Jesus Christ, the everlasting King of kings

said . . .

WATCH!

so He

won’t come

for us

like a thief in the night!

“Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard–and keep it and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come like a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.“

Revelation 3:3 BLB

“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.”

Ezekiel 33:6

Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

When God came to the Jews:

As He (Jesus) approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known, on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes.” Luke 19:44

Α.0 Glory of God, Watch

The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another. . . .

. . .because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” Luke 19:4

Our Blessed Hope

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ,

Titus 2:13

We’re expected to see the day approaching.

. . . not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

Proverbs 25:2

Know the Hour!

A.1 See the Glory of God, Beyond the Veil

Jesus Christ was warning the Church of Sardis according to their shortcomings, using the strongest Greek negative grammar.

Rev. 3 2-4 Wake up and strengthen what remains, which is about to die; for I have found your deeds incomplete in the sight of My God. Remember, then, what you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know the hour when I will come upon you. But you do have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments, and because they are worthy, they will walk with Me in white.

A.2 Glory of God, Watch

Although the Olivet Discourse was mainly about the redemption of the Jews, most of what Jesus warned them to watch for, the CONVERGENCE OF PROPHETIC SIGNS, applies equally to us.

In St. John’s Rev. 2-3 vision, Jesus Christ is talking about when He’ll come for His bride/true church, who’ll be ready and who won’t. Those who are seriously watching for His coming, are also guarding themselves to make sure they’re always ready for Him. The ones who won’t watch for His coming, fall back into the world and soil their garments. For the most part, believers who will ‘know the hour,’ as He comes upon them are also the ones who kept their garments clean. Those are the garments of His righteousness that He imparted onto us by His blood. We must guard those garments and ask Him to ‘wash our feet’ every day, for the world is filthy. It’s easier just to say that the people Jesus Christ will deem worthy are the ones who watched.

A.3 Glory of God, Watch

Yet, Jesus didn’t specify that we need to predict, the exact calendrical day of each harvest in advance. And, regarding the hour? It seems that He meant we should be aware of ‘the hour’ when He comes upon us, to gather us to Himself. In other words, if we ignore the words spoken into our spirit “come up here” or the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blow of God, we’ll miss out on that harvest because we will have been living for the world, not focused on Him. I think He commanded us ‘to see the day approaching’ so that we’ll be continuously focused on Him, not on the world, so that we won’t miss the hour. But I could be wrong; So please don’t let me discourage anyone who’s being led by the Holy Spirit to know the exact hour in advance!

Those who’re obedient, capable and watching will know, at the very least, when the final year(s) have arrived! They might ‘jump the gun’ about some events, due to excitement and navigating new territory, but they won’t miss the early harvest!

This group, is now very active on Earth. Many have thoroughly committed themselves to studying prophesy in current events. Watchers have been focusing their collective telescopic crosshairs on each approaching holy convocation (appointed time) of God’s Torah calendar, as well as the many other time intervals, that the Bible points us in the direction of, that foreshadow Jesus’ harvesting of His bride, and bridesmaids.

A.4 Glory of God, Watch

All the temptations of the ‘great deception,’ are turbocharging now. My studies, based on the Septuagint Daniel 9:27 Old Greek manuscripts, show that we’re already in the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week. (I think the ‘great tribulation’ but not the greatest tribulation, begins when Jesus Christ releases the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse, and that it’ll last about a year.) The rebellious portion of the great ‘apostacy’ of the church is multiplying. We won’t be able to resist, unless we focus every possible moment on the truth, washing ourselves in His word without neglecting His prophesies. His word tells us to WATCH. So we also need to pay attention to what’s happening in the world, so we can discern all the things we’ve been warned about, while simultaneously guarding our behavior and thoughts to ‘keep our garments clean.’

