A New Revelation of the Feasts and First Fruits in the Tribulation

A New Revelation of the Feasts and First Fruits in the Tribulation..

The Lord is unveiling a profound revelation about the first fruits, one that has remained hidden for generations but is now being revealed to His people. This understanding is not the mainstream interpretation, which overlooks the depths of God’s plan to unite Jew and Gentile through the fulfillment of the feasts. Rather, it is a divine mystery, given to those with ears to hear and hearts ready to testify that it comes from the Spirit of God.

A Fresh Revelation: The Mystery of the First Fruits..

This understanding of the first fruits—especially the symbolism behind the barley, wheat, summer fruits, and the process of baking—differs significantly from traditional interpretations. While many see these feasts as pointing merely to events in the past or to the future restoration of Israel, this fresh revelation uncovers a deeper mystery. It speaks to the unity of Jew and Gentile, the coming together of the Bride and the 144,000, in a corporate body that has never before been seen. This mystery has been hidden but is now being revealed to those with the Spirit of discernment.

The traditional understanding of the first fruits often fails to account for the prophecy of the two sticks in Ezekiel 37, which speaks of the union of Israel and Judah, and the role of the 144,000 in this process. This new interpretation brings clarity to how the 144,000, together with the Gentile Bride, will be united as one body at the mid-tribulation rapture. The Bride will be taken up, refined, and made spotless, just as the bread dough is kneaded, refined, and prepared. It is a mystery revealed for such a time as this.

As we reflect on this revelation, we are reminded that the anointing of the Holy Spirit will give testimony to these truths. Those who are filled with the Spirit will recognize the timing and significance of these events, and they will testify to the world that this message is from God. This is not just a theological insight—it is a call to prepare spiritually, to be refined, and to unite as one body, ready for the coming of our Lord..

Passover: The Waving of the Barley Sheaf..

At Passover, the waving of the barley sheaf marks the first of the first fruits and foreshadows the Ascension of Jesus Christ. This was the moment when the first fruit of God's plan for redemption ascended into heaven, just as the barley grain was offered to God as a symbol of what was to come. This moment signals a new beginning—a season of planting, of promise, and of divine purpose being fulfilled.

Pentecost: The Waving of Two Loaves of Wheat..

Pentecost, with its two loaves of wheat, points to two significant fulfillments in God’s timeline. The first loaf represents the first Pentecost in 70 AD, the beginning of the church age, when the Holy Spirit was poured out, and the first fruits of the harvest were gathered. But the second loaf speaks to a future Pentecost, one that will be realized at the rapture of the Bride and the 144,000, when they are united as one corporate body—a spotless, unified bride presented before Christ.

Tabernacles: The Bringing of the Basket of Summer Fruits..

At Tabernacles, the bringing of a basket of summer tree fruits symbolizes the final harvest and God’s provision, pointing to the fulfillment of His Kingdom on Earth during the Millennium. Just as the fruits represent the completion of the harvest, the Millennium marks the culmination of God's redemptive plan, where Christ reigns and peace is restored. This moment foreshadows the ultimate gathering of God's people when His presence dwells fully with them, and His promises are realized.

The Prophetic Significance of the First Fruits and the Bread-Making Process..

The appointed times of first fruits each hold profound significance in God’s redemptive timeline. The barley sheaf reflects the past, symbolizing Jesus' earthly ministry and ascension. The basket of summer fruits points to the future, representing the fulfillment of God's Kingdom during the Millennium. The waving of the two loaves of wheat, however, speaks to the present, foreshadowing the events of Daniel’s 70th week and the approaching tribulation. To fully grasp the Revelation of the Feasts and First Fruits in relation to the Tribulation, we must consider the process of bread-making, which illuminates the spiritual journey of the Bride as she undergoes refinement and preparation to be fully in Christ.

The Bread-Making Process: Refinement Through Tribulation..

In biblical times, the process of making bread was not only a practical necessity but also a symbolic act filled with spiritual significance. It began with the flour being sifted to remove impurities, ensuring that only the finest, purest particles remained. This act of sifting symbolized the refining and anointing process, where impurities were removed, mirroring the spiritual purification that God’s people endure through trials. The first stage of the process, sifting, occurs at the start of the tribulation, a time when God’s people, through the power of the Holy Spirit, are shielded from the worst of the chaos. Just as flour is sifted to remove impurities, so too will the Bride be spiritually prepared for the trials ahead. During this time, believers will experience spiritual refinement, and the impurities of the world will be stripped away, making them ready for the next phase of God’s plan. After sifting, the flour was mixed with water and kneaded to form dough, representing the shaping of the individual for God’s purposes. Once kneaded, the dough was baked, completing the transformation from raw grain to bread, ready for nourishment. The final step of baking, often involving intense heat, parallels the trials and testing that refine believers’ faith, preparing them for their ultimate purpose. Each step in the bread-making process, from harvesting to baking, reflects the careful, intentional work of God in purifying and preparing His people for His glory.

