Q> Could you explain the Levitical
harvest in relation
to the latter day harvest gathering of the righteous?
A>In
Leviticus chapter twenty-three, there are three gatherings in the
year.
The three gatherings throughout the year, have been used to
typify the three
groups of the redeemed who are gathered from every generation.
FIRST
GATHERING: BARLEY WAVE-SHEAF
(FIRST OF THE FIRSTFRUITS)
When the Israelites first entered into Canaan (promised land)
it was the time
for the Barley harvest to be gathered. God commanded that a SHEAF
OF
the Firstfruits was to be offered at Passover, see Lev.23:10.
The first offering of a SHEAF OF the Firstfruits was a Barley
sheaf, because
when the plague of hail was accomplished upon Egypt it was the
time of the
Barley harvest. When the Barley in Egypt was smitten, the Barley
was in the
ear ready for harvesting. Shortly after the plague of hail which
ruined the Barley
harvest in Egypt, the Israelites left Egypt which refers to the
Passover: when
Israel came out of Egypt.
The Passover which commemorates the withdrawal of Israel from
Egypt happened
in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, see
Ex.12:2,6. The children
of the Israelites entered into Canaan about 40 years later on the
tenth day of the first
month (see Josh.4:19), being the time just before Passover which
is on the fourteenth
day of the first month. Therefore the time of the Barley harvest
was at hand in the land
of Canaan (promised land). The first gathering of the Wave-sheaf
of Lev.23:10 was
of a handful of Barley to be presented before the Lord in the
sanctuary at the time of
Passover. The offering of the Barley Wave-sheaf (handful)
represents the first gathering
of the redeemed in every generation.
The Four Beasts round about the throne in Rev.4:6 (who are
killed for the Seven
Seals Revelation fulfilling the Fifth Seal of Rev.6:9-11, and
resurrect in Rev.9:14,15; 7:1)
are the gathering which is represented by the Wave-sheaf
(handful) in Lev.23:10.
In every generation of the New Testament period, the latter
Lamb (Man-child of
Rev.12:5) personally gathers a Wave-sheaf (handful): who
collectively are 200,000,000
pairs (horses and riders, see Rev.9:16,17). The latter day Lamb
(Man-child) was first
manifested in the last generation (our day) and gathered a
handful (Wave-sheaf) who
accepted the Seven Seals Revelation at his hand. Thereafter the
spirit of the Lamb and
Chosen Vessel shall return to the dead of the past, where a
dreamworld will be replayed
that the Wave-sheaf of all past generations of the New Testament
period can be gathered.
SECOND
GATHERING: WHEAT WAVE LOAVES
(Firstfruits)
Fifty days (Pentecost) after the first offering of the Barley
Wave-sheaf, a new
offering was presented before the Lord, see Lev.23:16. The two
wave loaves
are made of wheat flour, see Ex.34:22. The two wave loaves are
baked with
leaven, as they are the Firstfruits unto God, see Lev.23:17.
The two wave loaves represent the Fellowservants (one wave
loaf) and 144,000
(other wave loaf). The Fellowservants are one group (one wave
loaf) who are to
be killed with the Remaining Bride (Brethren: Wave-sheaf) in the
spiritual wilderness
by the Babylonian Beast, fulfilling Rev.6:11. The 144,000 are the
other group (other
loaf) who shall not be killed, as they will be Sealed with the
knowledge of Present
Truth (Seven Seals Scroll) and shall enter alive into Gods
Kingdom at the Sixth Seal.
The Fellowservants and 144,000 are the two wave loaves of
Firstfruits who are
the spiritual children of the Remaining Bride (Wave-sheaf: woman
of Rev.12:6,14).
The Remaining Bride (Wave-sheaf) and the Fellowservants (one wave
loaf) shall
be killed in the spiritual wilderness by the Babylonian Beast,
being typified by the
Israelites who died in the wilderness with some of their children
(typifying the
Fellowservants) without entering into Canaan (promised land).
The 144,000 (Remnant, see Rev.7:4; 12:17) are the group (other
wave loaf)
who shall enter into the Kingdom of God during the Sixth Seal
(day of atonement)
without dying, being typified by the CHILDREN of Israel who
entered into
the land of Canaan. The Fellowservants and 144,000 are gathered
prior to the
day of atonement (Sixth Seal) with the knowledge of the Seven
Seals Revelation,
see Lev.23:27 and Rev.7:2,3. At this time, prior to the great and
dreadful day
(Sixth Seal: day of atonement) of the Lord, the Fellowservants
(one wave loaf)
and the 144,000 (Remnant: other wave loaf) shall receive and
believe the
Revelation of the Seven Seals Scroll which is now being sounded
by the Chosen
Vessel and the Remaining Bride.
