Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
This leads us to the second segment of the study: [2] The maturing of earth’s harvests. It is of critical importance that any light which God is shedding on our pathway, be incorporated into our daily experiences, for it is only as truth and duty are synthesized that spiritual maturity can take place. To hold the truth only in a philosophical format doesn’t do any good, but instead can make things worse for those who are hearers but not doers.
Wickedness is also brought to maturity, and it could become so deep-seated that it would define who a person is. Latent tendencies strengthen with every indulgence, and the clamors of our fallen human do nature become more aggressive and assertive every time they satisfied, contrary to the scriptures.
Thus, both the good and bad of earth’s harvests are gradually chiseling out their own destiny, as choices and decisions to do either good or evil are ramped up. This is why in Revelation chapter 14 we read of two harvests and the word “Harvest” obviously only applies when the produce in question has been fully developed, or in other words, have come to full maturity.
Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