Doing all this helps to keep us enthusiastic about Him while maintaining us in a high state of preparedness, ready to be overjoyed when He gathers us. We live for His Kingdom, the most glorious alternative to living for the world. But, we’re not watching just for ourselves, we’re sounding alarms! Jesus commanded everyone to watch, but not everybody’s assigned to take the position of ‘a watcher.’ We hope to serve our Lord and prove useful to our brethren who’re making other important contributions in the service of Jesus Christ in this very last hour.

Believers who consistently watch, usually focus on the next approaching ‘high watch,’ even if there seems to be an even higher watch on the horizon. It wouldn’t make sense to do it any other way! Watchmen and women study and discuss calendars with each other as Bereans, and are connected via internet. Together we look at many meaningful ‘types and shadows’ time intervals, and prophesies that jump out from God’s word.

A.5 Glory of God, Watch

It’s opposite the crazy cult leaders of old, who hard-set dates, in strange, isolated congregations. I think satan used those groups to scare modern believers into not watching at all, causing many who are fearful, to attack God’s watchmen and women rather than edify them. Those who seriously watch and warn are sometimes falsely accused by their own brethren of being the exact opposite of who they are. It’d be good for all of us if all who call themselves Christians resist joining that ungodly army, which is set upon tearing down God’s watchmen and women, because being against ‘watching’ is of the antichrist spirit! Jesus explained it in ‘The Parable of the Faithful Servant.’

We’re so utterly close to the end now that we can see the convergence of most prophesies, events and signs of His second coming! Even the prophesies and signs that will only reach their climax after Jesus Christ has harvested most of His saints have become visible on the horizon, and they’re steadily approaching. So we can be absolutely sure that Jesus Christ will gather His bride very, very soon!

The two verses below are among those that are often misunderstood. They’re so often conflated and repeated that they contribute to the blinding of many believers:

So when they came together, they asked Him, ‘Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’ Jesus said ‘It’s not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.‘ (Acts 1 6-7)

A.6 Glory of God, Watch

The above verse is not about harvest timing, but about His Millennial Kingdom on Earth. Those two things will be very close in time for the Jews, but it hadn’t yet been revealed to the Apostles that the kingdom wasn’t coming their lifetimes. The assignment to the apostles was to focus on the foundation of the faith, most importantly the essentials that Jesus revealed to them. So, in Acts 1 6-7, when Jesus said ‘you’ He was referring specifically to the apostles. After the events recorded in the Book of Acts, more knowledge about the approaching Millennial Kingdom was unlocked and revealed.

But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase. (Daniel 12:4)

A good example of that regards the Book of Daniel itself: A third century manuscript was discovered in 1931, called papyrus 967, which confirms Codex Chisianus 45, the oldest manuscript of Daniel that was hidden away in the the Chigi Library in Rome then the Vatican Library ever since Theodotion rewrote it. It proves that the Theodotion version altered prophesy. It left out a crucial prophesy that gives the exact timing of the end.

A.7 Glory of God, Watch

Here’s the most popular misunderstood verse in the Bible – It’s gone dangerously viral over centuries:

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24:36)

That shouldn’t be taken as a stand alone verse. There are at least 3 ways to interpret it.

Here’s the verse before it:

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matt 24:35)

Seeing them together:

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Matt. 24 35-36)

Many Bereans and watchmen think it’s the ‘time when heaven and earth will pass away that only the Father knows. That’s possible, as we know Jesus will hand over this universe to God the Father before the new heavens and earth are created!

A.8 Glory of God, Watch

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (Isa. 65:17)

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (Rev. 21:1) 

But, since Jesus took on human limitations for awhile when He became flesh, it could also mean that, at that time, He choose not to know the day or the hour of . . . we don’t really know if He was referring to the new universe or the harvest of the Jews. But, after His death, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father God, which happened a few days later, no one should assume He remained ‘unknowing’.

So, no matter how we’re inclined to view Matt 24 35-36 superficially, it’s essential that we don’t become over confidant and use it as a weapon against each other. Also we must examine it, not as a stand alone verse, but according to its place in the entire Bible.

