Christ Is Firstfruits Of The Resurrection
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a feast that is often mistaken for Passover. Passover is one 24 hour period, while the Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is also a rest day where no work is to be done. That would also exclude attending a grave site to prepare a body on the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Passover was always on the Seventh Day of Rest, Preparation Day was always the day before, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was always the day after the Sabbath Day of Rest and the Passover. A biblical definition of firstfruits would include the first of most anything that come from the ground or animals. The people would bring a ceremonial sheaf (bundle) of grain from the field, for the wave offering. The offering was a ceremonial bundle offering, and not a bringing of the harvest from the field, to the temple.
The biblical calendar is a 364 day a year calendar, which places the holidays on the same day of the week every year. When Christ was hung on the stake, both calendars were in use; the Biblical Calendar, and the Civil Hebrew Calendar. Which calendar do you think Christ and the disciples used; the Biblical Calendar, or the Civil Hebrew Calendar?
All three of these holidays involved firstfruit offerings at the Temple.
Passover was in the early spring, and it included firstfruits from the first harvest of barley.
Shavuot was in the late spring, and it included firstfruits from the wheat harvest. Among the many different offerings given, was a "wave offering" of two loaves of leavened bread. This was also a firstfruits offering.
Sukkot was in the fall, and it was the final harvest which included firstfruits of olives and grapes.
The feast day of Unleavened Bread was always on a Sunday when using the Biblical Calendar. That particular Sunday was also a REST DAY where no work was to be done. The women would not have attended his body that day because it was against the law.
Luke 23:56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread
Exodus 12:16
On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.
1 Corinthians 15:20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:23
But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
The Firstfruits offering was on the day after Unleavened Bread.
Unleavened Bread Firstfruits Sheaf Wave
Leviticus 23:6 On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 8 For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”
Offering the Firstfruits
9 The Lord said to Moses, 10 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest. 11 He is to wave the sheaf before the Lord so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
Passover Sabbath
Mark 16:1
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob, and Salome, they (had / AIT) bought spices so that they might go to anoint Yahshua's body.
Luke 23:56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandments.
Luke 24:1
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
The word "day" is not in the original text.
John 19:40
Taking Yahshua’s’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
Christ resurrection was the first part of the week, not the first day.
Resurrection
The first day of the week to the Jews is Sunday. The first day of the week to the Romans was Monday. The first day of the week after the two holy days is Monday. The seventh day Sabbath was about to begin when Christ died on the stake.
Matthew 28:1
After the Sabbath, [plural] at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
"first day of the week" According to who or what? If Matthew 28 is addressing Romans, then it may mean Monday. And if it is speaking of being after the holy days of rest, then that also would be Monday. That Saturday and Sunday were both holy days. It was against biblical law for the women to attend Christ grave that Sunday.
In Satan worship Sunday is his day. The Sabbath of the lord was Sunday. Satan was also called lord, and Sunday was his day. Just a trivial note.
Scripture says "three days" and "three nights." There is no doubt from what is written that Christ died just before sundown on Friday the 13th. Three days and three nights from Friday before sundown would be:
Night 1 - Friday night
Day 1 - Saturday
Night 2 Saturday night
Day 2 - Sunday
Night 3 - Sunday night
Day 3 - Monday
Putting the resurrection at Monday before sundown.
First fruits was observed the third day after Passover and the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
