Moses: the Receiver of the Law
Passover, Omer, Shavuot, and Pentecost; “What do all these have in common?” All of these are centered on the Exodus and Theme of Passover. Passover is the positive outcome of a horrific ordeal. It also, is rightly called the “Celebration of Freedom.” It recalls and calls to a memorial, the liberation of a people who withstood 400+ years of brutal servitude as bondmen and bondwomen. The forgotten and often unmentioned aspect of the timeline is that it was foretold to Abram (his name was not yet changed to Abraham), that his seed would go into bondage. Genesis/Bereshit 15:13-14. The above main title figure displays for us “The SHAVUOT is the culmination of the count, it is the Giving of the Law, it is Honoring the L-RD with Your First-Fruits, It is the Fiftieth Day.”

Destroying The First Ten Commandments-Tablets of Stone
The Children of Israel’s error of Idolatry shown above in Fig 2, causes Moses to destroy the first Ten Commandments. (The Ten Commandments are also called “The Tablets of Stone”.) The Afro-Centric Hebrew group consisted of more than 600,000 men, women and children, of which, only 14,000 of those were the original Hebrews. Sixty-six souls joined Joseph there in Egypt; including his father Jacob/Yaakov who’s name was changed to Israel. Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh and wife, Asenath, as a family, were already in Egypt (Gender Troubles, 1029, pp. 41-45); (Rabbi Levi Solomon Plummer, circa 1980s). The six-hundred-thousand, which also consisted of other neighboring countrymen including the Egyptians –who believed GD, they comprised the “mixed multitude”.

Giving Your First-Fruits
It is important to note that the Hebrews (the Children of Israel (COI)) were not the only ones to leave Egypt within The EXODUS. In the inclusion, were these idol worshipers, including The Egyptians who served multiple gods. They profoundly impacted the many crucial decisions made by the Hebrews. Israelites are still cursed with these surrounding nations the Jebusites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the notorious Canaanites et cetera, because, Elohim judges the Israelites by their ability to be loyal, to be steadfast, and to be loving to Him always, no matter what the conditions or the circumstances that surrounds one’s life. The “First-Fruits” is giving ELOHIM the first obligation of your portion and your increase. It is “The Giving of Thanks” in honor and in gratitude for allowing you to cross over your personal hurdles, it also can be given throughout the year whenever you feel Blessed. It is especially important when you have come into the land, any land, where you feel safe, secure and finally at home. And it is joyously and bountifully celebrated, as the world has copied its meaning in Thanksgiving, especially in the US in the month of November. The Hebrews were preparing for their “Meeting at the Mount of Sinai.” Where they would be given the Law. The Ten Commandments. These others, journeyed along with the Hebrews to meet and to be introduced to the GD of Israel. The above figure displays the influencers of Idolatry, although, De Mille, says by depiction, they were the Hebrews. They were not all Hebrews. However, the judgment of error is attributed to the COI.
So, “Where is the Red Sea Located?”
The Red Sea is an extension (or inlet) of the Indian Ocean, located between Africa and Asia. Entrance to the sea in the south is through the Gulf of Aden and the somewhat narrow Bab el Mandeb (strait). In the north the sea is accessed from Middle Eastern countries via the Gulf of Aqaba (or Gulf of Eilat.)

The Exodus from Egypt, was real, and ended the subjective hardship of the Children of Israel under Egyptian Rule. Although the main figure shows people looking of Eurocentric identity, that is an inaccurate display. So, don’t be truly, an April Fool. However, note that this theme is a familiar one to America’s past day of African Slavery, and the continuous less than noble mindset against people of color. Ultimately, The Passover is about children, whose lives would have a purpose, and whose live would make a difference. Share in the story…

Omer Countdown, Shavuot, & the Pentecost
The Omer is a count that is executed the first day of the week or the first Sunday following the first day of Passover. This year it occurred on April 8/ 14 Abib 5781. The year is 5781 versus 5780 because Abib/Aviv is considered, by GD, the first lunar calendar month. It is given this distinction- due to the EXODUS of The Children of Israel out of Egypt. This season marks a new beginning for a people who had formerly been oppressed and in servitude. Each week thereafter, is counted as Seven Days. While each Sunday, thereafter, begins the countdown of a new 7-Day or Week.
Shavuot (considering the transliteral spelling), is the culmination of the count. The count of 7-Weeks and 7-Days, comes out to be 49-Days. Shavuot is also called the Festival of Weeks or the Celebration of the Giving of the Law on Mt. Sinai – The Torah. Pentecost literally means 50 marking the 50th – Day of the Count.

If you want to follow the count, at nightfall on Thursday evening May 28, 2020, will begin day fifty, and the erev/eve and the boker/morning were Yom Echad/Day One. This evening starts Day-50 of the count. 6 Sivan 5781.

Disclaimer
Sacilliyah’s Blog on Everything Jewish, begs your understanding on the Omer Count. Literal, Jewish concepts have given theoretical theology control as to the time of the count ensuing, likewise the error persist in the start time of Pesach/Passover. The Biblical scripture is very specific in both. The official start would always follow the subscribed dictates of the timeline, thereby, adding a system of consistency. Genesis 1:5 & Lev 23:15-17. The Omer is related to living and residency in the land the L-RD has blessed you. The Sabbath referred herein, is the traditional 7th Day Sabbath, Yom Shabbat. The interpretation would follow one’s individual path, yet, in the case of the Exodus, all were arriving at the same appointed time. Therefore, this Omer Count is hereby, inscribing to Rabbinic Judaism Interpretation of the Omer Count, and not to the Orthodoxy of Prophetic Judaism, which would dictate the count starting always after Yom Shabbat on the eve of Yom Echard.
