Pentecost 1995—“Day 49 to Pentecost”—June 3, 1995

“Now Verse 9: ‘And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it’ (vs. 9-11).  Now that is the morrow after the Sabbath during the Passover / Feast of Unleavened Bread.  Now we just recently sent out three booklets covering that:  Understanding God’s Command for the Wave Sheaf,  Count to Pentecost, The Morrow After Which Sabbath?, and The True Meaning of Acts 2:1.  So we’re not going to get into all the details of those except to say that in Joshua 5 you have the fulfillment of this.  And you need to read that whole booklet because that happened on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread when they waved that first wave sheaf when they crossed over Jordan into the Promised Land. 

“Now notice, He says here, ‘When ye be come into the land…’, so this was not to happen until they took possession of the land.  So they did not have the wave sheaf offering all during the time that they were wandering in the wilderness because they hadn’t come into the land.  I am sure that they were celebrating Pentecost in observance of the memorial of receiving of the Ten Commandments.  But they had no firstfruits harvest to offer with it” (Coulter, “Day 49 to Pentecost,” June 3, 1995, p. 8).
