There is only one final harvest. The sheep and goats are during the Trumpets. The wheat and tares are during the Thunders. A series of 13 events that are chronologically in order leading up to the 7th Trumpet.
THIS is at the 7th trumpet... obviously the goats couldn't have been harvested, since they're going to be tossed into Armageddon as the vine of the earth... aka tares. (These guys will make war on the remnant, and we can expect to see the Inquisition happen again: The tares of the 10 kingdoms will be pretending to be the wheat... just as they do today. But the remnant will have given glory to God, and will keep the Commandments of God which were given to Jesus Revelation 12:17.)
Revelation 10:1-7 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow upon his head, and his face as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and left on the earth, 3 And cried with a loud voice, as a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. 4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, 6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: 7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
The Mystery of God is the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, Matthew 13:11... the preaching of which ends Matthew 24:14 with the death and resurrection of the Two Witnesses:
Revelation 11:12-15 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.14 The second woe is past; behold, the third woe cometh quickly.15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
... and then shall the end come. The third woe: the devil come down to earth:
Revelation 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.12 Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
The tares take the mark of the beast... and the reaping happens:
Revelation 14:14-16 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.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.16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelation 14:17-20 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.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.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.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.
The harvest of the sheep is a judgment wrapped up into a gathering. It is a harvest because those souls are going to their final destination: Eternal Life or eternal damnation. It is the end of their physical journey in Adam's flesh and blood.
Sheep, wheat, goats, and tares are just symbolic terms for Israel and all other Gentiles outside of Israel.
Nonsense, the harvest of the wheat is the harvest of good fruit, not bad. If you think this harvest needs judgment, you must also think the Galilean Disciples needed to be purged by fire... regardless of what Jesus Himself already said to the contrary.
When Jesus came back glorified, He breathed on His 11 and sent them into the world as He had been sent by the Father. They didn't hang around Jerusalem... which Jesus had already said was a house desolate Matthew 23:38-39... and wouldn't recover their hearing or sight until the land shall be left desolate, Esaias LXX Isaiah 6:8-13.
This hadn't happened yet, in Jesus' day, because Jesus says the Pharisees are blind leaders of the blind Matthew 15:14, and tells them to their face the same thing, only worse... John 9:39-41.
There were several men named Peter and John and James, back in the day... even in the NT verses. To think otherwise would be to think Jesus' own prophecies could fail.
