FIRST FRUITS
WITHOUT THE

SIGN OF YONAH?
It is a fact that Yahusha was in the grave for 3
days and 3 nights, as Yonah was in the belly of
the great fish. We know with certainty He was in
the tomb on Abib 15, 16, and 17. The traditional
interpretation among the orthodox rabbis" is the
understanding that First-fruits, the wave-sheaf
offering, is observed only on Abib 16, the "morrow
after the Shabath". They are not thinking of the
weekly Shabath here, but rather the annual day of
rest on the first day of Matsah, the 15th day of the
first moon. If this is correct, and Yahusha did not
present Himself as the wave-offering on Abib 16,
then that would mean His resurrection does not
reflect the First-fruits wave offering. First-fruits
would have no connection to His resurrection.
Thesign of Yonah illuminates the connection
between Passover and First-fruits. These two
things were foreshadowed in the redemptive
feasts, and infused with the sign of Yonah, we
have a three cord rope which affirms them as
evidence of His office of Mashiach.
To observe Abib 16 consistently as the morrow
after the Sabbath will cause us to believe Shabuoth is not actual weeks, but rather random
groups of 7-days that add-up to 49. The morrow
after the 7th Sabbath makes Shabuoth the 50th
day, but the JPS Version* translates it as the
morrow after the 7th week. The error is in the
word underlying week - the word is Sabbath, not
week.

Miryam to touch Him because He had not yet

ascended to present Himself; and this happened well beyond Abib 16 that particular week.
When Yahusha was placed into the tomb, the 15th
of the moon fell on what is today called a Wodens
-day just before sunset, and Thors day of that
week was the annual High Sabbath.
THE SIGN OF YONAH: 3 DAYS & 3 NIGHTS
The sign of Yonah becomes a prominent feature
between Passover and First-fruits. The Pharisees who dont believe in Yahusha dont have
this sign of Yonah, so they err in reckoning the
starting point. After 3 nights and 3 days, at the
close of the weekly Sabbath, He rose from the
dead. The morrow (1st day of the week) after
the Sabbath He presented Himself before Yahuah
as the Wave-Sheaf (First-Fruits) offering, fulfilled
by His resurrection because His body was the
fulfillment represented by the Wave Sheaf. If FirstFruits is not determined by counting from
the weekly Sabbath, and First-Fruits is always
observed on Abib 16, then Yahusha missed
it and did not present Himself as the First-born
(First-Fruits) from the dead at the correct time, and
the sign of Yonah (3 days and 3 nights) failed as
the sign He offered that He is the Mashiach. Yahusha was in the tomb on Abib 16 during Matsah, and did not wave Himself until 3
nights and 3 days after His death and burial. The
reason the Orthodox err in their setting the observance of First-Fruits is that they dont have a
clue that it is a shadow-picture of Yahushas resurrection.
Constantines policies caused Christianity to
severe the Hebrew roots, forbidding his Easter to
fall on Passover. They have no Passover.
Christians also have no observance reflecting the
Wave-Sheaf offering, since Constantine declared
let us have nothing in common with the hostile rabble of the Yahudim.
Sadly, many Natsarim teachers are misinformed
about this also, and they are following the pattern
of those who do not believe Yahusha is the Mashiak of Yisrael (or Yisharal, to rule with Alahim).

The Wave-Sheaf (omer) is "First-Fruits", and is a

shadow of Yahusha's resurrection. The barley
sheaf represents Yahushas resurrected body.
After it was cut down, His body began to move
again (wave).
Yahusha is the wave-offering, and ascended into
the Throne room of the Ancient of Days to present
Himself as First-fruits.
The day of His resurrection, He would not allow *JPS Version: Jewish Publication Society

FIRST-FRUITS - SHADOW OF THE RESURRECTION

APR 5 - On the morrow after the weekly
Shabath during Matsah, Yahusha ascended
to present Himself as First-fruits around 9am.
The Wave-sheaf offering is traditionally
thought of as being Abib 16, and this year it
works out. The count to Shabuoth (7 x 7 complete weeks) is determined by getting this correct. This offering, called the first-fruits, was
fulfilled by Yahusha when He resurrected.
During the festival of Matsah (Unleavened Bread),
the High Priest would wavethe first-fruits of
the barley harvest on the morrow after the
Shabath. Yahusha became the wave-sheaf
offering because the resurrection was the
object, and the wave-sheaf was the shadow.

Hebrew calendars from Torah Institute contain the
true 7-day weeks, and are produced by Orthodox
rabbis. These calendars will use certain inappropriate words such as the name of the month
Tammuz. Also, because they dont recognize
the sign of Yonah, they consistently calculate
the count to Shabuoth from Abib 16, rather than
the Sabbath of the week during Matsah.