The wheat must be sifted and kneaded before it is baked. Just as the Bride is refined, so too the wheat is prepared. It’s one of the few times in Scripture where leaven, which typically symbolizes sin, is used in a positive light. In this case leaven is used to represents the trials and refinement the Bride undergoes. As the flour is sifted, it parallels the process of spiritual refinement that God’s people go through in the last days, beginning with the first escape of protection by the Holy Spirit at the onset of the tribulation.

The second stage, kneading, symbolizes the mid-tribulation rapture, when the Bride and the 144,000 are united as one body, forming the first fruits fully unified with Christ. This moment signifies the Bride's complete purification and readiness to stand before Him. Together, as the “man-child,” they embody the Spirit of Elijah and the Order of Melchizedek, sealed and protected as they are lifted into the heavenly realm. This event serves as a divine rescue, fulfilling God’s promise to protect His people and gather them to Himself before His Wrath is poured out on the earth. The kneading process, in this sense, symbolizes the spiritual shaping and strengthening of the Bride, preparing her for the final ascension.

The third and final phase of the bread-making process is baking, which mirrors the Second Coming of Christ. The dough, now fully prepared and risen, is ready to be placed in the oven. This step symbolizes the final stage of the Bride’s transformation. After being raptured and matured in New Jerusalem, the Bride will be brought to completion. Christ will return to judge and reign, bringing with Him the fullness of the Kingdom of God. Just as the heat in the oven refines and perfects the dough, the fiery trials of the end times will refine believers, preparing them for their glorified state when Christ returns.

Through each stage — from sifting to kneading to baking — we see a reflection of God’s work in His people. The process of making bread serves as a powerful metaphor for the purification, shaping, and final glorification that believers will experience as they await the return of their Savior. Just as bread is formed from simple ingredients into something nourishing and life-giving, so too will the Bride be perfected, ready to serve and reign with Christ in the eternal Kingdom.

Kneading the Dough: Uniting Jew and Gentile..

In the kneading process, we see the union of the Bride and the 144,000 into one body. Kneading represents more than just the physical act of combining ingredients; it symbolizes the deep, spiritual union of Jew and Gentile in Christ. The Bride, composed of Gentiles, and the 144,000, made up of the twelve tribes of Israel, are brought together in one corporate body—a unity that can only be achieved by the Holy Spirit, who ties them together.

The dough requires water to bind it. In Scripture, water often represents the Holy Spirit, and just as the dough is reliant on water, so too is the Church reliant on the latter rain of the Holy Spirit. This outpouring is a key part of the latter-day revival, preparing the Bride and the 144,000 for the coming rapture. The water that binds the dough symbolizes the Holy Spirit's work in gathering, refining, and uniting God's people in preparation for Christ’

Kneading to Ascension: The Rapture and the Bread of Life..

The process of kneading dough and its transformation into bread offers profound spiritual and literal parallels to the rapture as a "going up" and Jesus' Second Coming as a "coming down." Through the bread-making process, we can see how God shapes His people for what is to come—spiritual preparation, glorification, and the fulfillment of His plan.

Kneading and Shaping: The Work of the Spirit..

Kneading the dough is the beginning of a transformation. It's the work of the baker, kneading and shaping the dough to make it elastic and ready for its final purpose. In the same way, the Holy Spirit works in the Bride and the 144,000, shaping them for their ultimate ascension. When leaven is added to the dough, it begins to rise, much like the believers being "lifted up" during the rapture. The leaven activates a process within the dough, causing it to rise, symbolizing how the Holy Spirit works within the hearts of believers, preparing them to meet Christ in the air.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, it’s written, “And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” Just as leaven fills dough with air, lifting it higher, the Spirit fills the hearts of believers, preparing them for their "lifting up" to meet Christ.

The Time of Preparation: Rising and Waiting..

But, just as dough must rise to its full potential before it’s placed in the oven, so too must the Bride undergo spiritual refinement before the rapture. This time of waiting, of preparation, is essential. It’s not about rushing the process, but about being ready when the time comes. The dough must rise just right, and believers must be spiritually prepared in obedience and readiness.

Baking the Dough: The Second Coming..

The final stage of bread-making is baking, and this represents the Second Coming of Christ. Just as the dough, once kneaded and perfected, is placed into the oven to bake, so too will the Bride, after her purification and rapture, be prepared to meet Christ in glory. This final “baking” will occur when Jesus returns to establish His Kingdom on earth, bringing the fullness of God’s redemptive plan into completion. The Bride, having been raptured, will mature in New Jerusalem, fully formed and ready for the eternal reign with Christ.

