Once the new year is determined, but before it begins; remove any tithes from your dwelling
making certain they are given properly. Speak the associated blessing over your home and family. (Deut 14:22-29, Deut
26:12-15)
The progression of days in the first month of GOD'S
CALENDAR are as follows: New moon- 1st day begins the evening of April 4th 2011. The 10th day,
April 14th, buy your lamb or goat. On the 14th day, April 18th Passover commences at twilight, beginning the feast of Unleavened
Bread. The 1st and 7th days of the feast are Sabbaths (Lev 23:1-14)(Ex 12:1-20).
The 1st day of Unleavened Bread is a sabbath no matter what day of the week it falls on. To
make your first fruit offering, wait till the weekly Sabbath, (April 23rd). The next day, April 24th; offer the First Fruit
offering. This is the day after the Sabbath. To begin Your count to Pentecost start from the Sabbath, April 23rd (the day
before) to count 50 days or omers, 7 cycles of 7 plus 1. An omer was the measure of manna given 1 person for 1 day thus 1
omer = 1 day. 50 days brings us to the conclusion of The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. The 50th day will begin June 11,2011
at sunset! These instructions are found in Leviticus 23:15-21.
The First Fruit offering for Pentecost is found in Lev 23:17. Two raised loafs of bread made with leaven
are to be waived before the Lord on that day. They are then to be consumed by the priest who waived them and his family. The
symbolism of this prophetic act is as follows. On the day after the sabbath,the first fruit waive offering was made. It represented
the first ripe of the harvest and what the rest of the harvest will become.

Cor 15:20-24 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have
fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who
are Christ's at His coming.
Rom 11:16 For
if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Christ was raised up before God on the day after the Sabbath guaranteeing the Father a harvest of
righteous souls from the earth. 50 days later the promise of the Father came upon those gathered in the upper room and 3000
were added to the church that day! The two loaves represent the finished work of Christ; the Jew and Gentile raised up together
before the Lord.
