Rev 14:12-20
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The true body knows of this harvest.,
They wait for it.-they long and desire it. They are not of the deceived.
They know it is God who is allowing them to ripen, they wait to become sweet and ripe
He is allowing the ripening…..not before……
James 5:7 kjv
7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
We see here the plan of God in effect as He waits for us to become ripe. A ripening is happening in all. It is a law of God.
And ripe we will become as He works in us to bring us to the maturity of ripened fruit.
We become full……and then the harvest.
Here is the warning: Some to good, and some to evil.
Matthew 13: 24-30
Verse 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Verse 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Verse 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Verse 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Verse 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Verse 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Verse 30. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Look to Rev. 14 verse 13
Verse 13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them
No dread in this group that face the harvest.
There is rest from their labors. Their labor was long and hard. But it created works pleasing to the Father.
Their works do follow them.
We are told by the “professing preachers” of this day there are no labors and no works
In this life, but not according to the scriptures.
I will trust God and let God be true, and every man a liar.
There is a rest and there are labors.
Rest only comes from those tired from work.
These true believers are finally at a place of rest.
Life is hard for the true church. They follow the commandments of their God.
They work without ceasing to be pleasing to the Father.
They are never too tired to do the works of the Father.
As much as evil seeks to hinder and destroy the true and faithful,
No amount of ungodliness will interfere with the life of these faithful ones.
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Note the two things that show them as the true….. as the wheat and not the tares.
They keep the commandments
They keep the faith of Jesus
Here at this appointed time, all the faith and patience of Christ’s faithful servants will be a reality.
This time will prove these to be the faithful and true……
Not the counterfeit, the tares…….
They have obeyed the commandments of God and kept the faith of Jesus,
These are never separated in the true called……in death, there was found, faith and practice
Death could not even stain the righteous soul of them.
From all troubles, sorrows. Sufferings, from all calamities, infirmities, and miseries of their preceding life
No sin shall effect them anymore. They reap the comfort of all the good works
Verse 14. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Human means may be used to restrain the mystery of lawlessness.
Governments, laws, society, keep it in check for a time.
But a time will come that only God can deal with the sin by Harvest. The ripeness will demand final seperation.
The true separator steps onto the beginning of Harvest.
A sickle is used at the time of Harvest.
Harvest is sure as the Sharp sickle is in His hand, and it is set in a time and season of God.
The sickle in his hand is moments away from the separation that is going to occur…..
No mistakes, no missing a deserving one……
A time of ripeness is at hand. That time that many have considered as myth or untruths by the masses will now be the reality. “The new norm”
While earth remains, no man will mock God. The laws of the Harvests are sure and
Settled.
There are two harvests here. One of the righteous, and one of the evil.
The true harvest now comes to ripeness and the putting in of the sickle.
All will be of the two harvests.
Even the antichrist will seek to change time, to interfere with the harvest, but will not succeed. He has no power to stop the harvests. Mans unbelief will not stop the harvest.
As the righteous are spoken of, and are full and ripe for the harvest, the other side, or the unrighteous are also full and ripe…..the only holding back is awaiting the fullness and ripening of the unrighteous.
Sin began just as a one time slip up, but it soon multiplied until the fullness occurred.
The day of the Lord has not yet begun, since the world has not yet experienced the “rebellion” and the “man of lawlessness,” both of which must precede the day of the Lord.
Although the lawless one is yet to come, “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work
Paul admits readily that the same forces of deception and lawlessness are already prevalent in society
We see it in 2020. The Church as a whole has accepted all manner of sin and filth.
You can not tell the world from the church nor the church from the world. There is only a god of love preached, but the God of the Harvest will deal with these professors.
Look to:
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Yes now, the Holy Spirit of God holds back.
Even with the he holding back, look at how sin is peaking to heights unimaginable
Of any time of History.
Verse 15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
All of heaven is involved. All now know the time. All know the requirements of the separation.
These have been assigned and set aside for the ages, waiting for the time that the separation is to be.
These beings wait for their appointed times.
There is no unbelief there. They patiently await the work they have been assigned by God.
They have waited patiently, knowing that the time would be at hand of the harvest.
Verse 16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Verse 17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Verse 18. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
This vine is not the church, not the righteous. These anointed scriptures says the “vine of the earth”.
Evil cannot slumber forever. Sin has a time of awakening. Sin has a progression that is unstoppable. “Let both grow together”.
Hypocrisy will tire of its meek, innocent demeanor. It has become full and ripe for
Harvests.
Once the fruit is ripened, The harvest of sin will have to be reaped.
Let not any man put his confidence in the blinding of one’s eyes, or the slowness of the processes of evil….the unseeing is working.
Men think they can control the danger of sin in their lives….but in the end, it rules them
Its full power is not yet revealed. But it will be revealed in that day,.
There are those who treat all sin with unbecoming levity, because they do not yet see its terrible fruits.
They are playing with a biting adder, that may awake at any moment and inflict a fatal wound.
No one knows what hidden possibilities of destruction hide and await ripening, in the “harmless” flirting of undeveloped sin.
Be assured on that day of reaping, the sin in their lives will start and it will end up ripe and full on the day of Harvest.
Verse 19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Verse 20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
There will be room for all that are reaped in that day. There will be no lack of judgement. The wine press has plenty of room for all judgement.
