Ep 45 - The Harvest of the Earth

Voyage | Book of Revelation & Genesis | Shalom World

St. John deals with the harvest of the earth towards the end of Chapter 14 of the Book of Revelation. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan explains how St. John treats it as the “grain” harvest and “vine” harvest. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Sower and the Reaper, and He decides whether the earth is ready for harvest or not. The hour of facing God’s wrath all alone for the redemption of the human race was also Jesus’ hour of glory. No one knew when the hour of God will come, not even the Son on Earth. It is a moment when God knows that the human race is fixed in its decision either for or against Him.  The choice for everybody is the Blood of the Lamb or the Blood of Justice Bible References: * Rev. 14:14 - The angel puts in the sickle * Rev. 5:7-8 -  Jesus takes the scroll as the Lamb * Rev. 6 - Jesus unrolls the scroll * Is. 63:1-6 - Trampling of the vine * Joel 4:13 - The winepress is full * Rev. 10:7 - Waiting time is over * Matt. 13:38 - Let them grow till harvest time * Mark 4:29 - When the crop is ready, we lose no time * Amos 8:2 - Ripe for destruction * Is. 5 - Vine is God’s people * John 15 - Jesus is the Vine * Rev. 14:17-20 - Branches to be cut off if they don’t bear fruit * Rev. 6:9-10 - Prayer of the martyrs vs. the outcome * Lam. 1:12-13 - Jesus faced God’s wrath * Is. 35:8-10 - The sacred way Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan takes you to the world of the Apocalypse of John shown to us in the Book of Revelation written from the Greek island of Patmos.
