It’s cold and cloudy today. Does that bother me in light of the command that we would be required to go up in a few days and live for a week in J’lem for Unleavened? No.

Where was Peter when Yeshua was being examined in the palace of the high priest?

**Mar 14:54** And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

**Luk 22:56** But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him

**Joh 18:18** And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; ****for it was cold****: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.

Even today we in Israel do not live in first-world conditions. Hotels may have central heating and cooling, the vast majority of homes do not.

I can tell you when it’s cold outside our concrete houses are damp and cold and they hold that climate for at least three days until the dry hot sun has changed our internal conditions. When it’s hot the opposite is true. There are few, few, few well-sealed and insulated homes in Israel that you can set a thermostat and walk away from. We try to keep the climate tolerable in one room and the rest of the rooms in the house are just pass through zones.

Now to the subject of ‘seasons’. Modern English and the KJV used the terms of summer and winter. If you have been following me you KNOW that I say we only have hot and dry or cold and wet for our choices……If Peter was COLD it would still be WET; that’s what we are being told, it was in the wet and cold season in the year that Yeshua laid down his life.Updated Mar 1, 2020, 11:40 AM

Good morning group;

Several of you have reached out to me about the field where I found the barley to be acceptable for wave sheaf. You have expressed a desire for me to return to the area for a final check.

Honestly, I myself, don’t need to go back. We’ve followed the grains for three days after they were harvested and watched their progression of drying. I’m well satisfied with this large patch of barley and have no further questions about its acceptability.

However, if you feel this need, I will return. Travel to the south is not free, it will cost me about NIS300 to go and return. NIS 70-80 are the toll roads and the balance it for diesel to the vehicle.

If you want this final inspection I’m asking you specifically to fund me and I will go.

I’ve already invested from my first trip: NIS 400 diesel, NIS 650 lodging, NIS 70 for toll roads. =$325. Staying in the south on a moshav was cheaper than the NIS 200 + NIS 70 for diesel and tolls that it would require if I came home every day…that is even if I wanted to inspect from sun up to sunset and then still drive 2 hours one direction.

If you’d like to fund this additional inspection private message me and I’ll let the group know when the funds have been received for a return trip.

Edited: You should also be aware of this fact: As I was looking at this patch of barley there were probably about 150 heads of sheep and goats grazing in the trees just behind this barley. To me, it was miraculous that a patch of barley this size even existed with a flock this large living in the area. The Bedouin’s get a wink and a pass in being able to set up lean-tos (they’re still somewhat nomadic) while grazing their flocks in our national parks. These areas are some of the best barley fields so the Father’s barley fields have become their grazing land.

If you fund me to go back we may find the field has been eaten by the flock. 1) you should pray it’s protected from the flock; which the Father has already provided once 2) or that there is something of it left to inspect.

If you want to ‘bless us’ for the first report that I delivered here you can pray that the Father continues to send tourists to stay in our apartment that we let-out for tourism. Now coronavirus will be affecting tourism in Israel too. But our Father is bigger.

Tourism is seasonal here and it can be feast or famine. Right now, we are pretty booked up until around mid-May.

Since our only steady source of income is my husband’s social security benefit of $1700 a month; which doesn’t even cover the basic basket of living in Israel, the income from the apartment is a great benefit.

This year I will be able to take my social retirement benefit as well, that also will help us out….the perks of getting old I suppose. Even with our combined benefits together we would need to count absolutely every penny and pray for no bumps…..So, you can petition the Father to bless our little endeavor to support ourselves in our retirement year.

Thanks.Updated Mar 1, 2020, 7:12 AM

https://sightedmoon.com/aviv-or-adar-bet/?fbclid=IwAR1tfEmh_58EwkGVF0OJz0nvajWavNX-TPxOAWikh7-VDv1vzKbdwcCcg_II actually agree with Joseph’s article when it comes to the ‘old methods’ of harvesting barley. Rarely do I read much less post another person’s work on Israel’s wild barley because I’m so busy in the field myself that I don’t have time for studying another man’s words.

This year I also determined and said to another brother that we have required signs of things in the land of Israel that the scriptures do not require for Passover or Wave Sheaf. I told him I do not need a stork for the Pesach meal.

The Passover meal needed lambs and bitter herbs. The people would have been eating last year’s barley until the Wave Sheaf date. The Wave sheaf date needs the earliest acceptable barley from Israel.

This year the first fruits in the Re’im field showed me that with a very very early wave sheaf such as the example we have been given this year, that there is still a month before the general harvest from the land will present itself; a more general harvest is the criteria of the other inspectors. Because of this early wave sheaf, in my mind, I am now free to travel to J’lem with my earliest Firstfruits, keep the week of Unleavened, and return for the balance of the harvest of barley. This was always a huge concern for me. My approach is how do the words we have been given work on the land of Israel and in the lives of those people who lived by those words. When our focus is correct it all fits together.

Kudos to Joseph on realizing the pattern of drying the already cut standing wave sheaf in the fields across the Kidron Valley. I concur. I believed and still do that barley sheaves would have been dried on a threshing floor, which is a flat stone, and that the barley sheaves on a hot stone threshing floor would have dried very quickly……what is the Temple location of Elohim in J’lem? A Threshing Floor!

