First Fruits [Spring Feast]

Spring Feast

Feast of First Fruits

(His Resurrection)

16 Nisan (March/April)
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:
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish
of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Leviticus 23:10,12

SANCTUARY:
Altar of Incense...as the offering was offered up to the Lord, so too are your prayers to be offered up. The altar of incense represents the prayers of the people ascending to God.....in this case Christ ascending from the grave.

NOTES:
This was the day to begin the 50 day countdown to Pentecost. 

This also represents the resurrection of Christ.
