Deut 26: 1-10 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.

3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the Lord thy God, that I am come unto the country which the Lord sware unto our fathers for to give us.

4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the Lord thy God.

5 And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

7 And when we cried unto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

8 And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

Aleph Beta explains that God made a covenant with Abraham that he would become a great nation and inherit the Promised Land. That same covenant was repeated to Isaac and then to Jacob. Jacob went to Egypt and as Exodus 1:7 states “they became fruitful and multiplied and became great”, but none saw the promised inheritance of the land.

However the focus of the bikkurim is all about the promised inheritance of the land. The bikkurim is about the firsfruits of the land. You are proclaiming that God honored His covenant with Abraham and you are bringing the firstfruits of the land as proof that He honored it.

The firstfruits are also a representation of the whole harvest and how God has blessed the person bringing them.

So in Revelation 7 you have 144,000 sealed which is a completion number, but it is a small number in comparison to the whole harvest but as firstfruits it is a representation of the whole harvest. After the list of the 12 tribes sealed then there is seen in Heaven the whole harvest and the fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant which the bikkurim were a proof of:

Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Strong’s H1061=”firstfruits” or “bikkurim”

1061 is the 179th prime.

Deuteronomy 26, which is about how to bring the bikkurim to the temple and what to say, is chapter 179 of the Bible.

Enoch is related to the firstfruits numerically.

Primes 1-97 add to 1061. The name Enoch is first mentioned in verse 97 of the bible. Enoch’s New Testament gematria of 1455 = 97 x 15.

Enoch’s Old Testament gematria is 84. Verse 84 of the Bible is about Abel’s firstfruits offering being accepted:

Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

It is thought that Cain did not bring his firstfruits but his “last fruits” by the wording “in the process of time”:

Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord.

According to the Chabad article listed below, the firstfruits could be brought beginning with Pentecost and ending with Hannukah. Hannukah and Enoch share the same root. Hannukah is the 84th day of the year beginning Tishri 1. Enoch has an Old Testament (Hebrew) gematria of 84. Enoch is believed to have been born and raptured (taken) on Pentecost.

There is such a connection between Enoch and firstfruits it is as if he was a firstfruit in a sense. He was taken and is the promise and representation of the whole harvest.