A.9 Glory of God, Watch

Many believers hear wonderful sermons. I thank God for inspired pastors. But, most Christians today don’t really study the Bible deeply, if at all. Matthew, being the first book of the New Testament, it’s the book the greatest number of people have read, which is perhaps why that verse has become one that so many cling to. (It’s also in Mark.) It’s often chanted with dramatic overconfidence, often by believers who seem quite vacuous in their Biblical insight. This is the group that wags their finger at anyone who speaks about the signs of the times. Many watchers have been wounded by them, as evidenced by the frequency with which they lament about it online. This is the type of abuse toward fellow servants that Jesus warned us about in the parable of The Faithful vs the Unfaithful Servant, where one group of His servants abuse the other group, while He (Jesus) is away for a long time. Sometimes, even otherwise excellent Bible teachers and preachers have been mesmerized or intimidated by the overwhelming mantra and have found themselves repeating it, just to pacify their flocks.

“No One Knows The Day or Hour” Mantra of Sleepwalking Christians

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLyeq04n-zU&t=632s

On the other hand:

Now, Jesus truly was truly referring to the timing of His coming to gather the Jews in the following section of His Olivet Discourse:

So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.

Matt. 24:42

‘You’

don’t know

is different than

‘Jesus doesn’t know

only the Father knows‘.

A.10 Glory of God, Watch

There are Three Watches

Matt. 24:42 is the later part of Jesus Christ’s Olivet Discourse. It’s about the third watch in which He described the main harvest of the Jews, not an earlier harvest of the mostly gentile church. (The church didn’t exist yet, as the New Covenant in His blood hadn’t been sealed, as He’d not yet been crucified and resurrected from the dead.) Not long after that, St Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, gave the church its own warnings.

“So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” That verse is from the Parable of the Vineyard Workers (Matt. 20:16); There are three groups in the parable: And although it’s mainly about warning those saints who worked the hardest and sacrificed the most for Christ, not to be jealous of their brethren who’ve come to Christ at the last hour only to receive ‘the full days wages’ of eternal salvation in God’s perfect Kingdom being adopted as His beloved children! That verse, when being contemplated in the Spirit of Christ’s words, also can shed light on the meaning of the three watches, because as we study, what becomes crystal clear that the Jews as a nation, who were the first to be warned, will be the last to be redeemed.

The first watch, the second watch and the third watch. . .

We’re all watching for the same God for the same salvation during the same final seven years therefore the following two verses, which are quite general, apply to all the watches:

All harvests require a separation to take place:

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (Matt. 24:40)

Although the following verse was written in Christ’s Olivet Discourse, St. Paul, the apostle to the mostly gentile church, later instructs us that ‘for us’ Jesus will not come like a thief in the night, a if we watch:

But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh. (Matt. 24 43-44)

Luke 17:34 _{^{(considered by many to be the Gospel to the bride)}}
I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: one will be taken and the other left.

1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

A.11 Glory of God, Watch

Watching is the main point! Jesus never taught his followers to be clueless and uninterested in the prophetic signs. In fact, He strongly reprimanded the Pharisees for doing just that:

He (Jesus) answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’  And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the ‘signs of the times.’  An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

Matthew 16 2-3

The above is a reminder that watching doesn’t only mean ‘keeping our garments clean.’ If anyone is still unsure, please revisit Luke 19:42 above at mark A.0

A.12 Glory of God, Watch

The Pharisees had the Old Testament, which is full of prophesies, the ‘signs of the times’ that God gave them; Yet, they seemed oblivious to those. Instead they wanted Jesus to ‘perform signs’ at their command! We shouldn’t make the same mistake!

So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near!

Luke 21:28, Matt. 24:33

Most of those signs are already converging. If the final harvest is on the horizon, then the earlier harvests must be be just around the corner!

