Exodus 23:14-1614 "Three times you shall keep a
feast to Me in the year: 15 You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread
(you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of
Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; none shall appear before Me
empty); 16 and the Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors
which you have sown in the
field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors
from the field.

(Second Advent)(First Advent)
Leviticus 23:9-169 And the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, 10 "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you
shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He
shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted on your
behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you
shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the
first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the LORD. 13 Its
grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with
oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD, for a sweet aroma; and its
drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You shall eat
neither bread nor parched grain nor
fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute
forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:6-76 And on the fifteenth day of the
same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD;
seven days you must
1. Noah's Ark rested on Mount Ararat.
Genesis 8:1-51 Then God remembered Noah, and
every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass
over the earth, and the waters subsided. 2 The fountains of the
deep and the windows of heaven were also stopped, and the rain
from heaven was restrained. 3 And the waters receded continually
from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters
decreased. 4 Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the
seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
2. Israel Crosses the Red Sea
Exodus 14:21-3121 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go
back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the
waters were divided. 22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
horsemen. 24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians
through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.
25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the
face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians." 26 Then the LORD
said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back
upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the
sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea
after them. Not so much as one of them remained.
29 But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right
hand and on their left. 30 So the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great work which the LORD had done in Egypt; so the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD and His servant
Moses.
3. Israel Eats the First Fruits of the Promised Land
Joshua 5:10-12 10 So the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at
twilight on the plains of Jericho. 11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover,
unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day. 12
Then the manna ceased on the day
after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that
year.
4. Haman is Defeated
EstherIn the Book of Esther, Haman
plotted to kill all the Jews in Persia and Media. Haman had ten sons.
By this, we can see that
Haman is a type of the false Messiah (antichrist). A decree was sent out on the thirteenth of Nisan that all the Jews would be killed. Upon hearing this news, Esther
proclaims a three-day fast,
which would be Nisan 14-16. On the sixteenth of Nisan, Esther risked
her life when she came to King Ahasuerus. The king asked her, in
effect, "Tell me, what do you want?" Esther replied, "If it seem
good onto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the
banquet that I have prepared for him." This was the sixteenth day of
Nisan. At the banquet, the king again asked Esther what she
wanted, and she asked the king to come to another banquet to be
held the next day, the seventeenth of Nisan. On this day, Haman (a type of the false Messiah or
antichrist, as well as of Satan) is hanged.
5. The Resurrection of Jesus
1 Corinthians 15:16-2016 For if the dead do not rise, then
Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are
still in your sins! 18 Then also
those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable. 20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of
those who have fallen asleep.
4. God used unleaven bread as part of a sacred vow for sanctification and separation. A Nazirite vow.
1. Jesus is the firstborn of Mary
Matthew 1:23-2523 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." 24 Then
Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord
commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her
till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His
name JESUS.
2. Jesus is the First-Begotten of God the Father
Hebrews 1:5-65 For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: “I
will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"? 6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the
world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."
3. Jesus is the Firstborn of every Creature
Colossians 1:15 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
4. Jesus is the First-Begotten from the Dead
Revelation 1:5 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful
witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His
own blood
5. Jesus is the Firstborn of many Brethren
Romans 8:29 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be
the firstborn among many brethren.
6. Jesus is the first fruits of the resurrected ones
1 Corinthians 15:20-2320 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.
7. Jesus is the Beginning of the Creation of God
Revelation 3:14 14 "And to the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful
and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:
8. Jesus is the preeminent One
Colossians 1:18 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the
preeminence.
Psalms 126:5-65 Those who sow in tears Shall reap
in joy. 6 He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for
sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves
with him.
Jude 14-1514 Now Enoch, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord
comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on
all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly
deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the
harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
1. We are called to seek first the Kingdom of God
Matthew 6:3333 But seek first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
2. Those who arose from the dead with Christ during His resurrection became the first fruits of all those
who would rise from the dead.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-1813 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning
those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no
hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we
who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means
precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the
trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with
these words.
3. Jesus first loved us, and He is to be our first love
1 John 4:99 In this the love of God was
manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we
loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another.
