Firstfruits
The morrow after the Sabbath, 8 days after the resurrection.
Firstfruits is not the morrow after the Sabbath in Unleavened Bread. It is the morrow of the Sabbath after the barley harvest — after the feast of Unleavened Bread. Messiah rose as the firstfruit of them that slept; eight days later He is presented before the Father as a wave offering, just as a son born is circumcised on the eighth day. The wave sheaf is that presenting: the harvest accepted because He is accepted.
All appointed timesWhen 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.

Walk it out
- Give the first of your increase, not the leftover.
- Read Leviticus 23:10-11 and 1 Corinthians 15.
- Remember: eight days after He rose, He stood accepted before the Father.

The Sabbath and the Day After
The seventh day is the Sabbath unto the LORD — a day to stay in place. The day after is the day He marked for firstfruits, Pentecost, and resurrection. One does not replace the other.

Appointed times are not optional extras. They are His feasts, in their season, and they still train a holy people.
