The Omer - Making Our Life Count (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499671100)

Does your life count? For what, for whom? Who is the one to make that determination? The Omer-Making Our Life Count is volume two in the Salvation Comes series, a follow-up to volume one - Passover-The Reason for Our Life. The counting of the Omer - or Sefirat HaOmer - is done in accordance to a commandment found in the Old Testament and the Torah: "You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf (omer) of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the LORD." (Leviticus 23:15-16) The beginning of this count occurs during the Passover feast and ends with the event of the giving of the law through Moses after the exodus. In Christianity, this fiftieth day has come to be known as Pentecost and the day the 120 in the "Upper Room" received the Promised One. Prior to His death on the cross and His return to His glorious state with the Father, Jesus promised His disciples that He would not leave them as orphans, that the Spirit of the Father and the Son would come to be with them, and this is in fact what happened. The Spirit of God was sent to ensure the bride promised to the Son would be delivered to Him in full and whole. In the desert after the exodus from Pharaoh, the Israelites received the commandment from the Lord through Moses and became a people married to Him. This event was a foreshadowing of the advent and gift of the Spirit of God that would come over a thousand years later to the descendants of those desert wanderers. The gift would come through a Son of that bride and of that Husband. He was an Israelite and would die as King of the Jews. But, today He is alive and is set to rule forever on the throne of David. His life counted and because of Him, ours can too. Find out how and why the Living God wants it to. Find out why He has counted you worthy to receive Him, and then receive Him and be counted in the One that counts, the One that is the count, for He is Faithful and True