And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with *his* face to the ground. Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of *this*threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people. 1 Ch 21:20-22

https://youtu.be/t6Y2WEeD0AwThis is the video with the final look at the barley that I brought back, it’s the third day now. In this video I answer why I believe it is scriptural to harvest the first fruits three days before wave sheaf. When you are finished watching this you will understand why and what I see from the scripture. In going over the scripture again I was given a clearer picture of how the reysheet biccur was offered in the body of the Messiah. Warning my passion will slip out.

Remember I shared photos with you from the Negev of these Jeremiah 8 cranes from earlier this week. Review my photos you will see them standing in the fields.Updated Feb 28, 2020, 12:13 PM

This is the barley that was cut the morning of the 25th of February in the Negev. These photos I am posting are from the morning of the 27th of February. The random grain I checked is in the final stage of dough. It can still be barely divided by my thumb nail and there is a large amount of starch on the inside, very little moisture left. It would be a perfect example of what to roast by fire to complete the extraction of moisture from the grain. Notice how easily that barley shattered, or fell apart.Updated Feb 27, 2020, 7:37 AM

Hi Group:

I did finally locate the video of the area where I declared the new year for my household. Here it is, you can see it wasn’t a tiny patch.

Also, I’ve had several chats about the condition of this patch of barley. It does represent the earliest barley in that whole big field. There will be other sections of barley to ripen over the coming weeks. This section that you are seeing will be on the ground by the next new moon, in other words, it will have shattered or reseeded itself on the earth. This section will be completely ready by wave sheaf this lunar cycle

I wanted to address the question of how long this will last into the future.

Also, I am not of the opinion that in the long term scope of the history of the Torah all of the wave sheaves had to come from J’lem. The Torah plainly says that the firstfruits were an offering to Elohim and for food to the Levites. The Firstfruits were never commanded to come from the Levites, they were not to be landholders at all. Even though there are historical records proving that during the first century this was the process. If someone can come up with a biblical reference of this being commanded please PM me so I can change my stance on the subject. The first-century religious crowd was swallowed up with their errors and it why the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE; Elohim did not appreciate their representation of Him.

Deut 26: 1 And it shall be, when thou *art* come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee *for* an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein; 2 That ***thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put *it* in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there. 3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days***, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. 4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. 5 And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish *was* my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous: 6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage: 7 And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression: 8 And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: 9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, *even* a land that floweth with milk and honey. 10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God: 11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good *thing* which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that *is* among you.

I mentioned all of this to say the following:

I have in the past wrestled with the transport of the barley to J’lem and the tricky timing for the greater harvest of barley as it ripens when all of the farmers were off in J’lem keeping the week of Unleavened. I simply could not see how part of the general harvest needed for food and needed to fill in the following year’s unleavened up until wave sheaf was not being lost when the people were obeying the command to go up to J’lem. I believe the model I/we have been given of this earliest omer answers that question.

In this year’s model, there will be plenty of time for the people to travel to J’lem in the second week of this lunar cycle, keep a week of unleavened in J’lem for one week and return to their fields at the end of the third week. As reported by other inspectors the lions share, or the majority of the harvest will ripen in the next lunar cycle, but the first of this harvest in the video will be laying on the earth. And I want to mention again the story of Ruth clearly proves a harvest happened in a single field over a period of time and not in one day alone.

One final point. This specific field did not need to be cut on the day that I took the grains. If it was my field on my land I would have been watching the grains closely for a harder dough stage before the majority of the grains became mature enough to drop. In my opinion, because it had rained the night before this field could have done a few more days before taking the firstfruits was necessary.

When I saw the Elohim had given me exactly what I asked for and even a greater quantity I literally said out loud; “this is it, I don’t need to look any further”. At that moment I knew my work was done and I’d be heading home to Nothern Israel so I’m thankful I had the presence of mind to bring a cutting from the area.

I hope that answers the way I understand the omer. Send me further questions in my PM and I’ll address them.

**Edited:** I had this comment and will be happy to address it here as well: “Deu 16:9 “Count seven weeks for yourself. Begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain.

Lev 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Lev 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. If the Barley was cut before the people went to Jerusalem for Passover, the count of 7 Sabbaths would have to begin before Passover. So the count would be off. And, since the barley was to be waved on the morrow after the Sabbath it would have been cut either Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. (Believing Messiah rose on Saturday night this would be that fulfilled)”

**As I promised this person I did revisit these scriptures and I did.**

Yes, if we are supposed to count from the cutting of our firstfruits from each field across the land of Israel there would be no unity and our count would be off.

Neh 10:35 And to bring the **firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD: 36 Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as *it is *written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God: 37 And *that* we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.**

Nu 18:12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee 13 *And* whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat *of* it.

First, there was more to the calendar than just barley and wheat, which are the first 2 categories of firstfruits that we are the most aware of. The acceptable firstfruits were found in Deut 8:8

Deut 8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any *thing* in it; a land whose stones *are* iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

My understanding is that a **firstfruits** **offering** belongs to the Temple and Elohim. The **harvest** belongs to the people for food. I believe the Hebrew uses very specific words. We are not to delay our **firstfruits** which just like a ‘**firstborn son**’. The firstfruits had the first place position like the firstborn son. We may have other sons but there will only be one in the firstborn position. We will have a harvest of grains but there will only be one firstfruits offering at the beginning of, the head, or the reysheet of the harvest.
