YOUR INVITATION TO THE WEDDING FEAST: ENGRAFT INTO YISHARAL BY FOLLOWING THE WAY OF

YAHUSHA HAMASHIAK YAHUAHS APPOINTMENTS ARE SHADOWS OF

THINGS TO COME FOR HIS BODY: HIS REDEMPTION PLAN - READ MT 22

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 Sha-buoth 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.

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

Miryam to touch Him because He had not yet ascended to present Himself; and this hap-pened 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 Phari-sees 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 First-Fruits 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 Mashi-ach. Yahusha was in the tomb on Abib 16 dur-ing 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 ob-servance of First-Fruits is that they dont have a clue that it is a shadow-picture of Yahushas resur-rection. 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 hos-tile 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 Mashi-ak of Yisrael (or Yisharal, to rule with Alahim).

Yahusha was impaled during the daylight part of the 14th of the first moon, but He observed this Me-morial with His talmidim the evening before, at the arrival of the 14th. Remember: Passover is not a when, but a Who. YAHUSHA IS OUR PASSOVER.

The Passover was eaten on this night, the beginning of the 15th of the 1st moon, a night of vigil for the slaying of the first-born, and the great deliverance of Yisrael from Mitsrayim from the land of slavery. For 7 days, all Israel is to abstain from leavened bread. This applies to all immersed believers.

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 com-plete weeks) is determined by getting this cor-rect. 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.

SHABUOTH (Hebrew, weeks) 50th day (REST DAY) Sunset May 23 to sunset May 24, 2015 From the morrow after the weekly Sabbath during Matsah, we count 7 intact, true weeks to the morrow after the 7th Sabbath, the mor-row being the 50th day, always falling on the 1st day of a week. THE YAHUDIM CALCULATE FROM ABIB 16 IN THEIR COUNT TO SHABUOTH, YET WE KNOW YAHUSHA WAS IN THE TOMB ON ABIB 16, AND HAD NOT YET RESURRECTED AS FIRST-FRUITS (WAVE SHEAF), but this year Abib 16 is First-fruits.

Shabuoth commemorates the giving of Torah at Sinai, the wedding anniversary of Ya-huah and Israel. Read 10 Commandments. This Covenant is a marriage. TRADITIONALLY CALLED PENTECOST, GREEK FOR COUNT 50. FULFILLED AS RECORDED AT ACTS 2, WHEN TORAH WAS WRITTEN ON HEARTS OF NATSARIM, RENEWING THE COVENANT, RESTORING ISRAEL TO YAHUAH THROUGH THE INDWELLING OF YAHUSHAS SPIRIT. IT IS NOT A BIRTHDAY, IT IS A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a festival, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come for the body of Mashiak."

Col 2:16-17 See also Is 8:20 Some follow new calendars; Enochian, Creation, or other corrected interpretations involving moons. To unite with the older brother, rather than divide, we trust they know how weeks and festivals work, since theres been no change since Yahusha was here.

WE DISTRIBUTE ORTHODOX HEBREW CALENDARS Hebrew calendars from Torah Institute contain the true 7-day weeks, and are produced by Orthodox rabbis. These calendars will use certain inap-propriate 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. The last page will explain this.
