2 Timothy May 25 Biblical Law of 12 Small Enthusiastic Groups
Bullinger writes that from 2 Timothy 2:1 to 3:4 we have charges re: Gospel and Iniquity.
Greg Hartman in 'New Testament Imperativity' has #303 2 Timothy 2:19 'Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. There are more ways to embrace iniquity now than 2000 years ago. These should be pointed out. Though they are difficult to avoid, we should know what they are, maturely.
Maimonides' #303 is embedded in the midst, thus:
- Lev. 23:14 — Not to eat parched grains from new grain before the Omer
- Lev. 23:14 — Not to eat ripened grains from new grain before the Omer
- Lev. 23:15 — Each man must count the Omer – seven weeks from the day the new wheat offering was brought. The Omer is the period between Passover and what we now call Pentecost. Thus, for them, it seems to be a period of waiting. How did Christ fulfill this? Well, it was 40 days after Resurrection before Ascension. He rose on the 3rd day, Christ our First Fruits. Pentecost, the sending of the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truth, was after 49 days. We waited.
Love in King Jesus,

PS: Others will do this better. It's about waiting, timing, the times, knowing.
