What is the meaning of firstfruit in the bible?

Answer 1

God the Father, has a plan for the Salvation of His future children. He has made it know to mankind via His Sabbaths - both weekly and annual. Of the 7 Annual Feast Days of God, Pentecost pictures the firstfruits of God and the start of the Church of God in 31 A.D..

Understand that the all powerful God is not in a battle with the god of this world for the souls of mankind. Surely God would simply cast Satan aside if this was His Way but this will happen in the 7 Trumpet plaques in Revelation and will become known to mankind as the 3 Woes after Satan and his demons are cast to the Earth a final time, never to return to heaven again. So just how does God plan to 'harvest' his future family.

It will begin with the firstfruits who are called by the Father (John 6:44;65) in their respective lifetimes. God has called only a few in this age of man, not for special favors, but for special responsibilities (James 1:18). They are called to develop God's character so they, when born into His Family, can rule righteously in the coming Kingdom of God. Then these first called sons and daughters of God, will help bring salvation to every mortal during the Millennial Rule of 1000 years post Tribulation. The Great White Throne Judgement Process will have the vast majority of humans given a chance (1st) to repent and live the way of God - following Jesus' perfect example. Then they will be changed into spiritual sons and daughters of the God Family, full heirs with Jesus Christ. The firstfruits will become the bride of Christ.
