The Harvests (Each in his own Order)

Come, and let us return to the Lord; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
Hosea 6

But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is (*about) a thousand years, and a thousand years (*about) one day.
2 Peter 3:8 (see Jn 1:39, 6:19, 11:18, Rev 8:1, Mk 5:13 to see how "as" should have been translated "about" because it is used with a number - and consider Joshua - a type of Yahshua - whom Yahweh commanded to tell the Israelites to stay ABOUT 2000 cubits behind the priesthood who carried the ark of the covenant into the Jordan river - a type of the 2 days, or 2000 year prophecy pointing towards the second advent)

We know that Christ Yahshua died around 30AD give to take a few years. He said He would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three "days." Obviously this is a reference to His body or "Body" ie; the true followers of His Way, for He is the Head and we are the Body. The temple, as seen in Revelation and spoken of by John, Peter and Paul, is a spiritual temple that begins to be revived upon His millennial reign, at His return literally ANY DAY NOW (granted a few things appear to yet be fulfilled in prophecy but we can see an exponential approach to His eminent return). His reign with a "rod of iron" ie; His people, will continue until judgment day, the third day, where an age-long fate will be determined for every soul who has ever existed. Ask yourself, are you a part of the firstfruits barley resurrection to rule and reign with Him in the Millennium? Or are you wheat that needs to pass through the second death? Or are you grapes that will be tread in the winepress of His wrath? Each path is increasingly more dreadful. My hope is in being a part of the firstfruits resurrection at His return.


But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since death came by man, the resurrection of the dead also came by man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits (the "anointed" first fruits ie; the barley harvest in early summer), then those who are Christ’s, at his coming (the wheat harvest mid-summer). Then the end comes, when he will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have abolished all rule and all authority and power (the grape harvest which is tread in the wine-press of the wrath of God). For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For, “He put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when he says, “All things are put in subjection”, it is evident that he is excepted who subjected all things to him. When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 (parenthesis added for clarification)
