The Harvest by Rick Joyner

Chapter 1 - The Harvest

"Jesus said, "The harvest is at the end of the age" (see Matthews 13:39). Between now and the end of the age, more people will come to know Jesus than have previously known Him from Pentcost until this time. Before the end, every village in every nation will have had the gospel preached to them. Every person living will hear His name. The knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Many whole cities, and some entire nations, will be converted to Him. The magnitude of what is coming cannot be measured by anything that has happened before. Even the cosmos itself will be electrified by its energy. More than a tithe of all the people who have ever lived, more than one billion souls, will call upon His name in true commitment resulting in true conversion before the end of the age.

This harvest will exceed every previous outpouring of the Spirit in one profound way - Jesus will be preached as Lord and not just Savoir. During this harvest, the gospel will change from "Come and be saved," to "Bow the knee, He is King!" This is the seventh and last trumpet or message to be preached. This message will not come in word only, but in power and unprecedented demonstrations of the Spirit.

There is another aspect to the harvest that is the end of the age - the reaping of evil. A harvest is the reaping of everything that has been sown, both good and evil. The evil that was sown in man will also come to fruition during this time. While the "wheat" is being gathered, the "tares" will also be gathered into bundles or unified.  However, the gathering of the tares is actually meant to aid the gathering of the wheat.

The separation and distinction between the two seeds will become increasingly visible in the days to come. The "man of sin" or the personification of the "man of sin" will also be fully revealed and understood during the harvest. This is not to be feared; He who is in us is much greater than he who is in the world, and the least of those in the Kingdom of God has more power than all the antichrists. Nevertheless, this evil must be understood or many will be unnecessarily captured by it."

by Rick Joyner "The Harvest"

Revelation 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple sanctuary, calling with a mighty voice to Him Who was sitting upon the cloud, Put in Your scythe and reap, for the hour has arrived to gather the harvest, for the earth's crop is fully ripened


Matthew 13:30
Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary.


Matthew 13:39 And the enemy who sowed it is the devil. The harvest is the close and consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels.


Joel 3:13
Put in the sickle, for the [vintage] harvest is ripe; come, get down and tread the grapes, for the winepress is full; the vats overflow, for the wickedness [of the peoples] is great.
