wave-loaves
The wave-loaves were offered fifty days after the wave-sheaf. This is precisely the period between the resurrection of Christ and the formation of the church at Pentecost by the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4); (1 Corinthians 12:12); (1 Corinthians 12:13). See "Church"; (Matthew 16:18); (Hebrews 12:22); (Hebrews 12:23). With the wave-sheaf no leaven was offered, for there was no evil in Christ; but the wave-loaves, typifying the church, are "baken with leaven," for in the church there is still evil.
