Mark 13; Verse 18; Wait on Christ and the True Harvest

Mark 13; Verse 18; Wait on Christ and the True Harvest

I know you will enjoy this study. To even understand rapture/pre trib doctrine must be put to rest. Open the heart and mind to God's Word. For that reason this post covers that and what Mark 13:18 means. Please stick with it :)

Thank you for taking a look †

(Mark 13:18) "And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter."

(Meaning, lower yourself to the Lord, pray to Him. Not entitled, and not entitled to some rapture/pre trib rapture that does not exist. Pray that our escape to safety is not in the winter is what it means. Why? harvested out of season. Right into the arms of satan claiming to be Christ/God and you are done growing at all. We are to wait on Christ the true harvest in order. Nothing grows in the winter. That would be soil, now dirt is cold and not available to be cultivated. Their lamps have gone out, bitter cold ground love waxed cold).

We will continue on further. But first,


Simple Biblical Agriculture/Harvesting etiquette: From the physical we see the spiritual. Remember, the physical happens because the spiritual. The works that follow.

(Proverbs 10:5) "He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame."

(Proverbs 6:6-10) "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep."
Moving on.

(Mark 13:28-30) "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

(Where can I learn it? The only parable in all of God's Word concerning figs. Jeremiah 24. Period. What happened there? the evil figs returned to Jerusalem and Judah with the good figs. The good figs = those of the tribe of Judah. The evil figs? Those who claim to be Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of satan. They claim to be God's chosen and hate Christ. The repeat? 1948. Why do you think Christ approves of Smyrna and Philadelphia? The two churches overall who know this, understand this, teach this. Which is why the two witnesses are pouring out the Holy Spirit to them! Revelation 11. Let's get with it).

Moving on: The point here in knowing this is to know the season and when the true harvest comes. What is after summer? A: The true harvest at the end of summer when we go into fall/autumn. This is why Paul would write in I Thessalonians 5. The times and seasons He should not have to go over again, but he did anyway. We are to fully know and understand this.

The point is when you know the parable of the fig tree you when summer is nigh, therefore you know the correct season and won't be harvested in the winter. Okay, without understanding the parable of the fig tree you will never understand God's Word. Christ said learn it not for His health but our health.

Now let's take a further look at satan coming for the harvest out of season, that is not order. That is satan to a T. Turning things upside down. Which is written why he tries to change times and laws (Daniel 7:25-26).

satan comes in/at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet, and 6th vial. We get that location in Mark 13:14 because we know that is the exact moment in place in Mark 13 and Revelation. So that need to be fixed to even begin to understand.

(Revelation 6:12-13) "And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

(We just went over this in the blood moon study. Please check the archive).

13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

(Here you have it. satan coming with the fallen angels. The stars of heaven. Here is the fig tree we're looking into. Untimely = out of season/out of order. The point is this NOT the true harvest).

Now onto Isaiah.

(Isaiah 14:19) "But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.

Same timing. satan cast to earth for the woe trumpets, and this 6th vial here. Coming to play God.

(An amazing verse here in complete belittling/degradation to satan. The point to lower him in rank as he was filled with pride when he rebelled, and the angels followed him, to become known as fallen angels. The branch here is from a fig tree from the Hebrew. satan is reduced to a branch from the tree of knowledge of good and evil where this all began. Adam and Eve were in a fig grove then covered themselves with fig leaves)!

(Thrust through with the sword. Just as Christ was pierced and all will see Him coming. Revelation 1:7. This of course referring to Christ coming with the brightness of His coming and sword in His mouth, and the great supper of God. For those who are not coming to the marriage supper).

(Revelation 1:7) "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

*same cloud as I Thessalonians 4:17 (Daniel 7:13 as well, and many other places up and down), One coming and one gathering back to Christ. NO rapture/pre trib rapture.

Let's take a look from Matthew 24, putting this together.

(Matthew 24:27-28) "For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together."

(Revelation 19:17-18) "And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;

18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great."

To Mark 13:29,

29So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh (near), even at the doors.

(We're on the hinges of it in HIStory. All physical History in the flesh points to Christ two comings. We want that door opened to us. Those without are left outside knocking for the marriage supper of the lamb. Matthew 25:6).

30Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

(For a later study. But a Biblical generation is 70 years. Going by the basis of the first Babylonian captivity and the parable of the fig tree. The children of Judah specific (Benjamin the other southern tribe not part of the 10 northern tribes that make the whole house of Israel).

31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."

(People say my word is as good as gold. Well, take all them precious rocks in the world. Because this is and will come to full pass).

Eyes to see, and ears to hear the greatest blessing of all.

Amen †
