The word bikurim was popularized in the Messianic movement in the wake of, “Yom haBikurim,” the day ‘after Shabbat’ when an omer of the first fruits of the barley harvest was offered in the temple (Lev 23:10). Interestingly, the word bikurim does not appear in this verse. The word, or rather the words, for “first fruits” here are reshit k’tzirchem, literally “the beginning of your harvest.” It may surprise many to know that in the same chapter, just a few verses later, the word bikurim appears, only now, in the context of another appointed time: Shavuot. Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits (bikurim) to YeHoVaH.– Leviticus 23:17 In verse 20, the lechem haBikurim, or “bread of the first fruits,” is mentioned and in Numbers 28:26 the Feast of Shavuot is called Yom haBikurim. Have we learned something wrong again? Not quite. The reality is, thematically speaking, that the “beginning of the harvest,” those fruits of the barley harvest offered during the week of Chag haMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread), from when we began to count the fifty days until Shavuot may also be called bikurim. So, if we want to define the terms correctly and accurately, it is important to understand that the Day of First Fruits is NOT called ‘Yom haBikurim’ in the Torah. On the contrary, the day that is called ‘Yom haBikurim’ is Shavuot, as we saw above. Finally, I will share the meaning of this word. Bikurim is the plural of the word bikur, which is literally “first,” related to organic elements such as animals, fruits and plants. It is related to the root bakr which means “firstborn.” In Egypt, for example, the tenth plague was called makat haBechorot, “plague of the firstborn.” As expressed biblically, the first “fruit of the womb” of a woman is linguistically related to the first fruits of the earth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I love how descriptive the Word of Yehovah is. We are often given metaphorical imagery to help us understand spiritual concepts. These comparisons not only give us a tangible idea of what Scripture describes but, I imagine, that each metaphor also carries secret keys to understanding the physical world. We are often called “the body of Messiah” in the Scriptures: “For as we have many members in one body, but all members do not have the same function, so we, the many, are one body in Messiah, and members each one of one another.”– Romans 12:4-5 We also know that we are created in the image of Elohim. Imagine, then, all the ways that our bodies reveal the glory of our Creator! Recent studies have shown that the average human body is composed of approximately 37 trillion cells- not including the at least equal amount of foreign cell bodies that live in us, too. 97% of all cells in the body fall into one of six categories: red blood cells, glial cells, endothelial cells, dermal fibroblasts, platelets, and bone marrow. Over 70% of ALL cells in our bodies are red blood cells. This means that most of our actual body is responsible for carrying oxygen to other cells. The other really important thing that red blood cells do is remove carbon dioxide from our cell tissues. Glial cells, once thought to simply be neuron-insulators, are now being investigated more deeply as some scientists believe they could be responsible for our creative thoughts. They make up 90% of our brain. Another important function of glial cells is, again, to transport oxygen and nutrients to neurons. Endothelial cells create a one-cell thick lining in all of our blood vessels. They ensure a smooth ride for our oxygen-carrying RBCs. Dermal Fibroblasts are found in our skin, and aid in healing when we are wounded! Platelets, another vital component to healing in our bodies, specifically work to seal any breaks in the endothelial lining of our blood vessels. Lastly, we have bone marrow cells that are responsible for the cultivating of our blood cells. This means that 97% of the human body is directly involved with the transport of oxygen to our cells. “And YeHoVaH Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils breath of lives. And the man became a living being.”– Genesis 2:7 We that make up the body of Messiah all have this breath of life! What an interesting parallel the Father has given us in the design of our own bodies. Just as our cells minister to one another, we are to do the same. We are each filled with the Ruach haKodesh, the Holy Spirit, and we manifest different gifts that we are to use in support the body of Messiah as a whole. How amazing! Baruch Hashem YeHoVaH! I leave you with this… As these cells bring life-breath to the functioning tissues of our bodies, they also rid the body of waste. “And, according to the Torah, almost all is cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”– Hebrews 9:22 Our blood moves throughout the body, cleansing it. Individual cells are the vessels for cleansing. They are carried by the blood and they are filled with the breath-of-life! I encourage you to dwell on this thought. We know of the power of the Blood. It courses through our (endothelial-lined) veins. Each of us has the privilege of being vessels of the Holy Spirit. Let us continue to work together as one body of many members, until the day He is crowned as King of Kings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Webster’s Dictionary defines fear as “an unpleasant, often strong emotion, caused by anticipation or awareness of danger or doom.” Now, I’m just like any other man who can have doubts or fears – fears about health, fears about finances, fears about personal relationships, even fears about my relationship with The Father. On the other hand, the Bible defines faith in Hebrews 11 as “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  The Bible really doesn’t define fear, but simply tells us, “Fear Not!”… “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”– John 4:18 “And the Lord appeared to Isaac the same night and said, ‘I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you’.”– Genesis 24:26 Finally, in 1 Chronicles 28:20, David says to his son Solomon, “’Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God – my God – will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you’.” Again, my father-in-law Ron taught me that fear and faith are both spiritual elements – elements that can’t take up the same space.   If you live in fear, then faith just simply is not present; but if you live in faith, fear cannot exist either. YeHoVaH wants you to live in faith, to live in hope, love, happiness and peace, not in fear.  That is nothing more than Satan bringing doubt and hopelessness into your life. In fact, the Bible says “fear not” 365 times in one form or another. If you think about it, that’s a “Fear Not” for every day of the year! So now you have a choice: to live as The Almighty would have you live – in faith and hope – or as Satan would have it, in fear and despair. Don’t allow negativity to dwell in your life. Anger, fear, doubt. It’s all of the Devil. Choose YeHoVaH. Choose life. Choose faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was a good distance from the truck, but I didn’t realize it until the sky started to darken and I heard thunder. A storm was coming. But it was too late. I knew there was no way I’d make it back to my vehicle.” I hunkered down in a place I felt was the safest and waited for the storm to pass. I prayed, “YeHoVaH, please watch over me and protect me.” The lightning cracked and the wind blew. I thought a couple of times that it may be a tornado. After a while the storm began to pass, each crack of thunder quieter than the last one. The rain had stopped, but water still dripped heavily from off of the leaves. I was soaking wet and started to feel a little cold. The sound of dripping slowed and the sound of the birds soon took front stage. It was amazing how fast the storm came and went, even though it seemed to last forever when I was stuck in it. When I got back to my truck, Luke 6:48-50 came to mind. Remember when Yeshua was walking on the water and was about to pass by the disciples in the boat? They thought they had seen a ghost. He told them, “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” And when He climbed in the boat, the storm subsided. As I thought about that scripture, it dawned on me that He was about to pass them by. In other words, if they had not called out to Him, I believe He would have kept going. Also, He was far enough away from the boat that they did not recognize Him. What a great example of storms in the believer’s life. In the midst of the storm (trials and tribulations), we cry out to YeHoVaH. When it takes a while for the storm to pass, the complaint some believers have is, “YeHoVaH is not hearing me.” I’ve been there myself. But let’s remember the scripture. When they called out, He answered with words of encouragement. In other words, He said, “You’re going to be okay.” Hang in there. Keep your eyes on Him during life’s storms, and know that whatever storms we have in our lives will pass. So the next time you cry out, know that He hears you. Keep your eyes on Him and, at His appointed time, He will enter your boat and calm your storm.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
