The Law of First Fruits (Part One) The Light

By -

The Rule of the First Fruits is found throughout the Scriptures from the first day of creation to the firstborn Son of God.

  1. There is a First-Fruit to every harvest
  2. First Fruits are always the best of the entire crop. 
  3. First Fruits always belong to the Lord. 
  4. Accordingly, the First (of anything) in the Bible is always preeminent – 

 First things First

The First Day of Creation - 


Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:3-5

 

On the very First Day of creation, God spoke into existence the most crucial element of the Kingdom of God and of life on planet Earth. "Let there be light" 

Photosynthesis cannot take place without light. 

The sun created a few days later could not do its job without light 

All forms of life depend on the existence of light from all across the spectrum from infrared to ultraviolet light and beyond, Physical life, Emotional life, and Spiritual Life.

The Levites

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Now behold, I Myself have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the children of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine, because all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be Mine: I am the Lord.” Numbers 13:11-13

The Firstborn

Every firstborn that opens the womb of both man and beast.

“Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.” Exodus 13:2

To the only begotten (firstborn) Son of the Heavenly Father and everything in between. 

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:15

Men would remain in spiritual darkness unless the Firstborn (only begotten) Son of the Father came into the world as the 'light of the world'. 

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

So the Firstfruits are connected as we just saw that Light was the first fruit of creation and Jesus was the firstfruit Son of Heaven and Jesus was the LIGHT of the World. 

As the Spirit of God hovered over the waters, and darkness covered the waters at creation, so the Holy Spirit hovered over the waters in darkness within the womb of Mary the Virgin and she conceived Jesus (the Light of the world).  

Jesus became the first fruit to raise from the dead to immortality. The first son of Adam to rise from the dead to immortality. He was given a name higher than any other name in heaven or on earth. 

Next time: the first miracle of Jesus' ministry, highlights the preeminent 'outcome' of His life on the earth. You might be surprised, at why this miracle is so preeminent. Can you guess?

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