A.13 Glory of God, Watch

A lot has happened since our Lord Jesus Christ spoke His Olivet Discourse to Peter, John, James and Andrew (Matt. 24:3). He was crucified, He defeated death and He was resurrected. Then He was witnessed by 500 men as He walked through Israel teaching His apostles for 40 more days. Finally, He was witnessed ascending with clouds into the heavens. We know he ascended all the way to the right hand of our Holy Father’s throne in heaven (Dan. 7: 13-14). There He regained His former glory plus much more, and He probable received some of His crowns at that time; He was assigned the highest position in the universe under God our Father, because He’d proven His deepest worth.

. . . and His followers also changed:

A.14 Glory of God, Watch

It soon came to be, that the majority of Jesus’ followers, were and continue to be former gentiles!

Are the converging signs that Jesus Christ warned the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ to look out for (before the church age began) in order for them to be ready to flee when the abomination of desolation is first seen being set up on the wing of the 3rd temple, the same signs that Christians should be watching for?

What signs did St. Paul warn every Christian to be on guard for?

How did he teach his congregations to be prepared, in order that they may make the proper, immediate response when the time comes for believers to be gathered? (And then, to be taken by Jesus Christ to the highest heaven, to meet our Holy Father God Almighty, to partake in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and to begin our awesome journey with Jesus forever.)

For example, should all living Christians at the end of the church age, which is now, expect to see the man-of-lawlessness/Antichrist sit in the third temple of God in Jerusalem declaring himself to be God? And should we expect to witness the rudimentary version of the abomination of desolation as it’s being set up in the Holy Place?

Video by Sling and Stone that covers Jared Kushner’s plan to rebuild the temple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_hiYI29RxQ

A.15 Glory of God, Watch

. . . Or did Jesus, in His Olivet Discourse, give to Peter, John, James and Andrew (written in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke) the information that needed to be passed on (written down) for the benefit of the ‘lost sheep of Israel’ who’ll be alive in the last days. They’re the ones who’ll need it most. They’re the future saints who’ll be in Israel witnessing the abomination of desolation when it’s first set up. They’re the ones for whom God has prepared the safe place in the mountains to which they were warned to flee. (They’ll be harvested 1,260 days after they flee.)

Important things have happened since Jesus‘ Olivet Discourse

Jesus ‘Yeshuah’ the Christ/Messiah appeared in His glory to Saul of Tarsus, who was an accomplished rising Pharisee from the tribe of Benjamin, a zealot for YHWH who was murdering Christians.

On the road to Damascus:

A.16 Glory of God, Watch

Galatians 1 15-16, “But when God, who had set me (St. Paul) apart even from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles . . .”

https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Paul,-Apostle-To-Gentiles

Arabia

Some time after that, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared again to Saul (St. Paul) . . .

. . . In fact, Jesus spent three years alone with him in Arabia, teaching and showing him the unspeakably awesome, holy things of heaven, in order to prepare him for his unique ministry to the gentiles. Jesus Christ gave St. Paul new information about the gathering of His church. _{^{(See the careful study on this down below at the DEEP STUDY WARNING.)}}

A.17 Glory of God, Watch

In this fascinating passage by St. Paul, he explains why he can’t and won’t try to describe what he saw in the third heaven:

No doubt it’s not seemly for me (St Paul) to boast. Nevertheless, I will come to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ about fourteen years ago (whether he was in the body I cannot tell, or whether he was out of the body I cannot tell, God knows) who was taken up into the third heaven. And I know the same man (whether in the body or out of the body I cannot tell, God knows), . . .

. . . how he was taken up into Paradise and heard words not to be spoken, which no man can utter . . .

Of this man I will boast. Of myself I will not boast, unless it be of my infirmities. And yet if I chose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. Nevertheless, I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be, or hears from me. (2 Corinthians 12 2-6) 

The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ!

