LAKE OF FIRE and Yeshua said, “…THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE AGE” What age was Yeshua in and when did the Harvest end? By Tuese Ahkiong
What “AGE” (aeon) was Yeshua born into? He was born under the law in the Old Covenant Age.
Galatians4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
What AGE was coming to an end? The Old Covenant Age, Judaism, The Law. When Scripture speaks of last days, end of the age, it is speaking of the last days of Judaism or the end of the old covenant age. Between 30-70AD, The Harvest was taking place. The disciples were trumpeting the Gospel and Harvesting the Old Covenant world through the double edge sword of God’s Word and Gospel. The New Covenant Age has no end.
MATTHEW 13
24 He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field, 25 but while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared also.27 And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have weeds?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ So the servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and AT HARVEST TIME I WILL TELL THE REAPERS, “Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” 37 He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE AGE, AND THE REAPERS ARE ANGELS. 40 Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, 42 and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

**Is not Paul stating he is harvesting? Yep. How so? Through preaching The Gospel that is the power and that which he is not ashamed of.
Christ said that the reapers would come at the end of the age. What age was He born into? The Old Covenant Age. Romans is written around 57-58AD. The end of Old Covenant Age came in 70AD. THE GENTILES are the scattered Israelites aka the lost sheep of the house of Israel the Christ said that He ONLY came for! Matt 15:24
5. 2 Corinthians 9:10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the HARVEST of your righteousness.

7. James 5:4-9 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. YOU HAVE LAID UP TREASURE IN THE LAST DAYS. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and THE CRIES OF THE HARVESTERS HAVE REACHED THE EARS OF THE LORD OF HOSTS. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.7 BE PATIENT, THEREFORE, BROTHERS, UNTIL THE COMING OF THE LORD. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 YOU also, be patient. Establish your hearts, FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD IS AT HAND. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; BEHOLD, THE JUDGE IS STANDING AT THE DOOR.
***Were the rich of James’ time storing up treasure for today in 2014? Absolutely not. The last days were the last days of Judaism (30-70AD).
The saints were being persecuted and killed by apostate Jews.
The Lord of The Harvest returns in 70AD to reap and execute justice.
8. Revelation 14:15, 19 And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the HARVEST of the earth is fully ripe.” 19So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape HARVEST of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
**The events within the book of Revelation are said to soon take place and that the time was near (1:1,3; 22:6, 7, 12, 20).
@@@satan knew he had a short time
Revelation 12:12 "For THIS reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a SHORT TIME."
1 John 3:8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for THIS purpose, to DESTROY the works of the devil.
*Did Jesus fail to destroy the works of the devil which was His very purpose for appearing according to this verse?
Hebrews 2:14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might DESTROY the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
*Did Jesus fail to destroy the one who has the power of death, the devil? Most people believe Satan is still running loose. LOL. If the devil is still running around, then JESUS FAILED to destroy the devil, right?
REV 20: 10 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
***In Christ’s parable of the wheat and tarts, the tares are thrown into the fire and burned and wheat taken into the barn. Unbelieving Christ-murdering Israel the whore personified satan/ devil in this parable and was judged and thrown in the lake of fire which could be the spiritual meaning of the enemy of God judged and executed!
Remember Revelation is the most symbolic book of the Bible which shouldn’t always be taken literally but according to its genre. Satan was thrown into the lake of fire which symbolized ultimate judgment defeat destruction termination on the enemy!
. *Since the words of Revelation were penned around 65 AD, how long is SHORT to whom it was written Rev 1:4? The book of Revelation was not written to people in the 21st century. It was written to the 7churches in Asia 1:4. The things in the book are said to be near, will soon take place, are at hand, will happen in a short time…, so, part of the book 20:10 mentions the devil being thrown into the lake of fire; did it happen? Hell yah it did!
Matthew 13:37-43 And He said, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,38and the field is the WORLD; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the END OF THE AGE; and the reapers are angels. 40"So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the END OF THE AGE. 41"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43"Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father He who has ears, let him hear.
*Does not the Lord say that the tares will be gathered up and all stumbling blocks (this includes satan and demons) and thrown into the furnace AT THE END OF THE AGE? What age was Jesus in when He said this? The Old Testament Age. When was the end of the OT age? 70AD
