12 Who are the firstfruits?

Who are the firstfruits?
Conclusion  God takes firstfruits 3 times from among Adam to complete creation by perfecting the free will of creatures. These are the firstfruits of those who are asleep, on the Feast of Firstfruits[1], the saints who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, from the beginning of the Pentecost until now[2], and the redeemed firstfruits from among humans[3] which will be produced at the end of the Pentecost, that is, when the Feast of Tabernacles is near.[4] The firstfruits of the Feast of Firstfruits during the Passover period, symbolize the LORD Jesus, and the firstfruits of the Pentecost[5], also called the Feast of Weeks or the Feast of Harvest[6], symbolize the disciples. The firstfruits that will be produced just before the Feast of Tabernacles, also called the Feast of Booths or the Feast of Ingathering[7], will be produced at the end of the Pentecost, symbolize the sealed 144000. (Since the beginning of the day of the Pentecost, God the Holy Spirit has been coming into the saints as the early rain. Just before the beginning of the Feast of Trumpets, that is, near the end of the Pentecost, God the Holy Spirit will come to the chosen 144000 saints even as the latter rain. The Feast of Tabernacles symbolizes the 1000-year kingdom when all the firstfruits that have been produced until then are brought into new Jerusalem.)  These firstfruits are those who have overcome sin[8] by keeping the commandments[9], and therefore those who will overcome death[10] and be resurrected or transformed by the 1st resurrection. Through them, Satan's claim that the commandments cannot be kept by creatures, is exposed as false[11], and the commandments of God are firmly established in the creation world. Every creature that chooses to submit to the Son's reign of love, the reign of the commandments, will be able to keep the commandments through the love of God proved on the cross without any doubt about them, and will enter into eternal life.[12]  Since the firstfruits are the witnesses of the commandments to overcome sin and be resurrected or transformed, all those who will be resurrected or transformed, that is, all the martyr witnesses who will be raised by the 1st resurrection, are the firstfruits.[13] They are also the heirs[14] and royal priests who will inherit the possession of their Father[15], that is, the possession of the Son who inherited His Father's possession. They will be entrusted with authority in the coming 1000-year kingdom.[16]
View1: Every martyr witness	I agree with this view.
View2: Witnesses who will be transformed	Objection: The witnesses who will be resurrected are the firstfruits.[17]
View3: 2 witnesses	Objection: The 2 witnesses are those who will proclaim the eternal gospel[18] for the 1st half of the 70th week.[19]
View4: Sealed 144000	Objection: The 144000 are the last firstfruits who are redeemed from among men.[20]
View5: Some of the martyr witnesses	There may be an opinion that the firstfruits are the martyr witnesses, and the grains are the saints who will be raised by the 2nd resurrection of life.[21] But I don't think it is correct to divide the martyrs and say that only some of the martyrs are the firstfruits. The firstfruits, in other words, are the firstborn. All the firstfruits are the firstborn who will inherit the inheritance.  If we view grains as the saints who will be raised by the 2nd resurrection of life, the grains will be resurrected only at the great white throne judgment. It means that even when the 7th trumpet is sounded and the 1st resurrection of the firstfruits takes place, they will continue to sleep.[22]

These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. In their mouth was found no lie, for they are blameless.

[18] Rev.10:10 I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. They told me, "You must prophesy again over many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."

[19] Rev.11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don't measure it, for it has been given to the gentiles. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months. I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.

[20] Rev.14:1 I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him a number, one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.