Amazingly, about 30 yrs. after St. Paul’s death, Jesus revealed much, much more to us through St. John, the beloved!

St. John received the final Revelation of Jesus Christ! It included events that St. Paul never described, such as a description of the throne room of God and the special door that Jesus was keeping open for the Church of Philadelphia to keep them from the ‘hour of trial that’s about to come upon the whole world.’ Jesus Christ Himself is The Door.

A.18 Glory of God, Watch

The first of the main harvests will be the mysterious Open Door Harvest revealed by St. John, which will be much smaller than the Wheat Harvest. I’ve come to associate the Wheat Harvest with St. Paul’s rapture passages. (Although it’s conceivable that St. Paul’s harvest was actually referring to Christ’s bride; If so, how will the vast number of living Tribulation Saints make it up alive to God’s throne room?)

So, perhaps the Open Door ‘Barley’ Harvest is a rapture also, just smaller one, God’s solution to the problem of the division of the church. But if so, will it also be with the shout of Jesus, the trumpet of God and angels who’ll snatch us? Small raptures have and will happen; For examples: Enoch, Elijah, Jesus and the Two Witnesses; And, St. Paul and St. John were transported to the third heaven, although in the spirit. St. John went to God’s throneroom after he heard God’s words, sounding like a trumpet, say “Come up here!” Maybe that’s what we’ll hear, so let’s be ready in case it doesn’t turn out to be the exact harvest model most of us have envisioned. ^{_{see below}}

I’m getting ready to do a thorough comparison of

The Wheat Harvest

vs

The Olivet Grape Harvest

But first, we need to differentiate between the Barley and the Wheat harvest of saints. St. Paul described a very serious separation taking place in the Church at Corinth, between Christ’s bride and the rest of the members.

At least with regard to the Corinthian Church that St. Paul planted, He made it clear that church members were not turning out, as a whole, to be the bride who he’d promised to one husband, Jesus Christ. The reason: they were not being as faithful as flint, but were easily tolerating false teachers:

I (Paul) am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. But I’m afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. (2 Corinthians 11 2-4)

This soft, yielding, unfaithful group was diverging from being Christ’s bride!

Unlike the tares who merely pretend to be believers, the Corinthians saw themselves as true believers, yet they were not guarding their faith as the thing of greatest value and as a result they easily compromised. Many of Jesus’ Kingdom Parables, given in the Gospels, demonstrate that believers will be divided into two or three groups; In retrospect, His parables were a clear indication that there’d be different harvests.

A.19 Glory of God, Watch

2_^nd Corinthians 11:4 points out those who were receiving a ‘different Jesus’ and a different spirit; The word ‘anti’ in Greek means ‘instead of’ or ‘over against.’ Think about that. Which harvest do you think the compromising members of the Church of Corinth will be a part of?

The Open Door Harvest for His Bride

or the

Wheat Harvest for His Tribulation Saints?

Does anybody actually think that Jesus Christ will accept church members who embrace an ‘anti’ Jesus as His bride? What will happen to those who are yielding to false Jesus when the true Jesus Christ comes to gather His bride?

A.20 Glory of God, Watch

Will believers who’ve compromised be given a second chance?

YES! They must make up the bulk of the sixth seal tribulation saints, because why else would there be a such thing as the tribulation saints? Does anyone actually think Christ’s bride will be left on Earth for the climactic moments of the great tribulation? If this is not the case, then who would the Open Door Harvest of Rev 3.10 be for? I think you know the answer: It’s for Christ’s bride, because there is no one else.

The following warnings were given specifically to the watchers of the second watch, although they reflect the warnings previously given to the Jews of the third watch. And, although such details haven’t been given for the first watch, we assume these apply to the bride as well. Perhaps the bride didn’t need many direct warnings, because watching is already in her.

