds of years later. But the authentic Christianity 387 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: first and second and even early third centuries found themselves 388 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: following in the footsteps of the disciples. And that was 389 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: all about God's prophetic calendar. How do we know this? 390 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: Check this out. First Corinthians, chapter five, verse eight, six 391 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: through eight. We have Paul telling a gentile church to 392 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: keep the feast of unloven bread, which would include Passover, 393 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 2: unloven bread and first fruits. Watch this, Read it with me. 394 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: He says, in verse six. Your glorying is not good. 395 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 2: They're boasting. Do you not know that a little leven 396 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 2: leavens the whole lump. Therefore, purge out the old leaven, 397 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: that you may be a new lump, since you truly 398 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: are unleavened. For indeed, Christ, our Passover was sacrificed for us. Therefore, 399 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: let us keep the feast. What feast, the feast of 400 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: Passover and unloven bread, not with old leaven, nor with 401 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleaven 402 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 2: bread of sincerity in truth. Now, I don't know about you, 403 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: but I've been always told my whole life that these 404 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 2: feasts are Jewish feasts. Well, then why is Paul recommending 405 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 2: to the gentile church to keep it? Matter of fact, 406 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 2: it's not just him reprimanding them. This presupposes that they've 407 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 2: always been keeping it. And these are not Jews. These 408 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 2: are gentiles that are getting saved, that are keeping the 409 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: feast of Passover to remember the death, barrel and resurrection 410 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: of Christ. They're keeping unleaven bread. They're getting levin out 411 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 2: of their house. They are, in symbolism, looking back on 412 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: what Yeshua did and they're memorializing it just like you 413 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: would a birthday and anniversary, like many people do with Christmas, 414 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 2: reminding themselves of the birth of Christ, even though he 415 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 2: was born during the feast of Sukote. But that's a 416 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: whole nother story. I encourage you to watch When was 417 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: Jesus really born if you're interested in that question and 418 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: getting that answer. But back to the topic at hand. 419 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 2: All of the early believers were on God's calendar. It 420 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: would not be until the fourth century when the Roman 421 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: Pontiff came in and changed God's calendar because he didn't 422 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 2: like the Jewish people, and he didn't like the early 423 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: Jewish Christians at all. He and he compromised and he 424 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 2: changed it, and he mixed in the pagan calendar with 425 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: the original calendar of God, and out came a totally 426 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: new calendar that we have today. And so we have 427 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 2: Paul telling the Corinthian Church keep this feast. This by 428 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: default means they were keeping all of the feast. They 429 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: were on God's calendar. They were in sync with the Lord. 430 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 2: Now many of us have learned that these are Jewish feasts, 431 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: but that is not the case at all. Even my 432 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: Jewish friends sometimes I can see them comment saying these 433 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: are Jewish feasts. No they're not. They're not at all. 434 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 2: Read the Bible. It says very clearly in Leviticus twenty three, 435 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 2: which talks about the feast, it says, and the Lord 436 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 2: spoke to Moses same, speak to the children of Israel, 437 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 2: and say to them the feast of Yahweh, the feast 438 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 2: of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy combats. 439 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: These are my feasts, God says, nobody owns my feast. 440 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 2: These are my calendar. These are the feasts that I 441 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: instituted in the garden. When I put the sun, moon, 442 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 2: and the stars in the sky, I put them there 443 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: for signs and for seasons. And that Hebrew word for 444 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: seasons is not spring, summer, winter, fall. It's the moa deem. 445 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 2: It's the appointed feasts of the Lord. It's God's calendar. 446 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: All of the universe was put together so we would 447 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: know when to meet with Him, because they all would 448 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: forecast the first and second comings of His Christ. And 449 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: that's where we are today, my friends. The original plan 450 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 2: of God was anyone that would be called the children 451 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 2: of God would be invited to be part of his calendar, 452 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 2: to meet with him in the days that he prescribed. Now, 453 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: I know emotionally we're all connected to our own calendar, 454 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, it's not about us. 455 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 2: It's not about our memories, not about us defending our 456 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: denominational creeds. It's about us doing Bible things in Bible 457 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: ways and allowing the Spirit of the Living God to 458 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 2: pay to trade our hard hearts to get back to 459 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 2: the humility of just following God the way that he prescribed. 