Origins of the Feast of First Fruits Shortly after giving the Ten Commandments to Israel, God gave another commandment: “Three times in the year you shall celebrate a feast for me. You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. . . also the harvest festival, the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field; and the harvest festival at the end of the year. . .” (Exodus 23:14-16). On this Feast of Harvest, also known as the Feast of First Fruits or Feast of Weeks, the Israelites offered the first fruits of the wheat harvest in the Holy Land, at the end of spring (Numbers 28:26; Exodus 34 :22). A few months later they celebrated another festival, called the Feast of Harvest or the Feast of Tabernacles. This took place "at the end of the year", that is, at the end of the annual agricultural cycle together with summer in the Holy Land, when the great harvest was harvested. These festivals were ordained by God, and as he wants us to learn from them, they are still in effect for his people today. Furthermore, we must understand that when someone observes God's festivals today, they are not only commemorating God's blessings to the agricultural fields in the Holy Land, but they are also celebrating and learning something much more important: God's purpose! and his plan of salvation for humanity
The spiritual harvest and its spiritual first fruits The Word of God speaks of two types of harvest. One of them is the physical harvest mentioned before, but it represents another much more important harvest: the spiritual harvest. Let us see what Jesus Christ says in Luke 10:1-2: “After these things the Lord also appointed seventy others, whom he sent two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to go. And he said to them: ‘The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest. Here, Jesus compares the spiritual harvest with the physical harvest of grain. In John 4:35-36 Jesus tells his disciples, “Lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest. And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life. . .”
