The First Fruits, The Gathering and the Final Harvest.
These harvests are like creation and are laid out naturally to fit times and seasons of a normal years harvest. What happens with creation, are just shadows of what happens in the Spirit. That all of Old Testament Scripture does just that.
Christ said He only spoke to people in parables. “Without a parable spake He not to the people.” So that all the way up through the Law and The Prophets, and up through the birth of Christ and up until The Cross these were all just teachings through parables of looks like, sounds like but not really like of things pertaining to “The Kingdom of God at hand”.
As Christ said, 25 These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the time cometh, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but I shall shew you the Father plainly”
And so, Welcome to The New Covenant and to “The Kingdom of God at hand”, plain and clear.
So that it is us who are able to decipher the parables and turn them into New Testament realities where they have their fulfillment in the New Covenant era. That the Holy Spirit left that Jerusalem. It was at the last supper, in the upper room where they were assembled as one, when the Holy Spirit came swooshing in and instructed them to go and preach to all the world, to mean Gentile nations, saying that “The Kingdom of God is at hand” in this way, as having nothing to do with the Jews and their idolatrous man-made structures. Amen!
The Time of the Gentiles had been jump started back then with the swooshing in of the Holy Spirit with the new the last and the final “New Covenant”.
We are those whom He speaks plainly to, and just to set the Eternal truths in context, the New Covenant era started with the first-fruits harvest from the cross, to extend to the completion of the elect in the final era. For this reason “the first shall be last and the last shall be first.” And as the obstacles become greater, so does the reward. That God rewards those who diligently seek Him”, especially in the face of the end times deceptions “with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect”. To mean that THAT deception is impossible, primarily because we heard the warnings and have accepted the challenge for a greater outcome. “To the degree you have attained? SO walk ye in it.” Amen!
This is The New Will and Testament about the distribution of the deceased mans goods to the heirs starting then. That we are heirs and joint heirs of the things of Christ in this way, apart from the dillusional seekers for a second coming. Christ death is our cross-over point into Eternal life. And only in this way “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” Amen!
To also mean that the four Gospel accounts are technically associated with the end of the Old Covenant era too. That the New started with the Crucifixion, the blood shed, and the death of Christ as our needed one time sacrifice and savior of the world, past present and future and all time.
That people only sin because they were born sinners, at least until their Adamic predisposition gets reversed from fallen, to be raised back up “in Christ” through faith in His name. His name means “Savior”. This is what it means to be born again, is to have the Adamic curse reversed to pick back up where Adam jumped the track at and went off course.
That as Adam fell in understanding, for there were no broken bones or bleeding. That we who are of the resurrection are raised back up in understanding in the same place and way it happened, in our thinking. Because the mind is where the fall took place, so too the resurrection.
To make the point that the New Covenant to all the Gentile nations era started with the disciples who became Apostles by receiving the Holy Spirit to become the first fruits. They were told NOT to leave that Old Jerusalem “until you received the promise of the Holy Spirit of what you had heard from Me”, were the words of Christ to them.
It was the disciples not yet Apostles, were in the upper room behind closed doors and experienced the swoosh of the Holy Spirit, to “come down and to quote “remain upon them”. Then they started speaking in tongues from every language to signify the time of the Gentiles of all tribes languages and tongues. That the Law era was irrefutably over, for the time of the Gentiles to be in full swing, to be “from every tribe language and tongue”, to include Judea but just as another Gentile nation.
The New Covenant harvest time was in full swing. And that even the Jews could qualify, but ONLY as just another nation in the collection of the “Gentile nations”. Their Old Covenant privileges were as expired as the Law and the prophets. The New and final Covenant gave no preference of one nation over another. As a matter of fact they were told of that Jerusalem, that there would not be one stone left upon another that shall not be cast down.” This was to make the record straight. DO not be fooled by the modern day deception with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect.
So what started in the last (earthen) Jerusalem, and in the upper room, was that an exchange took place. That “old things having passed away, behold all things have become New and all things are from God. Hence “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” A phrase that had no relevance as long as the first covenant remained in effect. Even as we are taught in Galatians 3.16 Now to Abraham and his SEED (singular) were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds (plural as Jews), as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ (And we of the New Covenant are in Christ too as joint heirs of the things in Christ. Amen) 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before (as pictured in Abraham) of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed (meaning Christ) would come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Simply and irrefutably put. Amen!
So that us of “all Nations called Gentiles, in the time of the Gentiles are born again and borne from above and born of the Spirit during our time frame of the New Will and Covenant. Unless you disqualified yourself by believing in another coming one because what we have, is from the Spirit of Him who said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” And “Lo I am with you throughout the ages even to the end”. To mean He is here for us today in the same way as “at hand” for them who rejected Him who said it first. Who also said “I go to the Father and you see Me again no more.” At least in a carnal way.