Baking as Glorification: The Bride’s Perfection..

Baking the dough represents the next stage in the process, symbolizing transformation and completion. The oven, in this context, reflects the heavenly realm or the New Jerusalem, where the Bride will be lifted. In ancient times, bakers often placed dough in elevated ovens, physically lifting it up—much like believers will be taken up to heaven. Interestingly, modern ovens, with their cubic shape, resemble the New Jerusalem, described in Scripture as a tesseract-like structure where the first fruits are taken up to heaven.. It’s a sign of completion, a final step before perfection. In 1 Corinthians 15:52-53, we read, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet...the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.” The oven represents the place where believers are perfected, just as the dough becomes bread through the heat.

The heat in the oven symbolizes the glorification of the Bride. Just as the heat in the oven refines and solidifies the bread, the Holy Spirit refines believers, bringing them to a perfected, incorruptible state. Malachi 3:2-3 says, “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire.” This refining process is essential, making believers ready for the glory of the rapture.

The Second Coming: The Descent and Restoration..

Once the bread is fully baked, it is removed from the oven, ready for presentation. This moment, when the bread is lifted from the oven, parallels the Bride being perfected, ready to descend with Christ. Revelation 19:7-8 tells us, “His Bride has made herself ready,” and when the bread is perfected, it’s ready to be shared, just as the Bride is ready to descend and share in Christ’s glory.

The bread's final transformation, from raw dough to a finished loaf, mirrors the glorified state of the Bride. The golden crust that forms during baking represents the incorruptible bodies believers will receive. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 reminds us that we will be changed, transformed into a perfect, glorified state. The aroma that fills the room as the bread bakes is also a symbol of Christ’s return, filling the earth with His presence. Revelation 1:7 says, “Every eye will see Him,” just as the aroma of freshly baked bread spreads throughout the space.

Bread is a universal symbol of sustenance, and when Christ and the Bride descend to earth, they bring life to a broken world. John 6:51 says, “I am the living bread that came down out of heaven.” As the bread of life, Christ will return with His Bride, bringing restoration and healing to the earth. And just as bread is shared with others, Isaiah 25:6 speaks of a feast for all nations, symbolizing the abundance and restoration that will come with Christ’s reign.

A Profound Journey: From Kneading to Ascension..

Through the act of bread-making—kneading, rising, baking, and descending—we see a powerful reflection of the journey of the Bride. The rising dough represents the rapture, and the perfected bread descending with Christ represents His Second Coming. God’s plan for His people is intricately woven into every step of this process, showing how He will lift up, glorify, and return with His people to restore the earth. The act of baking bread offers a deep glimpse into God’s redemptive plan for His creation.

Unity Through the Feasts: A Prophetic Picture..

Each of the three feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles—reveals an aspect of God’s redemptive plan for his fruits. Together, they paint a picture of unity, refinement, and fulfillment, culminating in the eternal reign of Christ. These feasts are not merely symbolic; they are prophetic signposts pointing to key events in God’s timeline.

Passover and Redemption: The first fruits of barley during Passover remind us of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection—the foundation of our redemption. It is the starting point of the journey, where salvation is freely given to all who believe.

Pentecost and Refinement: The wheat loaves of Pentecost symbolize the refining and uniting of Jew and Gentile, preparing them for the rapture. This feast highlights the active work of the Holy Spirit, equipping believers to fulfill their calling.

Tabernacles and Fulfillment: The final harvest during Tabernacles points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises. It represents the reign of Christ on earth and the eternal dwelling of God with His people, as described in Revelation 21:3: “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them.”

The Call to Readiness..

As we approach the fulfillment of these prophetic feasts, the Lord calls His people to prepare. Just as the bread-making process requires patience and intentionality, so too must believers undergo spiritual refinement, being sifted, kneaded, and prepared for the trials and triumphs ahead.

This revelation of the first fruits and the bread-making process is a divine mystery unveiled for such a time as this. It is a reminder of God's meticulous plan and His unwavering faithfulness to His promises. Those with ears to hear and hearts to discern will recognize the significance of these truths, not as mere concepts but as an urgent call to readiness, unity, and unwavering faith in the face of tribulation.

The Bride must make herself ready, for the time is near. Let us take to heart the words of Revelation 19:7-8:
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His Bride has made herself ready. It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.”

The feasts and first fruits are more than traditions—they are a roadmap to understanding God’s timeline, His purpose for the Bride, and the glorious hope of His eternal reign. May we be found faithful and ready to partake in the Bread of Life, united as one body in Christ.

God bless those who have taken a leap of faith by recognizing and partaking in this manna of knowledge and revelation and are willing to share it with the body of Christ."

Amen!
