The Feast of Weeks comes 50 days, or seven weeks and a day, after the Sunday within the Week of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:15-21). Our ancestors would make offerings of crops to the Most High and also other offerings. This celebration is also called the Feast of Harvest (Exodus 23:16), Day of Firstfruits (Numbers 28:26), and Pentecost (Acts 2:1).
Always remember, the appointed times that Yah gave our ancestors are ALL a shadow of Yahushua (Jesus) [Colossians 2:17]. This is why the Messiah died on Passover, was in the grave during the week of Unleavened Bread, and three days after His death He rose according to the Firstfruits Sheaf Waving. Then, seven weeks later, He gave the promise of the Spirit to the apostles on Pentecost. This is why the apostle James refers to himself and the other apostles as a kind of firstfruits (James 1:18), fulfilling the Day of Firstfruits in the Messiah.
How to Observe
– This is a sacred gathering of rest (high Sabbath). Take off work and gather with disciples.
– The count of seven Sabbaths since the Firstfruits Sheaf Waving is complete.
– Eat a meal with any clean meat and fresh fruit in season (if you are able, share with someone in need).
