Chapter 1:
Aviv Barley Simplified
This study explains the annual Aviv barley inspections in simple terms so that anyone can know how Nazarene Israel qualifies the witnesses to the Aviv barley.
Establishing the Head of the Year (8 Chapters)
Chapter 2:
First Fruits? Or False Fruits?
In “First Fruits? Or False Fruits?” we explain why Yahweh wants us to bring Him the very first full sheaf of barley that comes ripe in the land of Israel. We also explain why Yahweh does NOT want us to bring Him just a random sheaf of barley from the middle of the barley harvest. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to be sure to keep the feasts at the right time.
Chapter 3:
Let’s Not BREAK Deuteronomy 16
This study explains why we do not use the Karaite Aviv Barley sightings.
Chapter 4:
Where is Spring Commanded?
This study explains how four calendar systems (the Rabbinic Jewish, the Equinox, the Lunar Sabbath, and the Karaite calendars) all want to begin their calendar year after the Spring Equinox–and how this requirement does not exist in Scripture. It also shows why the Passover can take place before the Spring Equinox.
Chapter 5:
Where is Equinox Commanded?
This study explains why many Karaites and Messianic believers are unwittingly practicing sun worship by “waiting for spring” before keeping the Passover, even when the barley is aviv (medium dough). It also explains how, if you believe the Passover cannot take place in winter, or if you feel you must “wait for spring” before celebrating the Passover, then you are unwittingly practicing sun worship, as “waiting for spring” or “waiting for the Spring Equinox” is not commanded anywhere in Scripture.
Chapter 6:
Josephus, the Talmud, and the Omer
This study explores why Josephus disagrees with the Talmud regarding the Wave Sheaf Offering (or the Omer), as well as why the Karaites (Sadducees) claim not to follow the Talmud, but secretly do.
Chapter 7:
The Error of Harvestable Fields
In this study we explain how the (Karaite) doctrine of “Harvestable Fields” is born of a spirit that wants to deny Yeshua (Jesus) as the Messiah–and how this leads to all kinds of problems and distortions in the calendar. Please join us in praying for them.
Chapter 8:
Did Ancient Israelites Qualify Their Fields?
This study shows how some Messianic aviv barley search groups follow a false doctrine of “qualifying their barley fields”, and why this doctrine is wrong.
