Nisan 16 the firstfruits wave offering a resurrection foreshadow
The feast of First Fruits takes place on the 16 th of Nisan (Lev 23:9-13). For aprox 1500 years Israel practiced this resurrection foreshadow.
Christ was resurrected on the feast of firstfruits (Nisan 16/Jewish calendar).
Firstfruits:
A bundle of 1st blossoms/sheaf/omer of the 1st grains/crop was gathered. The "high priest" (starting at the waist) lifted-up (over his head) & waved the sheaf before God. This action acknowledged God's participation & dedicated the coming wheat harvest to the Lord. This wave/offering before/onto the Lord, sanctified the whole field of harvest to come (Lev 23:9-12).
On the same day, a meat offering: fine flour mingled with oil = Unleavened Bread & a drink offering of Wine (Lev 23:13). The exact symbols Jesus taught us to remember His Sacrifice. Jesus our Bread of Life (Jn 6:48, 35, 51) & our faith in His shed blood that forgives/pardons our sins symbolized by the wine (Matt 26:28, Rom 3:25).
The sheaf/omer wave offering of the barley harvest begins a 50 day count down to Pentecost. Known as "counting of the omer" (Lev 23:15-17) connecting the 2 HARVEST feasts. An omer was a dry measure that amounted to a little over a gallon 1/2
Christ was RAISED-UP (Nisan 16) the firstfruit of resurrection. Setting the stage for the entire human race to be resurrected.
1 Cor 15:20 But now [as things really are] Christ has in fact been raised from the dead, [and He became] the first fruits [that is, the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible, immortal body, foreshadowing the resurrection] of those who have fallen asleep [in death].
Christ was the first to be RESURRECTED.
Col 1:18 He is also the head [the life-source and leader] of the body, the [e]church; and He is the beginning, [f]the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place [He will stand supreme and be preeminent] in everything.
Everyone will be resurrected
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
1 Cor 15:
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
(PARSING: Christ raised 1st - Done)
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
(PARSING: Adams sin receives the death sentence, for himself & ALL humanity. Christ's sin payment will provide EVERY human that died to partake in a resurrection. Some thru faith in Jesus sin atoning payment & resurrection to eternal life with God & Those that reject God & His Christ's sin payment eternal separation from their creator God)
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
(PARSING: Every body dies & EVERYBODY will be resurrected.)
Jn 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Jn 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
BTW Just after Jesus was raised many [the 144k at a minimum/maybe everyone in Abrahams bosom] were also resurrected (Matt 27:50-54). Jesus brings a resurrection/harvest firstfruit offering to the Father
When Jesus physically returns His 1000 yr reign begins Zec chapter 14, Rev 19:11-15, 20:1-8.
After the 1000 yrs there will be the White throne judgment (Rev 20:11). Here ALL that rejected God's offer of forgiveness until life's end/death, will be resurrected & forever separated from the Lords presents.
Believers (sin wage paid by Jesus) will stand at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor 5:10). The discussion here is rewards, NOT, sin/judgment. Even a drink of water given in His name will receive a reward (Matt 10:22)
Revelation 22:12 Jesus said; behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
