Witness omer throughout the Bible: H6016 omer a dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 litres), sheaf
Exodus 16:16, 16:18, 16:26, 16:36

Leviticus 23:15-16
“‘From the day after the day of rest — that is, from the day you bring the sheaf for waving — you are to count seven full weeks, until the day after the seventh week; you are to count fifty days, and then you are to present a new grain offering to Adonai. -CJB

As we Hebrews present ourselves to Yahweh on His holy Feast Days. The intimacy to learning who our creator is, should become more intensified. This is a counting up to expectation of the fellowship and nothing like a visitation when you are counting down. It is His appointed times, that Yahweh promises to dwell with his people even more so than any other time.  He has set all of this times on His calendar and they show up in the cycle that He established from the beginning! The original and only feast day or appointed times that any followers of Yeshua have been ordained and established for a perpetual convocation.

Leviticus 23:2

Yahweh is in rhythm of all things and all things happen in His rhythm. Time flows and continues because Yahweh commanded it. Seasons change to summer, winter, spring, and fall. The body flows in rhythm as well. We breathe and the heartbeats and circulates blood. Some of us speak a song in-rhythm, but think we can't carry a tune?

Yahweh operates in rhythm with the feast days as we count up, we are never to count down to due to being in expectation. The system of this world is completely out of sync with the one and true Yahweh. As in New Year's the system of this world counts down. We of the Hebraic mindset, count up. We have His instructions before us but fail to trust in His revelation of truth. Now is the time to see His teaching and instructions the way Yahweh intended for His words to be followed period. Due to man's lust for knowledge other than the simplicity of Yahweh's instructions, the manual implemented from before anything begin. We try to add our own thoughts of legalism and leaven of the Pharisees, so to speak. Therein we miss the Fourth Man in the fire. What I'm simply saying is we are to follow the feast days of Yahweh. We are not to be so religious about the enactments and setups of the feast days. Remember what and who the feast days are about. Unlike the pagan holidays that allude to Jesus, but become men's subjection to deceptive paganistic practices that have no scriptural truth. Having nothing to do at all with Yeshua, but to the lower nature of the flesh of man's downfall--leading to greed, lust, and rebellion.
While the Feast of unleavened bread points to Yeshua being the bread of life. That we can eat as a reminder of who Yeshua is.

1. Our Redeemer
Isaiah 43:14
Thus saith the Lord, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. - KJV

2. Our sin offering
Hebrews 10:10
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. - KJV

Passover counts again the redemption of the firstborn, the covering of sins, the acceptance into the kingdom of Yahweh, and the destruction of bondage--physically mentally and spiritually. The counting of the Omer is another instruction from Yahweh. The counting up to the time from Passover to Shavout, the appointed Feast of Weeks. It is called The Feast of Weeks because in Leviticus 23:15-16 God tells us to count seven weekly Sabbaths from the first Sabbath following Passover Day and on the 50th day of counting it is the appointed day of Shavuot (Pentecost).

It represents a Jubilee and it is the counting of seven weeks, then on the 50th day of counting, the day after the 7th weekly Sabbath, the special Holy Day is celebrated as the day of the giving of the Spirit, the Torah of fire from Mount Sinai and The Spirit at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem 50 days after Messiah's resurrection. That First Fruits resurrection is a key to the count.

After all, there is a reason they were instructed to stay in Jerusalem (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4) and there is a reason they knew so easily that our Savior ascended on the 40th day after His First Fruits day resurrection... I do not think it was just because they were counting down the days since the resurrection, it was because they were counting the Omer just as Yahweh had instructed at Sinai 1,500 years earlier. They were counting--counting the (Sefirat HaOmer) days up to Shavuot!!!

To whom also, he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. Acts 1:3-4

After all, there is a reason they were instructed to stay in Jerusalem (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4) and there is a reason they knew so easily that our Savior ascended on the 40th day after His First Fruits day resurrection... I do not think it was just because they were counting down the days since the resurrection, it was because they were counting the Omer just as God had instructed at Sinai 1,500 years earlier. They were counting -- counting the (Sefirat HaOmer) days up to Shavuot!!!

Just count all the way to the 50th day and it will be God's Shavuot -- Pentecost Day!!

It is the holy day count from the death of the Passover lamb and the first born sons of Egypt to the giving of the Ten Commandments near the mountain of Sinai in the wilderness. It is the count from the crucifixion day to the giving of the anointing of God's Holy Spirit to the Disciples at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. On the count up to Shavuot (Pentecost) God shows us that He gives all of us a second chance at salvation through Messiah's resurrection which is represented by the great wheat harvest of mankind.

During the “Counting of the Omer”, we all “get to” count up to the Feast of Shavuot and with each day we are actually participating in the growing expectation and anticipation of what THE BIG DAY many call Pentecost actually represents.

That is why the Bible tells us the Omer counting is an unchanging, eternal instruction. It is an appointment and teaching directly from Almighty God. In our so called modern day, we need to take a step back and re-read the Bible with the Omer Count in mind. When we do we realize that it was early the 1st day of the Omer count that Jesus appeared in the garden to Mary.

That day He also taught the meaning of the Torah at the end of the road to Emmaus. Then on the next day of counting, Jesus appeared in the upper room to the witnesses on the 2nd day of the Omer count when He appeared to the remaining Disciples.  As we return to our Hebraic roots we find that all that Yeshua did while walking in the flesh on the Earth was according to the directions given by Yahweh on the Sinai mount to Moses, all of the days scheduled by His mighty hand to be remembered and practiced eternally!  To hear this teaching again click here.
