Harvest Season

byhisstripes · Jun 28, 2010

The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
Matthew 13:38-40

Amos 9:13
"The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills.

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield her fruit.
And your threshing shall reach unto the village, and the vintage shall reach until the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

Leviticus 26:3-5

Weeds and wheat separatet

At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.

Matt.13:24-43

Ariel · Sep 28, 2010

Do you remember the parable of the harvest--that some bring forth 30 fold or 60 fold, or 100 fold?

Let us each pray today that we can do more for the Lord, and yield greater fruit. Yes, let's pray for the 100 fold!

Be blessed!

Jesus said, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain..." John 15:16

The harvest moon is the name of the full moon during the autumn equinox (this happens during harvest season). It is known as the harvest moon because before the times of electricity and artificial lighting, the harvest moon would allow farmers to harvest their crops late into the night under the light of the full moon and would allow them to be much more productive before days began to get colder and shorter. The harvest moon would allow them to reap as much harvest as possible.

In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Ecclesiastes

[SIZE=+2]HARVEST[/SIZE]

har'-vest (qatsir; therismos): To many of us, harvest time is of little concern, because in our complex life we are far removed from the actual production of our food supplies, but for the Hebrew people, as for those in any agricultural district today, the harvest was a most important season (Gen 8:22; 45:6). Events were reckoned from harvests (Gen 30:14; Josh 3:15; Jdg 15:1; Ruth 1:22; 2:23; 1 Sam 6:13; 2 Sam 21:9; 23:13). The three principal feasts of the Jews corresponded to the three harvest seasons (Ex 23:16; 34:21,22); (1) the feast of the Passover in April at the time of the barley harvest (compare Ruth 1:22); (2) the feast of Pentecost (7 weeks later) at the wheat harvest (Ex 34:22), and (3) the feast of Tabernacles at the end of the year (October) during the fruit harvest. The seasons have not changed since that time. Between the reaping of the barley in April and the wheat in June, most of the other cereals are reaped. The grapes begin to ripen in August, but the gathering in for making wine and molasses (dibs), and the storing of the dried figs and raisins, is at the end of September. Between the barley harvest in April and the wheat harvest, only a few showers fall, which are welcomed because they increase the yield of wheat (compare Am 4:7). Samuel made use of the unusual occurrence of rain during the wheat harvest to strike fear into the hearts of the people (1 Sam 12:17). Such an unusual storm of excessive violence visited Syria in 1912, and did much damage to the harvests, bringing fear to the superstitious farmers, who thought some greater disaster awaited them. From the wheat harvest until the fruit harvest no rain falls (2 Sam 21:10; Jer 5:24; compare Prov 26:1). The harvesters long for cool weather during the reaping season (compare Prov 25:13).
Many definite laws were instituted regarding the harvest. Gleaning was forbidden (Lev 19:9; 23:22; Dt 24:19) (see GLEANING). The first-fruits were required to be presented to Yahweh (Lev 23:10). In Syria the Christians still celebrate 'id er-rubb ("feast of the Lord"), at which time the owners of the vineyards bring their first bunches of grapes to the church. The children of Israel were enjoined to reap no harvest for which they had not labored (Lev 25:5). In Proverbs the harvesting of ants is mentioned as a lesson for the sluggard (Prov 6:8; 10:5; 20:4).
Figurative: A destroyed harvest typified devastation or affliction (Job 5:5; Isa 16:9; 17:11; Jer 5:17; 50:16). The "time of harvest," in the Old Testament frequently meant the day of destruction (Jer 51:33; Hos 6:11; Joel 3:13). "Joy in harvest" typified great joy (Isa 9:3); "harvest of the Nile," an abundant harvest (Isa 23:3). "The harvest is past" meant that the appointed time was gone (Jer 8:20). Yahweh chose the most promising time to cut off the wicked, namely, "when there is a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest" (Isa 18:4,5). This occurrence of hot misty days just before the ripening of the grapes is still common. They are welcome because they are supposed to hasten the harvest. The Syrian farmers in some districts call it et-tabbakh el'ainib wa tin ("the fireplace of the grapes and figs").
In the Gospels, Jesus frequently refers to the harvest of souls (Mt 9:37,38 bis; 13:30 bis,39; Mk 4:29; Jn 4:35 bis). In explaining the parable of the Tares he said, "The harvest is the end of the world" (Mt 13:39; compare Rev 14:15).

