It would have been impossible for the wheat to mature in fifty days, for them to have a first fruit offering from their labors, it would be ready in 100 days for first fruit. This would be fifty days after seventh Sabbath. Study this close for this alone proves the 50-day count begins after the seventh Sabbath.
This explains how Paul could tarry many days in, Acts 21:10, not 2 or 3 days, tracing Paul’s journey from Philippi to Jerusalem and counting the days to see if Paul went over fifty days from Passover to Pentecost. (Acts 20 -21:7) You don’t have to say many days mean 2 or 3.
Samson visited his wife in the time of wheat harvest, got mad at his father-in-law, and destroyed the wheat, along with the grapes and olives.
We believe the Scriptures count puts the wheat harvest at the end of July, and that is when the grapes, olives, and wheat were ripe. Samson was attacking ripe wheat, grapes, and olives to get revenge. It would not have been as effective to attack the trees that were not bearing because they were looking forward to the ripe fruit that Samson had destroyed. There was no Pentecost in the third moon because there were no grapes in the third moon. Nature working, again.
Paul said, “After the way they call Heresy, so worship I the Mighty One of our Fathers.” Nothing can be found that goes against beginning the count of fifty days after the seventh Sabbath, except the tradition of men. Plenty of scriptures can be found to disprove counting from the first Sabbath.

In closing, just as sure as YHWH is restoring His true Name back to His people, He is restoring His true Pentecost, and His true Sabbaths. Just like the first recorded Pentecost on the day the law was given to them written in stone there were about three thousand souls destroyed. (Ex. 32:28) In addition, when the law was written in their hearts on Pentecost years later they were about three thousand souls saved. (Acts 2:41) 3,000 on both Pentecosts.
We certainly know that this does not begin to answer all questions pertaining to this very important subject so we reserve the right to add to or change as the eyes of our understanding are opened further by the Heavenly Father YHWH, and if we have to make any changes to correct we will do so as He leads us, as all honest truth seekers should do. When we become perfect, we will not have to change any more. We will be perfect as He is perfect, and He changes not. Feel free to make copies in part or all and share with others.
