Passover, firstfruits, and waveloaf connection continued

continued from last week

Leviticus 23:15  "And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waveoffering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even onto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meatoffering unto the L-RD.  Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals:"

50 days after the firstfruits(the resurrection of the Messiah from the dead) the new meat offering of two wave loafs was to be offered.  The two wave loaves symbolized the Jews and the Gentiles  50 days after the resurrection of the Messiah the disciples were endued with power from on high and the church (consisting of Jews first and then Gentiles also) began. The message of the completion of the blood atonement and the forgiveness of sin through the blood of the Messiah began to be spread throughout the world.  Acts chapter 2 gives the account of Pentecost.  The firstfruits was also on the first day of the week or Sunday as we know it today.  Messiah rose on Sunday and the church was started on Sunday.
