People were to use the time to refine themselves. One must be ready to receive such lofty information.
Furthermore, in our day the Hebrews were to do a major outreach to inform others. No matter how advanced we as a society believe we are, the Tanach (Old Testament Bible) is light years ahead.
3,000 years ago, the Hebrews were not ready. However, everything was prepared in advance.
Now it's time to re-connect. Restore the twelve tribes. Connect the world. Share the original language. Share God's plan.
The 49 days of omer is a grace period for preparation to receive God's Laws at Shavuot. The Laws (10 Commandments) are a true foundation (Yesod) for life, health, wisdom, and prosperity for now and in the world to come.
"Teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:12
"I will make them one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms." Ezekiel 37:22
Now if all of this seems a bit complicated, do not despair. It eventually becomes very clear. Open the Old Testament Bible (Tenach) and read. Don't speed through it.

When you have a question, stop and ask. Be patient. You will gain understanding. It's a remembering process.
It will come to those who approach respectfully with a sincere heart. It's a collective remembering. There is strength in unity. It's a collective restoration process.
As you teach, you learn. That is the greatest mitzvah. And you actually do collect rewards like a heavy bushel of wheat or barley on Shavuot. That reward(s) is a personal package from Almighty God. Call it your inheritance.
Those who did nothing (didn't study, tell or teach) get revisited at Rosh Hoshanna and Yom Kippur. Make sense?
Tell others. Teach your children.
Sweet Shalom, Mazel and Bracha,
LeTicia
Read Ezekiel Chapters 36-37
