Meaning of counting of the Omer

[rooster]

Could i ask a question?

What is the meaning and symbolism in the counting of the Omer in Judaism?
And what is its meaning and symbolism in the messianic sense?
Meaning and symbolism analogous with the messianic symbolism of the passover and pentecost in the NT?
since the period of time the apostles was asked to "tarry" in Jerusalem prior tot he outpouring corresponds with the period of the counting, was the apostles asked to tarry possibly also because they can observe the counting because of the spiritual work it would do in them?


Much thanks

Here are some Jewish links regarding the counting of the omer. I'm sorry, I can't help out with the messianic part you're asking about...
