  Sheaf (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a sheaf F on a topological space X is something that assigns a structure F(U) (such as a set, group, or ring) to each open set U of X.
This fails to be a sheaf because while there are many local holomorphic functions, the only functions which are bounded and holomorphic on the whole complex plane are the constant functions (see Liouville's theorem).
In early developments of sheaf theory, it was shown that giving a sheaf F on X is as good as giving a certain topological space E together with a continuous map from E to X.

 Coherent sheaf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, a coherent sheaf F on a locally ringed space X is a sheaf isomorphic with the cokernel of a morphism of O
For a sheaf of rings R, a sheaf F of R-modules is said to be quasi-coherent if it has a local presentation, i.e.
In the basic work of Serre, it was shown first that compact complex manifolds have the property that their sheaf cohomology for any coherent sheaf consists of vector spaces of finite dimension.

 29. The Wave-Sheaf
With respect to quality, it was a sheaf of barley; as to its quantity, it was a single sheaf; or, however, such a quantity as only one omer of barley was taken from it, and waved before the Lord by the priest.
This sheaf being brought to court, was threshed, winnowed, dried, and parched by the fire, and ground in a mill; all which set forth, in a lively manner, the dolorous sufferings of our Lord.
The sheaf being threshed, was expressive of his being smitten by men; of his being buffeted and scourged, by the order of the Roman Governor, by the soldiers; all in perfect agreement with the prophecy, that they should smite the Judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

The first origins of sheaf theory are hard to pin down - they may be co-extensive with the idea of analytic continuation.
The condition that F be a sheaf is exactly that F(U) is the limit of the rest of the diagram.
More precisely: to every sheaf F of sets on X there exists a local homeomorphism π: E → X such that F is isomorphic (in the sense of natural isomorphism, the isomorphism concept for functors) to the sheaf of sections of π that was described in the example section above.

The Sheaf of Firstfruits is typical and prophetic of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and his Ascension to the Father, as the "firstfruits" of the coming resurrection of all the saints.
This one sheaf represents the Lord Jesus Christ (note: Joseph, the type of the rejected beloved Son, dreams of the eleven sheaves bowing to his one sheaf - Genesis 37:5-11).
Just as the one ripe sheaf testified to Israel that a great harvest was soon to be reaped, so did the resurrection of Christ testify to the fact that soon after there would be a great spiritual harvest of souls.

 Wave Sheaf -- What We Found
As the wave sheaf was raised and then lowered Sunday morning, so Messiah ascended to heaven that Sunday morning as the Wave Sheaf Offering for us, yet He returned to earth that same day (John 20:16-19; Matthew 28:9-10).
When it came time to harvest the spring crop, the first sheaf of the firstfruits had to be offered to God first, before the rest of the harvest could be gathered in.
He is to wave [elevate] the sheaf [omer] before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave [elevate] it on the day after the Sabbath'" (verses 10-11).

Open sheaf is a regular sheaf where the spacing is chosen so the sheaf has maximum width (given the burst area of each shell) without any gaps in between.

 Understanding God's Command for the Wave Sheaf
The wave sheaf was originally offered by the children of Israel in the year that they crossed the Jordan River and entered the land God had promised to give them.
Since the day of the wave sheaf was both "the morrow after the Sabbath" and "the morrow after the Passover," there is no question that the Passover fell on a weekly Sabbath in that particular year.
Thus the sheaf of Joshua 5 was waved on the 15th of Abib, the earliest possible date.

 The Wave Sheaf Offering (No. 106b)
The Wave Sheaf Offering needs to be kept in order to understand the full implications of Christ’s sacrifice, and the power that he was given in terms of his resurrection from the dead.
The Wave Sheaf after the dispersion was understood to be waved on the first Holy Day of Unleavened Bread, and Pentecost was then determined to fall on a fixed date, namely, Sivan 6.
The sacrifice of Messiah was to be extended to the Egyptians and, hence, salvation was to be of the Gentiles.

With the open sheaf, the distance between impacts of rounds from two or more mortars is half again the distance between the bursts of the rounds in a standard sheaf.

 Waving a Sheaf of Barley
The reason for counting is that the waving of the sheaf (omer) varies on the day of the month as the Sabbath during the days of unleavened bread varies on the day of the month.
The wave sheaf and the Feast of Weeks are always on the first day of the week but we must count to determine which day of the month the Feast of Weeks occurs.
The waving of a sheaf of green barley during the days of unleavened bread is to seek a blessing for the crop.

 The Mystery of the WAVE SHEAF OFFERING Revealed at Last!
Now, this Passover sheaf was reaped in public the evening before it was offered, and it was to witness this ceremony that the crowd gathered around 'the elders,' who took care that all was done according to traditionary ordinance" (p.256-57).
Already, on the 14th of Nisan, the spot whence the first sheaf was to be reaped had been marked out by delegates from the Sanhedrin, by tying together in bundles, while still standing, the barley that was to be cut down.
When the time for cutting the sheaf had arrived, that is, on the EVENING OF THE 15TH OF NISAN (even though it were a Sabbath), just as the sun went down, three men, each with a sickle and basket, formally set to work.

It would be very helpful to the newcomer to sheaf theory if the author could explain why the functor from open sets to abelian groups is a contravariant functor, instead of a covariant one.

 The SECRET of the "Wave Sheaf"
Various end-time offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God claim that Yeshua the Messiah was the spiritual antitype of the "wave sheaf" which was offered by the high priest on the "day after the Sabbath" during the feast of Unleavened Bread (Lev.23:10-11, 15-16).
Just as the new grain could not be eaten until the wave sheaf was offered, neither could those called by YEHOVAH God begin the process of salvation until the risen Messiah had "waved" the sheaf or omer before his Father to be accepted for them.
The true fulfillment of the wave sheaf or "omer" is the 144,000, which are the FIRSTFRUITS of the harvest, then all of those called by YEHOVAH down through the centuries to the present time.

 Pentecost 2001-Ritenbaugh's Errors: Part 2
John offers no evidence that the symbolism of the wave sheaf is contradicted when the wave sheaf day immediately follows the Passover, yet he concludes that the symbolism is violated.
Whether the wave sheaf day immediately follows the Passover day or falls 72 hours after Passover, as in the year of Christ’s death, is irrelevant to the question of whether or not the weekly Sabbath from which we count to Pentecost must fall within the Days of Unleavened Bread.
John argues that the wave sheaf symbolizes the beginning of the harvest, which entails labor, and therefore should be offered on a common workday—never on a Sabbath, which symbolizes rest from labor.
