I Corinthians 15 says Messiah is the first fruits of the dead. The first fruits offering for the harvest is called the bikoreem. When it was lifted up and given to God it represented and sanctified the rest of the harvest that was yet to come. Messiah rose on the Hebrew day of first fruit, when the bikoreem of the harvest was being lifted up. He was the first fruit of what was to come. And if you follow Him then you too are a bikoreem. James 1:18 says, "... that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creation." You are the bikoreem of creation. That means you're not to follow in this world. You have the power to lead in this creation, the power to go in a new direction, to live in newness of life. You don't have to follow the old anymore. You have the power of the bikoreem. So stop following the creation and start leading them to Messiah. For Messiah rose, the bikoreem that you might also become the first fruits, the glory and the promise of the good things to come.rn
