Revelation 14:14-16

As winter will soon be upon us, farmers are busing gathering up the last of the fall harvest. The tractors dig deep into the soil, gleaning the fields, not wanting anything of value to be left behind. So it is with God. Very soon Jesus will return to glean God’s harvest. Wielding a sharp sickle, the Son of Man will reap every last one of God’s children. Like the harvest of wheat and the gathering of grapes, this final gathering will be to separate the righteous from the unrighteous. And the goats from the sheep. The return of Jesus signifies the ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan. A plan where He will gather His faithful followers and execute His divine justice. It serves as a powerful reminder of the promise of Christ’s return and the forthcoming culmination of history. The signs of the times tell us that soon the day of reckoning and reward for the faithful will come. Are you ready for the great harvest? Will you be gleaned by Jesus? Don’t wait to accept His gift of grace and salvation.

Revelation 14:15

When the harvest of the earth is ripe, none will escape the mighty sickle of God. For as lovingly as He gleans the righteous, He will just as fiercely strike down the wicked. His judgement will be swift, final, and when carried out, leave none standing. We serve the God of second chances. Yet His patience has an end. For over four millennium, God has stayed His judgement. For He wishes none to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) But one day soon, the trumpets will blare and time will have run out. Even as we speak there is an angel in God’s heavenly temple. He is eagerly waiting for the time when he will cry out with a loud voice to “one like a son of man.” And at his urging, with one fell swoop, the Lord will reap the earth. So now while there is still time, receive Jesus as your Savior. Become part of God’s precious wheat laid up in His glorious storehouse, rather than a discarded tare thrown in the fire to burn away.
