The Passover (barley) harvest / the RAPTURE harvest (Perry Stone)!!!

ALL:

We are entering the "time" of the barley harvest, the time of Passover.
God said that He would give us "signs in the sun, moon and stars".

...Luke 21
...25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth,
...nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing
...of the sea.

So, to me, it would be MOST FITTING if a "sign" were received that had to
do with what is "ABOUT TO OCCUR"!  I have already shared this but, on
"4/1" (Revelation 4:1 below), we have about as PERFECT an occultation
(or "covering") as possible (possibly only once every 18 years is one this
good) of the star cluster, Pleiades, which means "the congregation of the
Judge or Ruler".

...Revelation 4:1
...After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in
...heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet
...said,
......"COME UP HERE, AND I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT MUST TAKE
......PLACE AFTER THIS."

It is ALSO interesting to me that Pleiades is known as the Seven Sisters
and are a "TYPE" of the seven churches which the Lord addresses at the
very beginning of the Book of Revelation!

To me, this is one of the MOST IMPORTANT TIMES in the history of the
Church!  Will the "Seven Sisters" / the "Church" NOT WAKE UP to see
that we may have arrived upon the "MYSTERY" of the Pleiades!?

...Proverbs 25
...2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to
...search out a matter.

...Job 38
...31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
...bands of Orion?

Most people in churches today are NOT watching for the rapture.  It is ONLY
when one decides to become watchful, to LISTEN to the soft Wind of the Holy
Spirit blowing the TRUTH (by the Spirit of Truth) that God can open our eyes
to what is "REALLY" going on in the world!  Then (and only then), it becomes
almost OVERWHELMING how close we "REALLY ARE" to the Lord's return!!!!
But even if we WEREN'T so close, the "WATCHING" would be good for us...
to "KEEP US" out of trouble!

...Psalm 34
...4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from
...all my fears.
...5 THEY LOOKED UNTO HIM, AND WERE LIGHTENED:  AND
...THEIR FACES WERE NOT ASHAMED.
...6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him
...out of all his troubles.

...1 John 3
...2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has
...not yet been made known. But we know that WHEN HE APPEARS,
...we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 EVERYONE
...WHO HAS THIS HOPE IN HIM PURIFIES HIMSELF, just as he is pure.

Earlier this month (mentioned below), I ordered the 2 sermon set of
"The Sign of His Coming" by Perry Stone.

http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/mar2006/calvinm310.htm

Approximately 40 minutes into the second sermon preached by Perry Stone
on February 12, 2006 at Rod Parsley's church, he told how the 3 major Jewish
Feasts had to do with the Lord's harvest of the earth.

...Barley harvest - Passover
...Wheat harvest - Pentecost
...Fruit / grape harvest - Tabernacles

In describing this, he said:

..."Here's what you MUST understand, they are all harvested differently!
...Barley has a SOFT shell.  You cannot step on barley or you'll 'CRUSH'
...it.  They take a 'fan' (it looks like a pitch fork) and they gather the barley
...together and they throw it up in the air the 'WIND' separates the outer
...shell from the meat which is the barley itself and they they collect the
...barley and bring it in.  In the Book of Ruth, it was barley harvest."

This is the way he described these "SEPARATIONS" which are done
during these 3 "harvests" / Feasts:

..."When you go to separate this (barley), you do it by 'WIND'.  When you
...go to separate this (wheat), there was a board and it's a board that you
...stand on and you take an animal and you stand on that board and you
...hook it to the animal and you go over top of the wheat (because wheat
...is very hard).  And that board separates that grain and gets the wheat
...out is called, in Latin, a 'tribulum' from which we get the word, 'tribulation'.
...There is NO 'tribulum' used at Passover with the barley.  A 'tribulum' is
...used at this feast (Pentecost) to separate the chaff from the wheat.
...And then, the grapes are UTTERLY, TOTALLY CRUSHED!!!"

..."The barley harvest is a picture of the saints whose hearts are 'TENDER'
...who do NOT have to be separated as wheat and chaff.  Then, later on in
...the Tribulation, there is a separation of wheat and tare.  There's the 144,000
...Jews that will be caught up to the throne of God.  And during the Tribulum or
...the Trubulation there will be a CRUSHING on the earth that will separate the
...wheat from the chaff.  Then the grape harvest comes at the END."

Perry Stone went on to say:

..."Revelation 4:1 is the RAPTURE of the church.  It's the BARLEY
...HARVEST because the BARLEY doesn't have to go through
...'TRIBULUM'...the barley doesn't have to go through TRIBULATION!
...The WIND is the HOLY GHOST and all we have to do is let the
...HOLY GHOST blow over us and blow the junk out of us and blow
...the carnality out of us!

...The OVERCOMERS are represented by barley!  But you get in
...the middle of the Tribulation and guess what you've got?  You've
...got CHAFF on the wheat and so you've got to take this and you've
...got a tribulum and you've got to CRUSH it!  You've got to CRUSH
...it to find out WHO is standing for God and who IS NOT!

...In Revelation 4:1, the 'CHURCH' is caught up to God but in the
...middle of the Tribulation, the 144,000 are CAUGHT UP to God.
...And at the END of the Tribulation (Revelation 14) it talks about
...the GRAPES OF WRATH!!!  Take your sickle and go to the
...vineyard that's NOW RIPE and cut the grapes and throw the
...grapes into the winepress of MY WRATH!!!  That is the LAST
...PART of the Tribulation period where the CRUSHING takes
...place and the winepress comes out to the city of Jerusalem
...and blood is to the horses bridle.

...You see, when you understand the law of harvest, it clears up
...this WHOLE thing.  Is the Church going UP before the Tribulation...
...in the middle...at the end?  God has NOT appointed us to wrath
...but to obtain salvation through His Son.  That's what He said.
...He said, 'Pray that you be accounted worthy to escape these
...things and stand before the Son of Man.'  He said, 'Because
...you've kept the Word of My patience, I'll keep you from the hour
...of testing which is coming for ALL THE EARTH.'  He's NOT
...appointed us to the grape wrath!!!"

To me, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to draw a clearer picture of where we
are today!!!  Perry Stone didn't mention about the Pleiades being SWEPT
THROUGH by the moon on a "4/1"!!!  But, ironically, he DID mention
Revelation "4:1" SEVERAL times as the "BARLEY HARVEST"!!!

GOD BLESS!!!
