The last harvest in the Bible refers to the final gathering of souls as depicted in the parables like wheat and weeds in Matthew 13:36-43, and in the Book of Revelation. This event symbolizes God’s judgment where the righteous are separated from the wicked, emphasizing the importance of living a faithful life in preparation for this moment.
I usually avoid posting anything that the news is covering. But this one is hard to ignore what has been going on since Charlie Kirk’s murder on Sept 10. Many people are celebrating his death. Many are mourning. I think God is drawing a clear separation between the good and the evil.
In church this morning we were talking about persecution for righteousness’ sake. I felt the Holy Spirit say to me, This is the beginning of the great harvest! We need to understand the concept of the last harvest, in that it is the final gathering of souls at the end times. I believe that good and evil can only coexist for so long.
There are a few scriptures that reference the last harvest, they are:
- Matthew 13:36-43: Jesus explains the parable of the tares, indicating that the harvest is the end of the age.
- Revelation 14:15-16: An angel calls for the harvest, signifying the time to reap as the earth’s harvest id ripe.
- Matthew 24:30-32: Jesus describes His return, where angels will gather the elect from all corners of the earth.
There is a process of harvesting:
1. Separation of good and evil: At the last harvest, the righteous (the wheat) will be gathered to God, while the wicked (weeds) will be separated and face judgment.
When Charlie Kirk was taken from us. I think I caused a movement of people gathering together for the Kingdom of God. If you are a true believer in God, you have an assignment. We have to be ready to disciple these people to be ready to enter the body of believers, to get them ready for the Kingdom of heaven. We need to pray, intercede for others, and meditate on the Word of God.
2. Role of Angels: Angels are depicted as the reapers who will carry out this separation during the final judgment.
3. Opportunity for Salvation: The last harvest symbolizes God’s mercy, offering a chance for salvation to those who did not have it in their lives.
The significance of the last harvest serves as a reminder of the urgency for us to share our faith, and prepare for Jesus’s return. It emphasizes living a life aligned with God’s teachings as the final judgment will reflect our faith and actions throughout our lives.
I believe that Charlie Kirk’s murder woke a lot of people up, from just going with the flow, and accepting sin. His death began a great harvest.
Charlie wanted to be remembered for courage for his faith. That was his most important thing. The most important thing was his faith.
We should all want the same thing. “To be remembered for our courage of our faith.
“Jesus defeated death so that we can live.”
