I shared this in Brian Hoeck’s group and I’ll post it here too
I’ve had so many inquiries this year about the harvest of the 7th month. It seems that more and more people are waking up to the details of the biblical calendar. Which is great, because when the barley inspectors have determined the calendar correctly people should be able to expect things to line up with the feasts. Certain things should happen in a specific timing. Because I’ve had so many inquiries and even some of my response posted here to this group I want to respond to the question in general. The first response Iâm going to give is about the grapes.
There are fewer and fewer old vines left growing in Israel. Mainly you find the older vines in residences and not in commercial production efforts. It is also important to understand that the newer ‘designer vines’ are hybridized and manipulated to ripen out of timing with the calendar of ×××× which includes in some cases being grown under canopies that hold the heat and humidity in.
Deut 11:10 For the land which you go to possess is **not **like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and **watered it by foot,**as a vegetable garden; 11 but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which **drinks water from the rain of heaven**12 a **land for which the Lord your God cares**; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.
There’s still enough rain in Israel for the process of the above verse to continue year after year as per Elohim’s promise to Noah in this next verse.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, **seedtime and harvest**, and cold and heat, and summer (cutting) and winter (stripping), and day and night **shall not cease**.
The old grape vines were ready in August. I praise Elohim that He placed us in a location that has one of the old grape vines from who-knows-when and that this grapevine came back to life with all the rain this past aviv season. It was miraculous to see. Now there are two in close easy access for me to keep an eye on.
The KJV uses the word corn and it simply means grains. The biblical grains were all harvested by Shavuot and a few weeks following. Wave Sheaf is barley, Shavuot is wheat, this is the biblical corn or grains.
Exodus 23:Three times (3xs) thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. 15 (1x)Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread (barley): (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:) 16 And the (2x) feast of harvest (wheat), the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the (3x) feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast (finished) gathered (gathering) in thy labours out of the **field** (wheat). 17 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.
There were only two things that came from the field out of the seven species that are the produce of the feasts. Those two things were barley and wheat, there are no fall grains.
Trees are planted in orchard or groves and grapes in vineyards. The ingathering harvest would include figs, pomegranates, olives and palm dates and in that order. Grapes are ready in the late summer, they were very prophetic about a certain event that happened as a judgment.
The figs were harvested in what I observed as the 7th month (which is now). Olives are never harvested until the rains come back with earnest. Pomegranates are flooding the market, mine have fallen from the tree. And the palm dates, the old ones, aren’t ready until later closer to the 12th month.
It’s a misconception of the scripture that the ingathering concludes all harvesting. It’s actually the beginning of the latter harvest.Updated Sep 28, 2019, 3:44 AM
