the Harvest of Saints: Gathering Firstfruits, Main Harvest, and Gleaning

—           the clearly defined Old Testament blueprint of a traditional harvest and its application to an end-time harvest of the saints, —           why Jesus will come both as a thief in the night and visibly in the clouds as our conquering King, —           the importance of overcoming and the prospect of escaping “the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth” (Rev. 3:10), —           why outer darkness and the lake of fire represent two separate areas of confinement established to serve two entirely different purposes, and —           the ordered sequence of end-time events, their purposes, and their interrelationships. Please join me as we bring the “harvest concept” out of the shadows and into the light where we can “test all things; [and] hold fast what is good” (1 Thess. 5:21). Jim Wainscott
