Hi;

say to you, Lift up your eyes and look upon the fields : for

Jesus was speaking to the Samaritan woman when he said, "Say not
ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold,
I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for
they are white already to harvest." (John 4:35, KJV)
Barley looks white at the time of harvest. The first sheaf of
barley was offered on Firstfruits, which pictured the
resurrection of Jesus.
Pentecost Sunday, the Feast of Weeks, pictured the tremendous
harvest of souls.
Act 2:38-41 says, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord
our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he
testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward
generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word
were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about
three thousand souls."
WE ARE WHEAT, AND WHEAT HARVEST BEGINS AT PENTECOST, THE FEAST
OF WEEKS
Luk_22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan
hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat".
Exo_34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks (i.e.,
Pentecost), of the firstfruits of wheat harvest".
Rth_2:23 So she (i.e., Ruth) kept fast by the maidens of
Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat
harvest".
Mat_13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in
the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye
together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them:
but gather the WHEAT into my barn."
BARLEY IS "WHITE UNTO HARVEST" AT FIRSTFRUITS
"The words from John 4:30, "white unto harvest" are hard to
imagine if a person has no idea of what a field of barley looks
like just before it is harvested. This verse was given just
after Passover and the feast of First Fruits during the barley
harvest. The fields were white. THE HARVEST OF SOULS DID NOT
START UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT FEAST, THE FEAST OF
PENTECOST (SHAVUOT)."

The first sheaf of barley is offered on Firstfruits. It pictures
the resurrection of Jesus.
"And just as the wave sheaf was lifted up into the air and
waved, symbolizing Christ’s trip to heaven and return, so the
wave loaves were lifted up and waved, symbolizing that we too
shall for a moment leave this solid Earth when we ascend to meet
Him in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) before we return with
Him to stand on the Mount of Olives as He begins His millennial
rule (Acts 1:11; Zechariah 14:3-4)."... (

THE FIRST TRUMP RAPTURE, IS AT THE TIME OF “TENDER GRAPES” AND
“GREEN FIGS”
To me, Pentecost represents the First-Trump Rapture of ITh
4:16,17 at the time of first-ripe grapes and green figs.
Son 2:10-15 says, “My beloved spake, and said unto me, RISE UP,
MY LOVE, MY FAIR ONE, AND COME AWAY (halak, depart, i.e., in the
First-Trump Rapture). 11 For, lo, the winter is past, the
rain is over and gone (i.e., NISAN IS OVER); 12 The
flowers appear on the earth (i.e., April showers bring May
flowers); the time of the singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle (tor, ring dove, turtledove) is heard in our
land (i.e., they come to Israel in April and leave in October);
13 THE FIG TREE PUTTETH FORTH HER GREEN FIGS, and the
vines with the tender grape give a good smell. ARISE, MY LOVE,
MY FAIR ONE, AND COME AWAY. 14 O my dove, that art in the
clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me
see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy
voice, and thy countenance is comely. 15 Take us the
foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for OUR VINES
HAVE TENDER GRAPES.”
THE TIME OF "TENDER GRAPES" IS JUNE

https://www.gci.org/law/festivals/harvest)
ON THE MONDAY FOLLOWING PALM SUNDAY, "THE TIME OF FIGS WAS NOT
YET”
Mar_11:13 says, “And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves,
he (i.e., Jesus) came, if haply he might find any thing thereon:
and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for THE
TIME OF FIGS WAS NOT YET.”
FULLY-FORMED FIGS COME ON ABOUT SIX WEEKS LATER
"‘The time of the fig is not yet,’ says Mark, for it was just
before PASSOVER, ABOUT SIX WEEKS BEFORE THE FULLY-FORMED FIG
APPEARS. The fact that Mark adds these words shows that he knew
what he was talking about. When the fig leaves appear about the
end of March, they are accompanied by a crop of small knobs,
called taqsh by the Arabs, a sort of fore-runner of the real
figs. These taqsh are eaten by peasants and others when hungry.
They drop off before the real fig is formed. But if the leaves
appear unaccompanied by taqsh, there will be no figs that year.
So it was evident to our Lord, when He turned aside to see if
there were any of these taqsh on the fig-tree to assuage His
hunger for the time being, that the absence of the taqsh meant
that there would be no figs when the time of figs came. For all
its fair foliage, it was a fruitless and a hopeless tree."

