## KHAAGA BAKAWARAYAMA (ASSEMBLY OF FIRST FRUITS)

Meaning: Assembly of First Fruits  

Also Known As: Sha-Ba-Ka-Wa-Tha (Weeks)  

Timing: 50 days after wave sheaf during Unleavened Bread

### Counting Method

1. Start: Day after weekly Shabatha during Matazawatha (Unleavened Bread)

2. Count: 7 complete weeks (7 × 7 = 49 days)

3. Result: 50th day = Khaaga Bakawarayama

### Ordinances

- 1 young bull

- 2 rams

- Plus grain offerings and drink offerings

- All to be eaten by priests/Apostles

3. Holy Convocation:

- Assembly of all people

- Rejoicing before Yahawah

- Thanksgiving for harvest

4. Special Instructions:

- Remember former bondage

- Rejoice with household, servants, strangers

- Do not completely reap field corners (leave for poor)

### Scriptural Foundation

- Exodus 23:16; 34:22

- Leviticus 23:9-21

- Numbers 28:26-31

- Deuteronomy 16:9-12

## NOAH'S SACRIFICE = FIRST FRUITS FULFILLMENT

### Timeline Calculation

Noah's Exit: 2nd month, 27th day (Genesis 8:14-16)

- Using 364-day calendar: Day 57 of year

First Fruits Timing: Approximately Day 60-71

- Depends on when Shabatha falls during Unleavened Bread

- 50 days counted from day after Shabatha

Noah's Sacrifice: Day 57-60 (immediately upon exit)

### PERFECT ALIGNMENT

- Noah exited: Day 57

- Noah sacrificed: Day 57-60 (immediate first act)

- First Fruits range: Day 60-71

- Sacrifice occurred AT BEGINNING OF or DURING First Fruits season

### Why Noah Knew to Sacrifice at This Time

The Unbroken Teaching Chain:

```

ADAM (First to offer First Fruits)

↓ taught

CAIN & ABEL (Both instructed, Abel obeyed, Cain rebelled)

↓ after Abel's death

SETH (Continued righteous line)

↓

ENOSH → CAINAN → MAHALALEEL → JERED

↓

ENOCH (Received 364-day calendar, walked with AhlahYama 365 years)

↓

METHUSELAH (Lived 969 years, directly taught Noah 600 years)

↓

NOAH (Faithfully applied all instruction)

```

What Noah Learned:

1. The 364-day calendar (from Methuselah who learned from Enoch)

2. The appointed times (including Khaa-Ga Ba-Ka-Wa-Ra-Ya-Ma)

3. The requirement: FIRST and BEST to Yahawah

4. The timing: First Fruits season (beginning of agricultural cycle)

5. Cain's failure: Gave worst/last, rejected

6. Abel's success: Gave first/best, accepted

7. Clean vs. unclean distinction (Leviticus 11 taught from Adam)

Evidence Noah Knew:

1. Distinguished clean from unclean (Genesis 7:2):

- Took 7 pairs of clean, 2 pairs of unclean

- Shows patriarchal teaching preserved

2. Built altar immediately (Genesis 8:20):

- No hesitation or uncertainty

- Knew exactly what to do

3. Offered burnt offerings (Genesis 8:20):

- Specific sacrifice type known from Adam

- Proper method preserved

4. Yahawah accepted offering immediately (Genesis 8:21):

- "Yahawah smelled the soothing aroma"

- Indicates correct timing and method

5. No divine command recorded:

- Noah did this on his own initiative

- Because he had been taught what to do

- Noah knew it was time for First Fruits

## THE PATRIARCHAL TEACHING CHAIN DETAILED

### ADAM - The First

- Created by Yahawah

- Received direct instruction

- First to offer sacrifice

- First to observe Khaa-Ga Ba-Ka-Wa-Ra-Ya-Ma

- Taught both Cain and Abel

### CAIN & ABEL - The First Test

BOTH Received Full Instruction from Adam:

The First Fruits Command (From Adam):

1. "FIRST" - Before you eat, give to Yahawah first

2. "BEST" - The choicest, finest quality

3. "THANKFUL HEART" - Gratitude, not grudging

4. "APPOINTED TIME" - During Khaa-Ga Ba-Ka-Wa-Ra-Ya-Ma

5. "CLEAN ANIMALS" - Only ritually pure (Lev 11 from Adam)

6. "ALTAR" - Build proper altar for sacrifice

7. "FIRE" - Burnt offerings consumed by fire

CAIN'S WILLFUL REBELLION:

What Cain Knew:

✅ Khaa-Ga Ba-Ka-Wa-Ra-Ya-Ma timing

✅ Requirement to give FIRST of harvest

✅ Requirement to give BEST quality

✅ Proper heart attitude

✅ All sacrificial protocols

What Cain Did:

❌ Gave WORST of his harvest (not best)

❌ Gave LAST of his harvest (not first)

❌ Wrong heart attitude (grudging, rebellious)

❌ Deliberate disobedience (knew better, chose rebellion)

From The First Book of Adam and Eve:

- Cain reasoned: "Why should I give my BEST?"