460 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 2: Check this out and we'll end with this. In Ephesians 461 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: chapter two, it says this eleven through thirteen. Therefore, remember 462 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 2: that you once were gentile. So he's talking to the 463 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: gentiles in the flesh who were called uncircumcision by what 464 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hands, 465 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: that at that time you were without Christ. So before Christ, 466 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: you were without Christ, being aliens from the common wealth 467 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 2: of Israel and strangers from the covenants of Promise, having 468 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: no hope, and without God in the world. But now 469 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 2: in Christ Jesus, you who were once far off, have 470 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: been brought near by the blood of Christ. What is 471 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 2: he saying. He's talking to gentiles, and they say, look, 472 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 2: you guys were once outside of the Covenant of Israel. 473 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 2: You could not be part of the common wealth of Israel. 474 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: But through the blood of Christ, you are now allowed 475 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 2: to be part of the common wealth of Israel. And 476 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 2: you are now part of the covenants of Promise. And 477 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: the feast day calendar was part of the covenants of 478 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: Promise that the Roman Church stripped from us. That's why 479 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 2: it says, just a few verses down in verse nineteen. 480 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: Now therefore you are no longer strangers and aliens, which 481 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: is another word for gentiles. That's why he says there's 482 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: no Jew, no gentile, no slave nor free. You're no 483 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: longer gentiles, but fellow citizens with the household of God. 484 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: You are sovereign citizens of God's company and his ecclaca. 485 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 2: And he called it Israel, and Israel simply means those 486 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: who would struggle with God would rule with God. If 487 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit has been working in you to go 488 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: deeper and farther and to go wider in the breath 489 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: of your relationship with Him, then let it be known 490 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 2: this day that if you're not familiar with God's calendar, 491 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: this is one of the beginning steps to getting in 492 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 2: sync in a more profound and intimate way. I'm going 493 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 2: to submit to you that just like the first century 494 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 2: early believers, both jew and Gentile, connected together. We're celebrating 495 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: the resurrection of our Lord and his death brown resurrection 496 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: through fat, the passover Lamb, through the feast of unleaven bread, 497 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: and the resurrection on first fruits, and the Holy Spirit 498 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: coming down on penny cost Hebrew shavuote. I believe we 499 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: should be on God's calendar as well, and I believe 500 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: if you connect with this, if the Holy Spirit is 501 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: igniting something in you to go past the Protestant forefathers 502 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 2: and the traditions and doctrines of men that were passed 503 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 2: down to us from the Roman Church. That was influx 504 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: of nothing but paganism and compromise so that more people 505 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: could convert to Christ. But in the process of that compromise, 506 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 2: we lost the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but 507 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: the truth. As a matter of fact, if you want 508 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 2: to learn more about the prophetic feast days of the Lord, 509 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 2: I have a free PDF download that is a cheat 510 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: sheet that tells you everything you need to know. All 511 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: you have to do is text the word feast day 512 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 2: to eight four four seven sixty three nine read that's 513 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: feast day to eight or four seven sixty three nine 514 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 2: five four three. And so I believe that now is 515 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 2: the time that we get back to doing Bible things 516 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: in Bible ways. So how do we do this? What 517 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 2: does it look like? Well, there was two counting methods 518 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: in the first century of when to count for the 519 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: festival of first fruits? How did that happen? The Pharisee 520 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: way was to count the day after the first day 521 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 2: of unleven bread, so the second day of unleaven bread, 522 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: the sixteenth of Nissan would always be first fruits. But 523 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: according to the Sadducees counting method, they always believe that 524 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 2: the scripture was very plain and clear that the day 525 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: after the Sabbath is the day that you start counting. 526 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 2: The omer, the day that you start counting down towards 527 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: penny cost was the first day of first fruits. That's 528 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: when you're supposed to celebrate it. And they took the 529 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 2: Sabbath as very literal that it's the only sabbath they have. 530 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: It's on Saturday, it's the seventh day of the week. 531 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 2: And that's the counting method that we use today. Traditional Judaism. 