There are three harvests per year.
You have the Spring, for the Barley, then in Summer, the Wheat harvest . Interestingly enough I was reading something last night about the grape harvest and it actually starts in Israel right after Shavuot and continues until around September/October when we have Sukkot. Other crops come in at that time as well.
1. So in reality you have a designated Spring harvest when the year starts which would be First Fruits following Pasach, which is represented by Yeshua.
2. Then you have the Summer harvest of wheat- which would be around Shavuot, represented by the 3,000 Jews who believed after the Resurrection.
3. Now you have left the Fall harvest, which if indication is correct in the agricultural sense, there are more smaller harvests between the wheat and the final and last harvest of all things growing, which ends with Sukkot.
This is interesting to note as well: "Barley and wheat were planted in the autumn and ripened in spring."
Shavuot celebrates the filling of the storehouses with grain, this is the end of the grains harvest.
Now comes the fruits of the trees and vines--- as you can see below, Grapes from the vine are harvested for four months, following Shavuot, all through till Sukkot. Does this mean there has been an ongoing harvest of believers after the Shavuot following the resurrection?
Check out this chart
View attachment 177456
In the Torah we read From Deut 8:8
Wheat-----------------Grain
Barley-----------------Grain
Grapes ----------------vines
Figs--------------------Tree
Pomegranates--------Tree
Olives------------------Tree
Dates ------------------Tree (honey comes from dates too)
So these amount to SEVEN harvests, now of course they grew other things but this is what it says about the land and I think it's there for more than just promoting these seven things.
So that amounts to
2 Grain harvest
1 Vines harvest
4 Tree harvests
Yeshua said he was the 'True' vine-----------we only have 1 vine harvest
Throughout the bible men are represented by trees
Now taking the fact that the Wheat and Barley are planted in the Fall, could these two grain harvests represent those that come in after the rapture?
I won't derail this thread, I'll start another one on that.
But could you please explain these things you said?
