Spillover from ‘the day no men knew’

1 Corinthians 15: 51-52, Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Matthew 14:31, And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

There are three harvests barley, wheat, and fruit or good grapes. The Matt. 24 verse and the 1 Corinthians verse above are referring to different harvests.

Now here’s a verse that’s been has become a mantra blindly repeated:

Matthew 24:36 “that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but my Father only.”

There are three things in Matthew 24 that Jesus could have been referring to when He said that. There’s the verse that precedes it: ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. Maybe Jesus was saying that not even He Himself knows the day and hour when heaven and Earth will pass away. Jesus could also have been referring to the the day and hour in which the abomination of desolation will first be seen standing in the holy place, verse 15. It’s the main set off event within all the signs that should alert the Israelites to flee to the mountains. Only in the verse following Matt. 24:36 does Jesus mention the days of Noah, which is a lead in to the part where He says “two men will be in the field, one will be taken and one will be left. . .” Then He says something that sounds similar in verse 42,“Therefore keep watch, because you (YOU) do not know on what day your Lord will come.” But, it’s up to us to recognize that there is a big difference between ‘no one (not even Jesus Christ Himself’) and ‘you’! Especially since the the key point He was making was FOR THEM was TO WATCH!(parentheses mine)

About three years later, through St. Paul, Jesus also gave the church warnings to WATCH. But, in Matt. 24:42, Jesus’s instructions directed to the future Israelites who will witness the setup of the abomination of desolation on the wing of the third temple of God, those who God will have prepared a place for in the mountains. Those who will listen.

When I originally wrote this post, like many people, I thought Matt. 24 was referring to ‘the rapture.’ But, with years of nearly non stop studying, my best understanding has necessarily diverged from the conflated mainstream views. I think Matt. 14:36 was referring to part of the Fruit or ‘Good Grape’ Harvest of the Jews that will take place after they’ve been protected by God for 1,260 days in the wilderness. The countdown begins when the Jews in and near Jerusalem flee after seeing the abomination of desolation.

I think the Olivet Discourse Harvest is actually the harvest of Rev. 14:14-16. The one where Jesus Christ is sitting on a white cloud over Earth with a sharp sickle. Although the sickle is symbolic and the saints will actually be gathered by angels, whether or not that harvest is actually a rapture, I can’t be sure. There’s also something called a horizontal harvest – straight into the Millennial Kingdom.

But, since it seems to take place before the Wedding Supper of the Lamb in heaven of Rev. chap. 19: 6-9, I’ve decided to place my puzzle piece this way: I see the owner’s portion of the Fruit or ‘Good Grape’ Harvest of the Jews sitting at Jesus’ table in Heaven, because I think it’d please my Father in Heaven.

And, it seems that there’s another groups of Jews for the ‘horizontal harvest,’ the Jews who refused to flee to the mountains and remained in Jerusalem. They won’t calling upon Jesus’ name until the very last second before being totally annihilated by the A.O.D. and the gathering forces of . . . who knows what . . . deceived humans, androids, robots, fallen angels genetically engineered armies, hybrid beasts, Nephilim, former humans who have traded in their humanity to become tech, because they believed the false promises of eternal life without Jesus Christ or delusionally thought they could escape judgment. I could go on. . .
