The Sheaf Of The Firstfruits!

[Latuwr]

Hi Everyone,
Blessings to you through Messiah Yahushua, My YAHWEH and My ELOHIM!
Shabbat Shalom!
My Messiah Yahushua made this statement concerning HIS purpose and role:
Matthew 5:17-20
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
It is commanded in the Law:
Leviticus 23:9-11
9 And YAHWEH spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before YAHWEH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Moreover, it is further commanded in the Law:
Leviticus 23:14
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your ELOHIM: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Accordingly, it is written concerning the Children of Israel:
Joshua 5:10-12
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
I understand from Joshua's account that the above Passover fell on the weekly Sabbath Day because the Children of Israel could not eat of the fruit of the Land until the Sheaf of the Firstfruits had first been waved. By Law, this Sheaf must be waved on the morrow after the Sabbath.
The Pharisees taught that the Sheaf of the Firstfruits should be waved on the morrow after the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which was a high Sabbath Day. The Sadducees taught that the Sheaf of the Firstfruits should be waved on the morrow after the weekly Sabbath that fell during the Days of Unleavened Bread.
Passover Day, that is, the 14th Day of the month of Abib, is not a Sabbath Day; therefore, the practice of Joshua's Israel indicates that the Sadducees were correct and that the Pharisees were wrong about which Sabbath Day the Sheaf of the Firstfruits should be waved. Joshua's Israel could not have eaten of the parched corn of the Promised Land on the morrow after the Passover unless that Passover actually fell on the weekly Sabbath Day. Accordingly, the first waving of the Sheaf of Firstfruits occurred on the 15th day of Abib which is a high Sabbath Day. Of course, this high Sabbath happened that year to also be the first day of the week, that is, Sunday.
In fulfilling the Law, which practice did Messiah Yahushua follow? Did Messiah fulfill the Law according to the teaching of the Pharisees, or did Messiah fulfill the Law according to the teaching of the Sadducees? Of course, being a Tzaddik, you know where I stand on this issue.
Thanking in advance anyone that should be moved to reply or give answer, I am,

I Am A Spy!

Hi Everyone,
Blessings to you through Messiah Yahushua, My YAHWEH and My ELOHIM!
Shabbat Shalom!
I am a spy who am sent to search out the Promised Land. Initially, I did not know that My Messiah Yahushua was HIMSELF this Land. My search began by first looking at two issues, namely, whether or not man possessed an immortal soul which survived physical death, and whether or not I, a New Testament Christian, was obligated to remember the weekly Sabbath Day to keep it holy. I exhaustively studied the Word of ELOHIM on these two issues, and I discovered that man does not possess an immortal soul; rather, man himself is a living soul which is not immortal. Every soul dies because of sin; therefore, every soul is mortal.
If death comes to every soul through sin, then I found that it behooves living souls to learn what sin is, that is, should living souls have any desire to avoid physical death and to continue to live. Seeking, I learned that sin is two things, namely, sin is transgression of the Law, and sin is also anything not done in the faith of My Messiah Yahushua.
I saw that YAHWEH ELOHIM HIMSELF commanded that the weekly Sabbath Day, that is, the traditional Jewish Sabbath Day, should be remembered and kept separate or holy so I, desiring to live, began to celebrate Saturday as the weekly Sabbath Day. I made this decision simply because I believed YAHWEH ELOHIM.
Almost immediately after making this decision, My Messiah Yahushua revealed to me that HE was the Red Heifer of Numbers 19. I saw that all of mankind unknowingly participated in this ritual through our sin, and that all of us were made unclean through our participation. Having been defiled by HIS death, we all have need of the sprinkling of the water of separation by a clean man for our cleansing. This clean man is My Messiah Yahushua. Clearly, the resurrection of the body cleanses the body from the defilement of death so I understood that the resurrected Messiah Yahushua by virtue of HIS resurrection must sprinkle the unclean on the 3rd and 7th days of the days of purification because My Messiah lives as the only clean man. All other men have been defiled through HIS death and burial, and, thus, all men have need of the sprinkling which cleanses from the defilement of physical death and leads to continued life.
What say you? Do you yourself desire to live and not physically die?

Latuwr,

re: "Thanking any in advance that should be moved to reply..."

I wouldn't count on it. Most of the topics have hundreds of views and virtually zero replies. Or am I missing something?

Welcome To Tzaddikim

Hi Rstrats,
Blessings to you through Messiah Yahushua, My YAHWEH and My ELOHIM!
You commented:
"I wouldn't count on it."
I don't count, and I don't discount. You found your way here. Others may also. I see that you are old enough to have had some good life experiences. What is the greatest lesson that you think that you have thus far learned in your life? I am surprised considering your age that you made no direct attempt to answer my closing question above:
"What say you? Do you yourself desire to live and not physically die?"
Lately, I have been posting on Lo Ammi Forum. If not here, then maybe there!
Thanking you in advance should you be moved to reply, I am,
Sincerely, Latuwr
