The firstfruits” is a common expression found in both Old and New Testaments. It is used in Scripture with both literal and figurative meanings. So when Paul said Christ was “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20), he was using terminology and imagery rich in history and meaning. At least five kinds of firstfruits can be identified in Scripture: 1. THE FIRST HARVEST In the Old Testament, God commanded His people to give the first and best portions of the harvest as an offering to Him (Ex. 23:16; Neh. 10:35). This included grain (Ex. 23:16; 34:22), olive oil (Num. 18:12; Deut. 18:4), new wine (Num. 18:12; Deut. 18:4), honey (2 Chron. 31:5), sheep wool (Deut. 18:4), fruit (Neh. 10:35), and even their herds and flocks (Deut. 15:19). By giving the firstfruits as an offering to God, the Israelites acknowledged that all the harvest-in fact, everything they had-came from God and belonged to Him. The offering of firstfruits was likewise an expression of faith that something else-the harvest of the rest of the crop-would come later. Therefore, the firstfruits offering acknowledged God’s ownership of everything, expressed thankfulness for His provision, and anticipated what was to come. Firstfruits were given at the Feast of Harvest (Ex. 23:16), the second of three annual festivals. This feast is also known as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost (Ex. 34:22; Num. 28:26). It was normally celebrated seven complete weeks or fifty days after the Passover (Lev 23:16). In the New Testament it is known simply as Pentecost. 2. ISRAEL In a symbolic use of the term, Jeremiah called Israel the firstfruits of God’s harvest. “Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest” (Jer. 2:3). Just as the first and choicest crops were devoted to God, Israel was God’s chosen and set apart people. But the fact that Israel was God’s firstfruits, not His only fruit, also anticipated other peoples and nations coming to the Lord. 3. BELIEVERS In Romans 16:5 and 1 Corinthians 16:15, the first converts of a particular area were called “the firstfruits.” Some translations use the term “first converts,” but literally it is “firstfruits” (KJV), the same word used in 1 Corinthians 15:20. James 1:18 uses the term with reference to believers: “By his choice, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” The new birth we have experienced is only a preview of the day to come when He will make all things new in a new heaven and a new earth. 4. THE HOLY SPIRIT Paul said we “have the Spirit as the firstfruits” (Rom. 8:23). The Holy Spirit is a foretaste, the first installment of our future glory. He is God’s the pledge of more to come in our resurrection life. 5. JESUS When Paul said Jesus is “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor. 15:20), he was drawing an analogy between the Old Testament offering and Jesus’ resurrection. As the Old Testament firstfruits symbolized and consecrated the entire harvest that was to follow, Christ’s resurrection was the foretaste of the resurrection of all believers yet to come. His resurrection is our assurance that one day all believers will be raised from the dead and will receive new, resurrected bodies. LET THERE BE RHEMA WORD
Many people are completely unaware of the facts which have been presented. Numbers chapter 6 verse 24-26 is clearly an allusion to the concept of the Triune Deity found within the Torah. The three fold blessing of YHWH repeated by the Eternal Son of the Most High in St. Matthew chapter 28. Its as clear as a bell...blessed are your eyes that they see......
Lol there is no trinity and that don't even speak of no trinity dude smh you just made that up. Hear, O Israel, The LORD your GOD The LORD IS ONE!!! THERE IS NO THREE PERSONS AT ALL!! NEITHER DOES THE SCRIPTURES SAYS OTHERWISE!! YOU NEED SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM
No, he is correct. There is one God the Father, who has an Eternal Word and an Eternal Spirit. That is the doctrine of the Trinity. The story of the Exodus is filled with this, the Angel who is both with God and is God (and is named as God by Jacob in Genesis 48:15-16) who appears in the bush in Exodus 3, and who God says has His “Name” in Him, and that this Angel will not forgive Israel if they disobey (Exodus 23:20-26). God switches to speak of God in the second person to speak of this Angel going before them and blessing them and then goes back to Himself. Same for Exodus 34:5-7, Jehovah descending in the cloud, then standing with Moses and then declaring the name of Jehovah in the third person. That is the Word descending in the power of the Holy Spirit (the cloud in the OT is a reference to the presence of God, the Holy Spirit) to speak of the Father. Ancient Judaism struggled with this idea a lot, how there is one God, yet sometimes He would seem like He was in multiple places interacting with Himself throughout the Old Testament. Scholar Michael Heiser wrote a lot about this, as do a lot of scholars in Ancient Judaism. They are not three gods. It is One God with His Word (His Memra) and His Holy Spirit (glory and presence), His perfect Image/Reason and His Living Breath. The Father acts through His Word in the power of His Spirit in perfect unity and will, without distinction or separation, the same way that a Mind has a Will, Intellect and Emotion, yet is one without distinction. Jesus having a different will in Gethsemane comes from the Incarnation and taking upon human nature, and is not an eternal feature of the Word. The Trinity is consistent with the Old Testament and with the Shema, if that’s the understanding that you have.