The Twenty-four Elders of Rev.4:4 also represent the two wave
loaves (Fellowservants
and 144,000) of Firstfruits. Once the two wave loaves of
Firstfruits (Fellowservants
and 144,000) are gathered from this last generation, thereafter
during the three and a
half days of Rev.11:11, the Wave-sheaf of past generations shall
be gathered. Two
wave loaves (Fellowservants and 144,000) are gathered in every
generation in a dream-like
world, as Gods prophetic Word shall be fulfilled in all
generations of the past. Gods
Word begins with the last generation (our day) and thereafter
repeats the revealed Word
(Seven Seals Scroll) of salvation in all past generations that
are replayed in a dream-like
world; all be gathered (harvested) according to Gods Word
in three and a half days
of real time.
DAY OF
ATONEMENT: CLEANSING OF THE SANCTUARY
(Sixth Seal)
After the Wave-sheaf (Barley: First of the Firstfruits) was
gathered and presented
on the day after Passover, and the two wave loaves (Firstfruits)
of wheat flour
were presented fifty days later. Thereafter, on the tenth day of
the seventh month
was the day atonement (cleansing of the sanctuary). The
Wave-sheaf represents
the FIRST OF the Firstfruits who were personally gathered by the
latter day Lamb.
The two wave loaves represent the Firstfruits (Fellowservants and
144,000) who
are at this time being gathered by the Chosen Vessel and the
Remaining Bride before
the Sixth Seal (day of atonement).
In the Levitical harvest, the gathering of the Wave-sheaf
(First of the Firstfruits),
and of the two wave loaves (Firstfruits) happened before the day
of atonement.
The day of atonement in the past, represented the cleansing of
the physical
(building; tent) sanctuary (temple) by the Lords goat and
the scapegoat,
see Lev.16:7-10.
In the latter days, the Wave-sheaf (First of the Firstfruits)
and the two wave
loaves (Firstfruits: Fellowservants and 144,000) are gathered
before the great
and dreadful day of Gods anger (Sixth Seal; cleansing of
the sanctuary). In
the New Testament period, every persons body is a spiritual
sanctuary (body
and mind) where Truth (Manna) is supposed to dwell.
The people who have not the Revelation of the Seven Seals
Scroll (Hidden
Manna) dwelling (written) in their bodies (sanctuaries: temples),
shall go
through a terrible time of five months torment at the Sixth Seal
(cleansing of
the sanctuary: body and mind) to cleanse the Abomination (false
beliefs) from
their mind (sanctuary), see Dan.8:14; Rev.9:5. The 144,000 (one
wave loaf
of Firstfruits) will be the only ones Sealed with the Seven Seals
Revelation,
who shall be able to stand during the Sixth Seal (five months
cleansing of the
peoples sanctuaries (bodies and minds), see Rev.9:4;
Eze.9:6; Rev.6:17.
The cleansing of the spiritual sanctuary of the peoples
minds at the Sixth
Seal (great and dreadful day of Gods wrath upon the
rebellious) will have
already been fulfilled in every generation of the past in the
dream-like world:
during the three and a half days of Rev.11:11. During the three
and a half
days (which repeats everyones past generation in a
dream-like world to
reveal the Seven Seals), a Great Multitude will have been
gathered as well as
the fulfillment of the lake of fire in every generation, see
Rev.11:11.
After three and a half days are fulfilled, the Sixth Seal
(cleansing of the sanctuary)
shall then be fulfilled in this last generation (our day) of real
time. Gods prophetic
Word must be fulfilled as it is written: in everyones
lifetime who has ever lived
upon the earth. God is able to save those who are of a righteous
spirit to the
uttermost. In other words, where there is a righteous spirit,
there is always a
way to save that spirit.
FINAL THIRD
GATHERING: GREAT MULTITUDE
(Fruits)
On the fifteenth day of the seventh month was a feast
commemorating the
in-gathering of fruits from trees. All the fruits of the trees
were gathered
AFTER the day of atonement (tenth day, seventh month). The large
in-gathering
of fruits represented the Great Multitude of the redeemed who
shall be gathered
after the Sixth Seal (great and dreadful day of Gods wrath,
see Rev.7:9). The
Sixth Seal represents the day of atonement, during which for five
months all
the world (with the exception of the 144,000 who are Sealed with
Seven Seals)
shall go through a terrible time (five months) of trouble at the
hand of Gods
army ofSaints, see Rev.9:4; Eze.9:6. During the five months of
trouble (see Rev.9:5)
the minds of all the people will be cleansed with a knowledge
that a great Kingdom
(Gods Kingdom, NEW JERUSALEM) has, as it seems, invaded the
earth.
