2000 years ago
Passover: When Jesus gave up the Ghost at 3pm (9th hour of the day) Israelites were killing the passover lambs in Jerusalem.
Unleavened Bread: The next day when they were ridding their homes of leaven in every corner removing every crumb, Christ was dead and God was ridding every crumb of sin from the houses of our lives.
Firstfruits: When Christ was coming out of the tomb as God showcased Him as the first of many millions of sons of God to come, the priest was waving the firstfruits of the barley harvest as the first of many millions of grains to come.
We are IDENTICAL to Christ as per His righteousness, and death to sin and life to God! If he is the firstfruits, and we are the following harvest, then every description of His holiness is true of us! We are God's righteousness IN HIM.
Awesome God!
