Ordering the first 70 days of God's calendar

Passover,Unleavened bread,First Fruits

Once the new year is determined, but before it begins; remove any tithes from your dwelling making certain they are given properly. Speak the associated blessing over your home and family. (Deut 14:22-29, Deut 26:12-15)

The progression of days in the first month of GOD'S CALENDAR are as follows: New moon- 1st day began the evening of the March 27th,2009. A video link is available to view the Aviv moon sighting with us above this article. The 10th day, April 6th, buy your lamb or goat. The 14th day, April 10th at twlight; Passover begins the feast of Unlevened Bread. The 1st and 7th days of the feast are Sabbaths (Lev 23:1-14)(Ex 12:1-20).

The 1st day of Unleavened Bread is a sabbath no matter what day of the week it falls on. Wait for the weekly Sabbath. The next day, April 12th; offer the First Fruit offering the day after the Sabbath. Begin from the Sabbath, (the day before) to count 50 days or omers, 7 cycles of 7 plus 1. An omer was the measure of manna given 1 person for 1 day thus 1 omer = 1 day. 50 days brings us to Pentecost, May 31, 2009! Pentecost is also known as the Feast of Weeks. These instructions are found in Leviticus 23:15-21.

The First Fruit offering on Pentecost is found in Lev 23:17. Two raised loafs of bread made with leaven are to be waived before the Lord on that day. They are then to be consumed by the priest who waived them and his family. The symbolism of this prophetic act is as follows. On the day after the sabbath,the first fruit waive offering was made. It represented the first ripe of the harvest and what the rest of the harvest will become.

1 Cor 15:20-24 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming.

Rom 11:16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Christ was raised up before God on the day after the Sabbath guaranteeing the Father a harvest of rightous souls from the earth. 50 days later the promise of the Father came upon those gathered in the upper room and 3000 were added to the church that day! The two loaves represent the finished work of Christ; the Jew and Gentile raised up together before the Lord.
