The offerings of the Old Testament are like divine parables, acted out by the priests to teach about the Messiah, unveiling a beautiful picture once we understand the symbols. All offerings during the annual holy days point to Christ and each holy day asks us to remember our former slavery. The offering on Pentecost contained two loaves that were baked with leaven, which seems contradictory because of the symbolism of leavening. The loaves were not simply firstfruits, but a grain offering, which symbolizes our devotion to fellow man, given as an offering to God. The leavened loaves were waved in conjunction with a massive burnt offering, peace offering, and sin offering, all of which typify Jesus Christ's work—the only way service from corrupted human beings can be acceptable. The Pentecost offering can be seen in New Testament events, and it gives us an application where there are doctrinal differences, such as how to count to Pentecost.