It is this that the modern naysayers reject so as to find more comfort and solace in a second coming Jesus because they know that they are not saved. That just as Christ said “those who have seen Me have seen the Father”. He was NOT talking about carnal features but words and behaviors. For this Christ said “I and the Father are one”. To mean indistinguishable One from the Other. Even as Christ said, those who have seen Me has seen the Father, speaking of His Eternal self and not the flesh He became on our behalf, for us in turn to put on His body of truths as we espouse.
To mean one and the same, indistinguishable one from another.
That just as to be NOW one with and in Christ who said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” It is in the person of Christs Holy Spirit, of spirit and truth and the Kingdom at hand, that we are never left alone, without or forsaken because of these invisible truths that made the heavens and earth, but the truths surround us. For if there is any forsaking taking place it is by those who are ground bound and looking down at their circumstances in need of help! (let that sink in! Submitting to terms and conditions to whom?)
We who are “in Christ” are in Him in the way He was before”The Word become flesh and dwelt among us” WORD!. And as He calls us to Himself, we have to use the tools given to us to go to Him whose original construct is not the flesh. “For in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God and the Word was God”. So that we who are cloaked in His words, are in perfect sanctification, and “the gods of this age that come cannot touch us”.
For this reason we had to be born again. That “flesh and blood does not inherit the Kingdom.” But the re-spirited mind of faith does and it does so just as succinctly, precisely and quickly as when Adam fell. In the proverbial blink of the eye, is how we are born again and borne of the spirit.
This is why Christ said that from that time on, that “The Kingdom of God is at hand.” To mean within reach in a proverbial sense. Not to mean it is not real, but that it is more real then the flesh because all flesh returns to dust, while those who are born from above, as being born again and borne by the spirit, can come and go at will. Even as scripture says that “The wind blows where it wishes. You can hear the sound of it but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the spirit.” So as not to confuse or try to mix flesh and spirit together. And so we don’t.
With these truths laid out as such, and with the book of the Revelation, to have it open, close and sealed with this next quotes, insure for us that, all of what has been written has been expired and played out to a tee. All of the book of The Revelation has been expired with the exception of Satan’s final deception that we are likely in today.
And whereas modern day Christians try to use the Book of “The Revelation” as a play book of things yet to come that they call end times. This is the end times “dillusion” with all lying signs and wonders, if possible to deceive the Elect”, that Jesus needs to reappear as in the days of old? Blasphemy! This is being exploited and played out by Satan, by him taking scripture out of context by re-using expired prophecies as though Jesus has a second coming for people to look forward to.
But go Look! The phrase “Second Coming is not found once in scripture. You have to deny the saving for us from the Christ the Savior as evidenced at the cross, to impose another coming as if His cross was insufficient to reverse the fall of Adam, of which we opened up with the fall as just having to do with the spirit of the mind. For there was no blood shed broken bones at the fall just a misconstrued way of thinking, as The Second Coming Savior seekers suppose.. And by them doing so, they set themselves in danger to Christs previous threats of damnation for those who “add to or take away from the prophecies of this book” as we can read and understand from the opening and closing portions of the last book in the canon of scripture, but lets read this warning from 2 Peter first who wrote “18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh (as those who want to save their flesh) and through much wantonness those who had clean escaped from those who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for by whom a man is overcome, by the same is he brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again (become) entangled therein to be overcome (again), the latter end is worse with them than in the beginning. 21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness (through the saving of the cross), than, after they had known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it has happened unto them according to the true proverb: “The dog turns to his own vomit again,” and, “the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.” So too these go back to scripture over and over for another dose of saving so as to keep Christ on the cross, and in doing so never receive the finished works of Christ who said at the cross “it is finished”, but you keep Him there for confessions sake?
And as far as the last book in the canon of Scripture, the book opens with “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly (quickly and immediately) come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed are they that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep (all) those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
To mean within reach , being played out, happening and at hand, back when it was written. Showing us that what many call prophecy is really just expired History, as evidenced by the term “at hand”. That the Book of The Revelation opens with the events as happening to them as we just quoted, to then have the Book of the Revelation close similarly saying;
“6 And he said unto me, “These sayings are faithful and true,” and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 “Behold, I come quickly.” Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I, John, saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 Then said he unto me, “See that thou do it not, for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that keep the sayings of this book. Worship God!” 10 And he said unto me, “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the Assembly’s. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let those that heareth (us) say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
So then it is the first as last and the last are first in the harvest because they have had to brush off the dust of time and reassemble these truths in order for us to resemble the first fruit harvest, by us returning to “that which is from the beginning” and not an end time thing at all as many suppose. This is the gospel of truth which is quite different than the prominent “delusion with all lying signs and wonders”. The “delusion” is a hybrid word from illusion and dilute. It is the dilution of truth through time and translations that gives way to the delusion. But it is Gods Word and Gods Holy Spirit in us that still prev-ales. Gods words are eternally true for us who have awakened and risen up from the Adamic sleep as some call death as being dead and asleep to the Eternal reality that God is ubiquitous and need no formal introduction, other than we who believe we are in Christ who is in the Fathers, in Spirit and truth and time eternal. That there is nothing hidden from His sight. That all things are open and exposed in the sight of Him with whom we have to do. Amen