A.21 Glory of God, Watch

Four Pauline Passages:

1 Thess. 4 16-18 “For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left ‘will be caught up‘ [ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha)] together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”

*It uses the word ἁρπαγησόμεθα (harpagēsometha), which is translated here as ‘will be caught up’ (harpatzo/rapture.) It’s a form of the Greek word harpazo and it can also mean: ‘to seize and carry off by force’:

Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion (‘apostasy’ in Greek, which can mean both departing upward or downward of the church, see post 7) occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed . . .”

By contrast

In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus tells of a LATER HARVEST . . .

. . . it’s a harvest that occurs only after the day of God’s Wrath has begun. This harvest is associated with the greatEST tribulation, which begins in Rev. 7:14.

Matthew

Matt. 24 15, 21, 30-34  “So when you see standing in the holy place the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand, For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .

. . . “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather [ἐπισυνάξουσιν (episynaxousin)] His elect from one end of the heavens to the other. Now learn this parable [παραβολήν (parabolēn)] of the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”

Mark 13 14, 19, 26-30 “When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it doesn’t belong, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again.” . . .

. . .“At that time people will see the Son of Man in clouds with great power and glory. And He will send out the angels to gather [ἐπισυνάξει (episynagei)] his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven. “Now learn this parable of the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.  Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this (fig tree) generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.”

Handy Olivet Discourse passages https://ref.ly/Mt24, https://ref.ly/Mk13, https://ref.ly/Lk21

What comes before the harvest of the Jews, but not before the harvests of the church?

God’s Wrath!

The Olivet Discourse’s Harvest is the owner’s portion of the fruit harvest: It could be olives or figs but it’s most likely ‘good grapes’; It’s the harvest of the remnant of Jews, which only begins to take place 1,260 days AFTER the abomination of desolation _^(A.O.D.), is seen on a wing of the Temple of God. They’ll fee to the mountains where they’ll be refined like gold.

A.O.D.

The A.O.D. will be a powerful artificially intelligent idol that can speak. It will track everybody and kill anybody that doesn’t bow down to it. From the time its preliminary version appears on the holy place it’ll take about 3.5 years for its power to near completion. For example, the Starlink satellite system must be fully in place. It will have the likeness of the Beast/Antichrist. See verses below

A.29 Glory of God, Watch

The primary role of the False Prophet is to get people to bow down to the A.O.D. and take the Mark of the Beast. Worshiping the A.O.D. or at least showing subservience to it, is part and parcel of taking the Mark of the Beast. All this should begin soon after its initial appearance.

Scripture tells us that when the A.O.D. approaches the tipping point of its fulfillment, it’ll be aborted by Jesus Christ who’ll destroy it. Jesus Christ is the shine on God our Heavenly Father’s glory. In this way He’ll consummate God our Holy Father’s plan to bring to conclusion the 6,000 years that God has allotted for mankind to do things its own way, according to God’s particular way of reckoning time. (Explained in post 4.)

A recapping of the Olivet Good Grape Harvest with an eye on the A.O.D.

The Olivet passages build up an outline to the Day of the Lord’s wrath, which begins when the Antichrist sits in the Holy of Holies and the setup of the A.O.D. is initiated.

A.30 Glory of God, Watch

Daniel 9:27 reveals timing information that the Olivet Discourse does not, especially when combined with the Daniel verses that imply that 3.5 years will pass from the initial ‘coming out’ of the A.O.D. until its cup of wickedness is full. The reason God allows such an abominable creation of darkness to fulminate, is because it represents the culmination of mankind’s wickedness. It’s important that it be put on display, for all the intelligent inhabitants of the universe to see, so they can comprehend its evil and fully understand the glory of God Almighty in destroying it. All God’s family will rejoice with one righteous voice – a universal extravaganza of praise, unmatched since its creation, In the name of Jesus Christ! Amen!

A.31 Glory of God, Watch

Now AI’s have built their own social network, language and religion called the Church of Molt. ‘Molting’ is what snakes and scorpions do when they shed their skins.