- Cain kept finest harvest for himself

- Cain gave damaged/leftover produce

- This was premeditated disobedience

Result: Genesis 4:5 - REJECTED by Yahawah

ABEL'S FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE:

What Abel Did:

✅ Gave FIRSTLINGS (first born of flock)

✅ Gave FAT thereof (choicest portions)

✅ Right heart attitude (worship, thanksgiving)

✅ Complete obedience to instruction

Result: Genesis 4:4 - ACCEPTED by Yahawah

### SETH → ENOCH - Faithful Transmission

- Seth continued righteous teaching after Abel's death

- Teaching preserved through generations

- No interruption in knowledge

### ENOCH - Special Revelation

- Walked with AhlahYama 365 years

- Received 364-day calendar system

- Understood appointed times with precision

- Taught everything to Methuselah

### METHUSELAH - The Elder

- Learned directly from Enoch

- Lived 969 years (longest human lifespan)

- Taught Noah for 600 years before flood

- Died in year of flood (Genesis 5:27)

### NOAH - The Faithful

- Born year 1056 from creation

- Had 600 years with Methuselah

- Received comprehensive instruction

- Followed Abel's pattern, not Cain's

- Sacrifice accepted like Abel's

### KEY LESSON

The Difference Was NOT:

- Type of offering (plant vs. animal)

- Timing (all knew correct time)

- Knowledge (all fully instructed)

The Difference WAS:

- Quality given: Worst/last vs. First/best

- Heart attitude: Rebellious vs. Obedient

- Willingness: Grudging vs. Worship

Noah's Deliberate Choice:

- Knew about BOTH examples

- Chose to follow Abel (positive)

- Avoided Cain's error (negative)

- Passed the test Cain failed

## WEST AFRICAN SEASONAL CONTEXT

### West African Climate Pattern

WET SEASON (April-October):

- Heavy rains

- Flooding common

- High humidity

- Vegetation growth

- Agricultural planting season

DRY SEASON (November-March):

- Little to no rain

- Harmattan winds (December-February)

- Lower humidity

- Harvest season

- Cooler temperatures

### Noah's Exit Timing in African Context

Exit Date: 2nd month, 27th day (Day 57)

- Late spring in West Africa

- Dry season ending, early rains beginning

- Perfect timing for planting (seedtime)

- First Fruits context: Beginning of agricultural cycle

### Covenant Promise in Agricultural Context

Genesis 8:22 - West African Interpretation:

- "Seedtime" = Planting season (April-May)

- "Harvest" = Harvest season (October-November)

- "Cold" = Harmattan season (December-February)

- "Heat" = Pre-rain hot season (March-April)

- "Summer" = Wet season (April-October)

- "Winter" = Dry season (November-March)

This Covenant:

- Guarantees agricultural cycles will continue

- Given during First Fruits (beginning of planting)

- Ensures future harvests (future First Fruits)

- Links divine promise to appointed time

---

## PROPHETIC PATTERNS

### Type of Messiah's Resurrection

Noah's Emergence = Resurrection Pattern:

- First Fruits celebrates resurrection and new life

- Noah's emergence from ark = Death → Life transition

- Flood waters = Baptism/death to old world

- Dry land = Resurrection to new creation

- Points forward to Messiah rising as "firstfruits from the dead"

The Pattern:

1. Judgment (Flood / Crucifixion)

2. Death (Old world destroyed / Messiah died)

3. Burial (Ark sealed / Tomb sealed)

4. Waiting Period (150 days / 3 days)

5. Emergence (Noah exits / Messiah rises)

6. First Fruits Timing (Noah's sacrifice / Resurrection)

7. New Creation (Renewed earth / New life)

8. Covenant Promise (Never again flood / Eternal life)

### Baptism Typology

1 Peter 3:20-21:

- "Eight souls saved through water"

- "Baptism now saves you"

- Flood waters = Baptism symbolism

- Death to old world, resurrection to new

---

## THEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE

### 1. Worship as First Priority

- Noah's FIRST act = Build altar

- Before shelter, food, agriculture

- Yahawah first, man needs second

### 2. Following Righteous Examples

- Abel's pattern (first/best) - ACCEPTED

- Cain's pattern (worst/last) - REJECTED

- Noah chose wisely

### 3. Importance of Teaching

- 600 years of instruction preserved

- Methuselah faithfully taught Noah

- Knowledge passed through generations

- Teaching matters eternally

### 4. Appointed Times Known Pre-Sinai

- First Fruits observed before Moses

- Clean/unclean known before Leviticus 11

- Calendar system from Enoch

- Law predates Sinai by ~1000 years

### 5. Heart Matters as Much as Action

- Same instruction, different hearts

- Cain knew but rebelled

- Abel knew and obeyed

- Heart determines acceptance
