Hi Folks,
In this second post today let’s take the time to point out where we do not look for an acceptable First of the Firstfruit wavesheaf offering source. It’s all very simple if we belief the Biblical agricultural pattern given to us by Isaiah and Christ. For the newer folks let’s just recite
Isaiah 28:23-26 Listen up and pay attention to my voice, listen and hear what I have to say. Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow the black cummin, and scatter the cummin; plant the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place! His Elohim teaches him and instructs him in right judgment/decision making.
This is as basic an instruction as to the source location of agricultural grains as one can get. And it comes right out of the Biblical pattern on how and where we do so.
First off, these grains are located in a location that can be plowed creating furrows. Thus, one has clods of soil sticking up which need to be broken down and leveled out. That is really easy to understand and accept if you do not have an agenda to deceive or dumb down someone else, as already being dumbed down yourself.
Next you either plant the seeds in rows or sow the seeds in the prepared field. These are locations which are used year in and year out for this purpose in the Land and for that matter everywhere else as well. They need to be plowed and prepared before the grain is introduced.
The parable of the sower given to us by Christ/Messiah is another extension of this Biblical agricultural principle and pattern. Take some time to read about it and the specific results of sowing grain in unacceptable soils and acceptable soils.
Matthew 13: 1-23 and Luke 8: 4-15 are simply amazing instructions of agricultural principles applied to spiritual realities. And do not lose focus that the agricultural principle and the spiritual reality of it are book ends for the instruction on why He taught in parables. That is really important.
Lots of you folks do not have a history of the abib inspections under their belts as some others do. Not a problem as we have them all recorded with photos on the website under historical listings going back to 2002. Back then we were hosted by some in the Land for 2002 and 2003 to undertake inspections with them. In both of those years their focus was on areas of Biblically unacceptable locations for the purpose of securing a First of the Firstfruit wavesheaf offering. We did spend some time in an area that did host Biblically acceptable fields as well. In 2004, I conducted inspections in the Land by myself prior to being asked to assist with our previous hosts for a day which I did. That year made it very clear their needed to be a final separation between us as we held to very different spirits which could not coexist. 2005 was a great example as to why. They declared a new year out of season based on Biblically unacceptable locations. Unfortunately, many of the early Christians to the Abib Calendar, who were actually few in total numbers, turned in that direction as well. Very sad but to a great extent that has been overcome.
So, for review purposes seeing how we are past the middle January of this years Abib Growing Cycle and just a few days before the end of the Biblical 10th month let us see some of these Biblically unacceptable locations that have been used in the past. If you would like to see the specific locations in the past just go to the 2005 and 2006 reports as this is a general review. Please keep in mind they have a beauty of their own, just not for Biblical Agricultural purposes other than growing goat grass to feed the flocks and herds.
Here is the link to the reports. For you newer folks 2005 through 2008 hold a wealth of instruction about the entire process. [https://www.abibofgod.com/historical-abib-reports]
If the link does not go right to it copy and paste it. That's old guys stuff.
Our peace we give to you!