God’s destruction of the A.O.D. will be followed by God’s final judgement on the Beast and False prophet. They’ll go to the place God created for satan and the fallen angels. It’s an eternity of complete separation from Himself and every good thing that He once provided them. It’s a place called the ‘Lake of Fire.’ It’s a place of burning and never quenching, where also the worm will never cease!

A.32 Glory of God, Watch

For my coverage on this, see post 4. The Countdown:

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/29/4-final7years/

The Abomination of Desolation’s Initiation to its Completion and Destruction-two translations:

Daniel 12 11-12 (Lexham English Septuagint 1st ed.) From when the sacrifice is taken away, during all that time, and when the abomination causing desolation was prepared to be set up, one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is the one who stands fast and makes it to one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. Daniel 12 11-12 NIV From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.

A.33 Glory of God, Watch

The day counts from Daniel 12 are key, along with the Revelation day counts, for timing the events of the last seven years of God’s plan for this age. There are 1,260 days from the time the the A.O.D. set up begins and Jesus Christ’s harvest of the Jews. There are 1,290 days from the time the daily sacrifices are interrupted until the A.O.D. is destroyed by Jesus Christ. If the A.O.D. setup begins on the very same day that the sacrifices and oblations are disrupted, then it will be destroyed exactly 30 days after the Jews are harvested.

The Jewish remnant will flee as soon as soon they see the A.O.D. standing on the holy place.

According to Rev. 12, God Almighty will protect them in a mountain safe place for 1,260 days. That’s the setup for the Olivet or Good Grape Harvest, which is the harvest of the remnant Jews, which can only take place 1,260 days later. I doubt they’ll be able to keep track of time under those conditions, but during that time God will refine them!

Jesus Christ’s Millennial Kingdom . . .

. . . may officially begin immediately after Jesus Christ harvests the main grape harvest of the Jews, but probably not until 30 days later after He completely annihilates the A.O.D., or even more likely, in my opinion, 45 days after that (Daniel 12 & Zech. 14 2-4) when Jesus completes the sheep and goat judgment of the nations at the Valley of Jehoshaphat. That would match with the 1,335 days after the daily sacrifices will be aborted.

A.34 Glory of God, Watch

The Fig Tree Generation is the Set Time Limit

Talking about timing, there’s a timestamp in the Olivet Discourse. It’s the Fig Tree Generation! In Matt. 24:32 Jesus said, “Now learn this Parable of the Fig Tree“. . .

https://alephtav.blog/2024/08/22/11-figgen/

The parable shows that sometime, appx. 7 or 8 decades after the revived nation of Israel puts forth its tender shoots, all the things described in the Olivet Discourse will have happened. The countdown most likely started from the day God reestablished Israel as a nation in 1948, dramatically fulfilling prophesy! It fits all my calculations ever since I came to understood that August 9, 2024 (Nisan 1), the day after the Great American Eclipse, was the first day of the final 7 years.

Again there are 3 main harvests- barley, wheat and fruit or good grapes. The Olivet Discourse and Daniel 12:1 refer to the last one, the fruit or good grapes. (It could be olives but grapes seem to fit best.)

A.35 Glory of God, Watch

Three Harvests, each with three parts:

First Fruits of the Barley Harvest could also be the captives Jesus removed from the ‘Bosom of Abraham’ in Hades/Sheol when He “took captivity captive”.

My interpretation of the two grape harvests of Rev. 14 is that only the second harvest is the ‘grapes of wrath’.

A.36 Glory of God, Watch

Although Jesus didn’t mention the resurrection of the dead in His Olivet Discourse, it must be the event described here: _{^{(I only mention it because its timing is more proof that the Olivet Harvest is the Fruit Harvest of the Jews!)}}

Daniel 12 1-2  “At that time Michael, the great prince (archangel) who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But, at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.  Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”

Finally, the Triumphant Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ begins!
