While the Bride of Messiah keeps her lamp trimmed and fills her jar with oil, TODAY we celebrate the Season of our Betrothal to the Bridegroom. It is the Festival of the Ingathering--Shavuot, which is Hebrew for "Weeks." Israel was to count the omer of wheat for 49 days following the Feast of Firstfruits (Resurrection) and on the 50th Day (Pentecost), the celebration would begin.
(Acts 2:1-4)
This is the day Yashua, the Risen Messiah betrothed Himself to His New Covenant Bride. It is the fulfillment of the betrothal of the Jew (Boaz) and the Gentile (Ruth) as the One New Man. We celebrate with two leavened Challah Loaves of Bread according to Torah ~ Leviticus 23:17
"You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord."
~ Leviticus 23:17
