The priest waving sheaf of the grains from the harvest refer to Christ and the first fruits. They are as one. Second meaning of wave offering is literal, joyful acknowledgement of all His blessings as in the case of the crowd that followed Jesus in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem waving palms.
"Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord. "Here notice the word 'morrow,' which refers to the new heaven and the new earth for which we die while in bodies. New birth is what Christ has promised,' Behold, I make all things new'.
Water baptism is a symbolic act to confess that we are no more servants to sin but our bodies as clean vessels are unto honour and glory of God. The rule 'Be not conformed to the world' (Ro.12:1-2) applies to everyone so his heavenly places are not voids but branches of the true vine, abounding in fruits of the Spirit. New meat offering is by those who have made themselves living sacrifices so they have a reasonable service to show for.
"Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the first-fruits unto the Lord." (v.17)
Two wave loaves of same weight and quality. Here the leaven indicates the working of the Word, and uniformity of loaves is what Man the message does in each body, mind and soul.
Waving as in the case of sheaves of wheat covers our calling as well as election. The passage through the sea "For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea (1 Co.10:1) foreshadows baptism by water. The Spirit brings by such instances the manner we have been predestined by God before the worlds began so our calling has not been in vain.
