The Feast of Weeks falls exactly fifty days from the Feast of First Fruits. That’s seven Sabbaths and one day after. This Holy day is also known as Pentecost which means fifty.
Acts 2
1-4. ‘And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
Where did the Feast of Weeks come from?
Fifty days after the Feast of Firstfruits is the Feast of weeks a.k.a. Pentecost. This day was the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest. Israelites would bring the first fruits of the beginning of the harvest to the Lord. The offering was both a sin offering (blood of the lamb) and a wave offering (two leavened bread loaves).
How does the Feast of Weeks represent Jesus?
This was the day that Jesus sent his Holy Spirit to his disciples. They were the second harvest first fruit because the Holy Spirit gave them new life and from that day on they began to preach the gospel. The two loaves represent the Jew and Gentile becoming one under the blood of the lamb.