AT THE TIME OF THE RAPTURE, "THE SOUR GRAPE IS RIPENING IN THE
FLOWER"
Isa 18:3-7 agrees with Song 2:10-15. It says, “All ye
inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye,
when he lifteth up an ensign (i.e., the UN flag) on the
mountains (i.e., kingdoms); and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear
ye. 4 For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my
rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat
upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and THE
SOUR GRAPE IS RIPENING IN THE FLOWER (i.e., in the spring), he
shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away
(sur, remove, depart, take away) and cut down the branches.
6 They shall be left together unto the fowls of the
mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall
SUMMER upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall WINTER
upon them. 7 In that time (i.e., SPRING) shall the
present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered
and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land
the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of
hosts, the mount Zion.”

Pentecost means fifty. The fiftieth day is Pentecost. The
fiftieth year is the Jubilee.

Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem on Palm SUNDAY.
“The triumphal entry is that of Jesus coming into Jerusalem on
what we know as Palm Sunday, the Sunday before the crucifixion
(John 12:1, 12). The story of the triumphal entry is one of the
few incidents in the life of Jesus which appears in all four
Gospel accounts (Matthew 21:1-17; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-40;
John 12:12-19).” (

Revelation 2:10
"...you will have TRIBULATION TEN DAYS. Be faithful unto death,

Rev 2:10 refers to the church, not Israel.
I think the Day of the Lord will come at the end of the Great
Tribulation, the last half of the seven-year Tribulation.
Joe_1:15 says, "Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at
hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come."
Joe_2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the

2Pe_3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in
the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."
Mal_4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before
the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD".
Elijah comes Mid-Trib.
Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod:
and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of
God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Rev 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave
out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and
the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Rev 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and
they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two
candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."
Moses and Elijah stood before Christ at the Transfiguration.
Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and
John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain

Jesus will come as the former and latter rain. His first coming
was Tishri 1. His second coming will be Nisan 1.
The First-Trump Rapture is in ITH 4:16,17. The Last-Trump
Rapture is in ICor 15:51-54.
The great and terrible Day of the Lord follows the shortened
Great Tribulation. The Day of the Lord will be the day of the
Last-Trump Rapture of ICor 15:51-54 and Rev. 7:1-14.
Rev. 6:17 says, "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?"
Rev 7-14 says, "And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he
said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of
the Lamb."

Subject: Fwd: THE "FIELDS ARE WHITE FOR HARVEST" IN APRIL
THE "FIELDS ARE WHITE FOR HARVEST" IN THE MONTH OF APRIL WHICH
IS NISAN
The first crop harvested in the FIRST MONTH of Spring, which is
April (Nisan), in Israel is the barley crop. When it is ready to
be harvested it appears "white" to the eye when looking upon the
fields :
John 4:35-36
"Behold, i say to you, Lift up your eyes and look upon the
fields : for THEY ARE WHITE already UNTO HARVEST
(rapture). And He that reaps receives reward, and GATHERS
(raptures) FRUIT UNTO ETERNAL LIFE..."
Hosea 4:6
" My people perish for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE."
Hosea 6;3
"Let us pursue the KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD. His going forth is
established as the morning; He will come to us LIKE THE RAIN ,
like the LATTER and the FORMER rain to earth."
Joel 2:23
"And rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the
FORMER RAIN faithfully, and He will cause the rain TO COME DOWN
FOR YOU -- the former rain , and the LATTER RAIN IN THE FIRST
MONTH."
The "FIRST MONTH" of God's Sacred Lunar Year is Nisan which
always begins on the first New Moon over Jerusalem following the
Vernal (Spring) Equinox in March. In the year 2016 the first new
Moon over Jerusalem after the Vernal Equinox is on April 7, 2016
which makes it Nisan 1, 2016. I believe that day begins the "DAY
OF THE LORD" great tribulation of God's judgment upon Israel for
"TEN DAYS" before the rapture according to :
Revelation 2:10
"...you will have TRIBULATION TEN DAYS. Be faithful unto death,
and I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE."
The day of Nisan 10, 2016 falls on Saturday April 16, 2016 and
is Palm Sabbath , the Day of Palms. I believe it to be THE DAY
OF THE RAPTURE which occurs AFTER God's "ten day" great
tribulation judgment upon Israel, but BEFORE God's tribulation
judgment of 1,260 days which then comes upon the whole world
AFTER the rapture according to :
Revelation 3:10
"I will also keep you from the hour of temptation (1,260 days)
which shall come upon the WHOLE WORLD, to test those
(left-behind) who dwell on the earth."
If, in fact, the year 2016 is actually the "acceptable
year of the Lord" we can reasonably expect the aforementioned
scenario to be fulfilled.
Come Lord Jesus !
