Counting the Omer Psalms 119:17-24  Day 47

Leviticus 23:15-16 (NKJV) 15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the Lord.
 

ג Gimel

17 Deal bountifully with Your servant,
That I may live and keep Your word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.
19 I am a stranger in the earth;
Do not hide Your commandments from me.
20 My soul breaks with longing
For Your judgments at all times.
21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,
Who stray from Your commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt,
For I have kept Your testimonies.
23 Princes also sit and speak against me,
But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24 Your testimonies also are my delight
And my counselors.

​Witness tarry throughout the Bible:  Strong's H4102 meaning to linger, hesitate or to wait

​ In the third month, Israel comes to the base of Mount Sinai where they pitched their tents.  This is the beginning of the 19th chapter of Exodus.  This is the location and concludes the days of preparation of receiving the Torah​.  It has been 50 days, days of reflection, preparation, seeking and studying Almighty God!  The counting begins with firstfruits, the waving of the sheaf before the Lord God.  This day is marked as the day that Yahweh meet with the children of Israel and they became a nation.  This giving of His law--teaching and instruction, this Mosaic covenant and the King's words were not done away with!  The restoring of the total house of Israel, the 10 lost tribes/the house of Ephraim and the house of Judah.  This is the order of Melchizedek, the meeting of the kingly and priestly anointings.  A royal priesthood, a holy nation--His original design that is shown in the Tanakh and later reflected in the Brit Chadasha.  The renewed covenant is established soul by soul as the Messiah is received by His grace, written in our hearts and minds--the Torah.  The 50 days following Yeshua's passion, is a reflection of Mount Sinai in the Tanakh.  As Yahweh came down on the mountain, He then comes down with the outpouring of His Spirit at Pentecost.  As they were sitting in the upper room as instructed to wait for what Jesus Christ of Nazareth was to send to them. A tongue of fire rested on those consecrated unto Him, a total of 120 souls.  The descending of the Holy Spirit begins a revival in Jerusalem as they go out into the streets, restoring the 3,000 that would not accept what Yahweh gave them at Sinai, are replaced in this outpouring.  This year, Shavuot/Pentecost is on Sivan 10 in the Hebrew calendar and June 8.  This date concludes our counting up of the omer, the 50 days of expectation and preparation of what Yahweh will do and reflection on what He has already done!  What we have often looked to in the Brit Chadasha, the New Testament is a reflection of what was already done in the Tanakh, the Old Testament.  These two visitations from Yahweh is His coming amongst us, the assembly, the called out ones, the congregation--in Hebrew kahal and Greek ekklesia.  The first visitation to the nation of Israel, the second, individually, we must ask Him, the King of kings to open up our understanding that we truly would understand this properly and not according to what we have been taught over the years in error but according to the original intention, the original plan!  Thank You Adonai for coming to teach us about Your visitations and that we have a better understanding of what this counting up was regarding.  Give us ears to hear and hearts to receive all that You are pouring out on us in this time appointed by You!  Hallelujah and amen!  To hear this again click here.
