Jesus is our Example
Watch and learn from He did and does
Watch and learn through His pure motives
Watch and learn by the Spirit He acts upon
He is also our Reason
He is the reason we have a relationship with the Father
He is the reason we have access to God in prayer
He is the reason we see God’s grace in our lives
He is the reason we have eternal life
He is the reason we will be resurrected!
The Principle Taught
The feast of firstfruits was the third of seven annual feasts celebrated by the Jews.
It was associated with the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread.
It was kept on the morrow after the Sabbath.
In other words, it was associated with the first day of the week.
The Lord Jesus was in the tomb on the Sabbath after Passover.
He rose from the dead the next day, the day the priest took a sheaf of corn from the field and waved it over the whole field as a token that the whole harvest would eventually be reaped.
Thus this feast pointed forward to the very day of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
Reaping of the harvest - 3 stages (Lev 23):
Firstfruits - sheaf of corn and wave it before the Lord
Great harvest - main harvest time
Gleanings - this would be for those poor, widows, and fatherless
This correlates to what the Bible calls the first resurrection:
3 Parts:
Lord’s resurrection
Rapture - 1 Thess 4:13-18
Resurrection of those saved during the Tribulation
God gave the Levites instruction to take a sheaf of corn!
This was the firstfruit sheaf!
This is us in rapture!
Why is this necessary?
Paul links here 2 events:
Adam’s sin
Rom 5:12
Jesus’ resurrection
This is why Jesus had to be fully man AND fully God
This is why Jesus was conceived in a virgin’s womb
He became truly man without ceasing to be God.
Had He not been truly man, in every sense of the word, He could not have died, been buried, and been raised again.
Had He not been God, in every sense of the word, the life He laid down on the cross of Calvary would have been but a finite life and inadequate to atone for the sins of the entire human race.
Paul clearly saw the connection between the ruin introduced into human history by Adam and the Resurrection assured for all the redeemed by another man, Jesus.
There is a process that is explained in the law for this to appropriately be done
Kinsman-redeemer
Told in the story of Boaz regarding Ruth
Ruth 2:20
This role was to purchase, propagate, and protect.
In order to enter into this role he needed 3 things:
Resources to redeem
Ruth 2:1
Resolve to redeem
Ruth 3:18-4:6
Right to redeem
Ruth 2:1
Boaz, as a picture or type of Christ, is our Kinsman-Redeemer
Right to redeem
This is why Jesus needed to born physically as man
We can all trace our ancestry back to Adam
When we get saved, God puts us “in Christ”.
So, by natural birth we are born subject to the curse, by new birth we are born again, born from above, born of the Spirit, born of God, born subject to new life in Christ.
Resolve to redeem
Is 50:7
Resources to redeem
Our Kinsman-Redeemer redeemed us by purchase, on the cross of Calvary, and by power, when He arose from the dead having smitten the enemy with His deathblow.
We were redeemed by purchase at His first coming; we shall be redeemed by power at His second coming.
There would be small satisfaction in His having effected our purchase if He did not have the power to expel the enemy from our property, now His purchased possession.
That is one reason why the millennial reign is essential.
The Lord fully intends to take over the property He has purchased as well as the people He has purchased.
The Prophecy Foretold
Then speaks of “then, after an interval”
Tribulation
Rev and Matthew 24
Jesus will reign from Jerusalem for an an entire millenium
Satan, the Beast, and the False Prophet will put down by might and power of Jesus Christ
Satan will be defeated once again at the end of the millenial rule and reign of Jesus
10 Centuries of peace
Jesus will be the Prince of Peace ruling with a rod iron
The Sermon on the Mount will be fulfilled completely and fully as normal life in these years
The Bible will be the core of every curriculum
Fruitfulness that has never been experienced since the fall of Adam
Pilgrimages to Jerusalem will include a tour of the dread Valley of Hinnom as people will see the terrible end of those who defy the Lord
The desert will blossom.
The harvests will be bountiful.
Spirit-filled and anointed men and women will teach the arts and sciences.
It will be an age of peace, prosperity, and progress unlike anything mankind has experienced before.
It seems incredible people will grow tired of it.
But, in the end, there will be a widespread revolt.
Satan will be released and men by the million will flock to his standard.
For as time goes on, more and more millions of people will be born who do not get born again.
They grow up unregenerate.
As children, who grow up in Christian homes sometimes become “gospel hardened,” so people growing up in the millennial earth will become “glory hardened.”
In ever increasing numbers the unregenerate will begin to murmur against the inflexible laws of the kingdom.
Memory of what the world was like when “sin reigned and death by sin” will fade.
Millions, born during the Golden Age, will have no more memory of the miseries and horrors of premillennial times than children born today have of the First World War.
People born, but not born again, will find themselves with passions they cannot express, with sin natures they cannot indulge.
Increasingly a spirit of rebellion will smolder.
The malcontents, afraid to express their lusts and longings openly, will begin to congregate at the far reaches of the planet, as far from the central Glory as possible.
There they will nurse their growing hatred for holiness and godliness.
Then, Satan will be released from his prison (Rev.
20:7–10).
The rebels will hail him as a savior, one who can emancipate them from the hated reign of righteousness.
They will flock to his banners.