The Lord's Harvest

Rattle the orchard’s knotted limbs
and harvest from the fray,
forsaken garnets snared in doubt,
betrothed to blind decay.

Tune your soul to the air of expectance
that wavers in the grass…
of smoke sewn into ripened groves
as hours straddle past.

The whip of wings atop the hollow
trumpets the waning year…
a song unwritten, once laid by,
reborn and shuttled near.

The Lord entwines His hand with ours
fastened to our lives
and plucks us each, while bruised and marred
as a lone protected prize.

A thousand candles pierce the shutters
tethering our stride.
The Spirit sounds a lifelong score
that tugs us to His side.

Matthew 9:36-38
few laborers for the task

But when he saw the multitudes, he
was moved with compassion for them, be-
cause they fainted, and were scattered
abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Then saith he unto his disciples, The
harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers
are few;
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he will send forth laborers
into his harvest.

Mark 6:35
Jesus feeds five thousand

And when the day was now far spent,
his disciples came unto him, and said, This
is a desert place, and now the time is passed:

Jesus answered and said unto them,
Give ye them to eat. ... Mark 6:37; Matthew 14:16; Luke 9:13

Numbers 27:17
the law of inheritance

Which may go out before them, and
which may go in before them, and which
may lead them out, and which may bring
them in; that the congregation of the Lord
be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

Zechariah 10:2
the Lord's redemption of his people

For idols have spoken vanity, and
the diviners have seen a lie, and have told
false dreams; they comfort in vain: there-
fore they went their way as a flock, they
were troubled, because there was no
shepherd.

Jeremiah 10:8
God and the idols

But they are altogether brutish and
foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

John 13:14,15
Jesus washes his disciples feet

If I then, your Lord and Master, have
washed your feet; ye also ought to wash
one another's feet.
For I have given you an example,
that ye should do as I have done to you.

Luke 10:2
Jesus sends forth the seventy

Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the laborers are
few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he would send forth laborers
unto the harvest.

John 4:35
God is a Spirit

Say not ye, There are four months,
and then come the harvest? behold, I say
unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on
the fields; for they are white already to
harvest.

2 Thessalonians 3;1
pray for us

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that
the word of the lord may have free course,
and be glorified, even as it is with you:

Galatians 6:7
applications of new principles

Be not decieved: God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.

Job 4:8
Eliphuz rebukes Job

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniq-
uity,
and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Job 13:9
Job defends his integrity

Will ye accept his person?
Will ye contend for God?
Is it good that he should search you out?
Or as one man mocketh another, do ye so
mocketh him?

Hosea 10:13
the punishment of Israel

Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have
reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of
lies: because thou didst trust in thy way,
in the mulitude of thy mighty men.

1 Corinthians 6:9
purity among believers

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall
not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idol-
aters, not adulterers, nor effiminate, nor
abusers of themselves with mankind,

2 Corinthians 9:6
God loves a cheerful giver

But this I say, He that soweth sparingly
shall reap also sparingly; and he which
soweth bountifully shall reap also bount-
ifully.

1 Corinthians 15:58
the spiritual body

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be
ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abound-
in in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as
ye know, that your labor is not in vain
in the Lord.

Ephesians 5:15,16
the ways of the believer

See then that ye walk circum-
spectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, the days
are evil.

sow a habit ... reap a character
sow a character ... reap a destiny

Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.

Thank You, Lord for a very fruitful year. Thank You for the ability to prepare for the winter months. Thank You for the food this house banked, the game that's been harvested, the fish that are tucked away in the fridge and all the many other blessings You bestowed upon this family this year. This was a bountiful and abundant harvest season. This family is very blessed.
