What was the order of the resurrection harvest in the Old Testament economy?

The order of the resurrection harvest in the Old Testament economy was first fruits (the sampling), then the main harvest, and then the gleanings and the corners. This sequence reflects the Old Testament harvest pattern, and the largest part of the resurrection harvest occurs at Christ's coming.

Les explains that in I Corinthians 15, Paul is pointing out who are Christ's at His coming—those resurrected in the largest part of the resurrection harvest. Les reminds us that the Old Testament economy pictured this harvest in a specific order: first the first fruits, which was the sampling, then the main harvest, and finally the gleanings and the corners. This pattern shows the sequence of resurrection.
