We are Scripturally informed that we will be raised up (resurrected) on The Last Day. What 2 significant Last Days are ahead for Israel before Shavuot (Pentecost) in 2020? First is Torah Calendar Omer Day 41 on 5-19 to 20, Ascension Anniversary of the Messiah, which was for Him on Planet Earth, His Last Day. This year it is Day 5 of the Spiritual Week and 3 days before Shabbat. A Third Day. What is the other Last Day? On 5-27 to 28 is the COMPLETION of the 7 times 7 weeks in The Counting of the Omer, per Leviticicus 23. Day 5 of the Spiritual Week, it will be an Israel State Holiday, Independence Day. Above all, it shall be symbolically THE LAST DAY OF THE BARLEY SEASON FOR ISRAEL! This season began at Feast # 3 of the 7 Feasts of Elohim called Yom Ha Bikkarim. This is important for 2 major reasons: The Feast of the First Fruits of Barley (#1 of the 7 crops, the 7 species of Israel), and the Messiah’s Resurrection Anniversary. An Omer of what grain? The answer is vitally significant. BARLEY! Not wheat. The Messiah was and is the symbolic First Fruits (Head) of the barley harvest. His bride / body is the completion, the fullness, of His bride harvest, His complement unto fullness. ALL this is barley associated. Again read Leviticus 23. Mentioned first is the 7 times 7 weeks, only then is the 50 mentioned. First, then second follows.

 

   The wheat harvest, # 2 grain harvest after the #1 barley, begins symbolically for Israel ONLY when 7 times 7 weeks is begun or ended on Day 49. Yes, some daily count the Omer just after a new day begins at sunset where they are, not waiting until morning. At Day 49  begun at sunset, the Omer Barley Count Up is complete, full, and fulfilled. Shavuot (Pentecost) on Day 50 is linked to wheat. There were 2 loaves of leavened bread offered as uplifted / wave offerings at the Temple at Jerusalem. Which grain? No longer barley. Not a barley – wheat mixture. Only wheat. Until Day 49 of The Counting of the Omer,  the world will have symbolically remained at Lamp #3 of the 7 Lamps of the Menorah, since Feast #3 of Yom Ha Bikkarim. STILL IN THE SEASON OF BARLEY UNTIL DAY 49! On Day 50 , the lit Lamps go to Lamp #4, the Midst of the Menorah Lamp, the Shavuot (Pentecost) Lamp, the Servant Lamp, the special UPRAISED Messiah’s Lamp of all the 7.

 

   Many are eagerly looking forward to assorted dates for Shavout (Pentecost) 2020. On The Torah Calendar it shall be 5-28 to 29, Day 6 of the Spiritual Week. After 2 days of Israel State Holidays, it will be The Third Day. Let us consider preparing to WATCH for the Messiah as 7 times 7 weeks (See Leviticus 23) unfolds as Israel goes to sunset when her new day begins, then to the Midnight Hour, into the Night Watches on 5-27-2020. There really seems to be A PROFOUND SPIRITUAL MARKER, Divider, and Separator BETWEEN Days 1-49 Barley and Day 50 Wheat for Israel! There is a minor commandment, part of mitsvoh, in the Torah. Do not MIX SEED, create seed mixtures! The Lesson? DO NOT COMBINE BARLEY AND WHEAT! Keep them separate. They are the 2 grain harvests for Israel. The #2 is about division, about separation. Keep SEPARATE Days 1-49, then Day 50.

 

   Remember also the Parable of the Goodman of His House. He intended to prepare and to watch for the thief in the night, the man he really expected to arrive soon. TOO LATE! The treasures of his home get spirited away. No redress for this father in mourning, he did a botch job. No instant replay. The thief did come in the night “At a time you think not” and the man had wrongly presumed he had the luxury of more time to prepare and watch. He bitterly learned, TOO LATE WAS BEYOND REMEDY.  Blessed is “the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles” in 2020. AWAITING…