532 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 2: Today their calendar, they celebrate Pentecost on a different day 533 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 2: because they use the original pharisaical counting method that we 534 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: choose not to use. Jesus rose from the dead on 535 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 2: the seventeenth of Nissan that year, and it was on 536 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 2: a Sunday, and we believe that's the right day to 537 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: celebrate the feast of First Fruits. Before the creation of 538 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: the heavens and the earth, these dates were already written 539 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 2: before time and their symbolism was secure and in concrete. 540 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: The day of the Resurrection would be the third feast day. 541 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 2: Go figure the third one on his seven day feast calendar. 542 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 2: In all of us are supposed to be on that calendar. 543 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: God did fulfill the first four according to his first 544 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 2: coming of his son, and that means we should remember 545 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 2: those and be passing this memory down to our sons 546 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: and our daughters through celebrating the resurrection through the Feast 547 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: of First Fruits. I encourage you, when all things come 548 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: to a close, that we recognize that the Feast of 549 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: First Fruits is all about the resurrection of Christ. The 550 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,239 Speaker 2: depth of the scriptures of theirs to support it. And 551 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: then God says, this is one of the pilgrimage feasts. 552 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: Check this out. In Deuteronomy chapter sixteen, it says this 553 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: in verse sixteen. Three times in a year, shall all 554 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 2: the males appear before the Lord thy God in the 555 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: place which he shall choose, in the feast of unloving bread, 556 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 2: in the feast of weeks that's Chavuot, or what we 557 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: call Pentecosts, and in the feast of tabernacles, And they 558 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: shall not appear before the Lord empty handed. Every man 559 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: shall give us he is able according to the blessing 560 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 2: of the Lord thy God, which he gives you at 561 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: the end of the day when the sun sets. On 562 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: this topic, this is a critical feast, not only because 563 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: yeshowa Jesus became the first fruits, and he gave his 564 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 2: whole life. He says, in return, you are to come 565 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: before me during this time, and don't come before me 566 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: empty handed. This is our moment that we make an 567 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: offering before God. This is the moment that we seed 568 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: into the Kingdom of God. This is the moment that 569 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: we look into people's lives around us and we feed 570 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: them the unloved bread of sincerity and truth. We look 571 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: for ways to serve, We look for opportunities to kill 572 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 2: our ego, to kill our pride about getting the leaven 573 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: out of our house. It is a symbolic memorial rehearsal, 574 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: a reminder that God sent his only to godden sons 575 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: so that we could live. And now we have the 576 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: opportunity to give to others. We have the opportunity to 577 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 2: seede into the Kingdom of God and the ministry of 578 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 2: Before the Kingdom of God, we have the opportunity to 579 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: see in people's lives and to get outside of ourselves 580 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: and holding onto everything so strong, and to freely give 581 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: whatever God has given you freely give back to Him 582 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 2: into the kingdom. That is the principle of the first 583 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: fruits offering. The moment that Noah landed on Mount Ararat 584 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 2: was the moment that he gave to the world everything 585 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 2: that God had given him, All of the animals, everything 586 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 2: that God had put into that boat was then seated 587 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 2: into the earth, and the earth was repopulated. Let me 588 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: ask you a question, my friends, what are you seeding 589 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: into the earth right now?

What are you doing to increase. What 592 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 2: is the first fruits offering of your life that you 593 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 2: can point to right now and saying this is what 594 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 2: I'm doing to be an asset to the Kingdom of God. 595 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 2: The feast days are incredible. We've gone through Passover, We've 596 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 2: gone through unloved Bread, We've gone through yan Bikreem first Fruits. 597 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 2: Next will be the last one in the first set 598 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: of the spring feast days of the Lord. It's going 599 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 2: to be the Feast of Chavuote, the Prophecy of Pentecost. 600 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that next time. My friends. I'm Jim 601 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 2: Staley with Passion for Truth Ministries, and I'll see you 602 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 2: in the next video.