In the midst of the five months time of trouble the 144,000
will be taken alive
into the kingdom of God, New Jerusalem, which is upon the earth
at that time.
After the five months of torment are fulfilled upon the whole
world (those who
have not the Seal of God in their foreheads/minds) the
Firstfruits (144,000 and
Fellowservants) who shall be as super Angelic beings, are sent
out of New
Jerusalem to give the last call to Babylon (Christendom and all
nations). The
last warning shall be given to ALL nations, kindreds, and tongues
and peoples,
that Babylon is fallen, see Rev.14:8.
The Great Multitude shall not harden their hearts against
Gods last warning,
therefore they shall remove out of Babylon and enter into the
city New Jerusalem
which is enshrouded with light, see Is.2:2-4; Mic.4:1-4;
Zech.2:4-13. At the
voice of the 144,000 and Fellowservants (after the five months
torment), the
people of Babylon are told to forsake Babylon and flee to
Gods Kingdom, as
the earth shall become a lake of fire, see Rev.18:4; Jer.51:6.
The Great Multitude
shall come out of Babylon and into Gods Kingdom, because
they washed their
robes (cleansing of the sanctuary: body and mind) during the five
months of torment
whichcaused them to forsake Babylon, see Rev.7:9,13-17.
After the Great Multitude are gathered into the city New
Jerusalem, the city
returns upward back to the sea of glass (diamond) in the future
(for a thousand
years). The earth of the past (our day) shall become a lake of
fire destroying all
who are joined to Babylon (confusion). At the time of the lake of
fire which first
happens before the millenium (1,000 years), from that point on,
there remains no
more means of salvation for the wicked rebellious who were not
saved in one of
the three groups of the redeemed:
FIRST GROUP
WAVE-SHEAF (FIRST OF the Firstfruits)
SECOND GROUP
TWO WAVE LOAVES (Firstfruits: Fellowservants, and 144,000)
THIRD GROUP
FRUITS (Great Multitude)
LEVITICAL HARVEST |
HARVEST OF THE REDEEMED |
First Gathering Lev.23:10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land (Canaan) which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a SHEAF OF the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: |
First Group Rev.7:1 And after these things I saw FOUR ANGELS (Wave-sheaf OF 200,000,000 pairs) standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. |
Second Gathering Lev.23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations TWO WAVE LOAVES of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; Lev.23:17 they (two wave loaves) are the FIRSTFRUITS unto the LORD. |
Second Group Rev.4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw FOUR and TWENTY ELDERS sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. First Wave Loaf HALF of the Twenty-four Elders represent the Fellowservants (one Wave Loaf). Rev.6:11 until their FELLOWSERVANTS also and their brethren (Remaining Bride), that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Second Wave Loaf The OTHER HALF of the Twenty-four Elders represent the 144,000 (second Wave Loaf). Rev.14:1 and with him an hundred forty and four thousand Rev.14:4 These (144,000) were redeemed from among men, being the FIRSTFRUITS unto God and to the Lamb. Rev.12:17 the REMNANT (144,000) of her (woman: Remaining Bride) seed (children: Fellowservants and 144,000), Rev.11:13 the REMNANT (144,000) were affrighted (at the Sixth Seal), |
Day of Atonement Lev.23:27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a DAY OF ATONEMENT: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; Lev.23:27 and ye shall AFFLICT YOUR SOULS, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. |
Sixth Seal Rev.6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, Rev.6:17 For the GREAT DAY of his (Gods) wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Dan.8:14 then shall the SANCTUARY (minds of the people) be cleansed. Rev.9:5 they (people who are not Sealed) should be TORMENTED (afflicted) five months: |
Third Gathering Lev.23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have GATHERED IN THE FRUIT (final in-gathering) of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. Lev.23:40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of PALM TREES, |
Final Third Group Rev.7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE (representing the fruit harvest), which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne (the throne is within New Jerusalem), and before the Lamb, Rev.7:9 (Great Multitude) clothed with white robes, and PALMS in their hands; |
Is there more information on the name Koresh and its meaning of death?
