The countdown of the Final Harvest (1997 - 2012) is typified by a 3 month Period (Tammuz 15 to Tishri 15) a period of 88 days.

Amos 4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.

A pathway emerges pointing to the return of Christ in the year 2012, when we examine Amos 4:7 in view that this verse implies the return of the latter rain. We have learned earlier that God's withholding of the latter rain for the final harvest in the physical organized churches earmarks the start of the "Great" Final Tribulation Period in Adar 1994. Also, in Amos 4:7 we see God caused it to rain in a city (outside the physical organized church). The habitat of the believers then becomes the physical world, because the physical organized church has become spiritual (Egypt and Sodom), see Study on Good Figs. Spiritual Egypt as represented by the physical organized churches does not participate in the Feast of Ingathering. Thus, the physical organized church is the city that does not receive its latter rain.

Tammuz (figs have a crop) is the month that is 3 months from the harvest month Tishri (figs have a crop). Tishri 15 is the Feast of Ingathering (Tabernacle) which is the Final Feast associated with a Biblical Seasons of Harvest. After 2 years of no latter rain Adar 1994 to Adar 1996, the latter rains return in Adar 1997 outside of the physical organized churches, Hosea 6:2-3. The latter rain harvest comes 6 month latter, with the culmination of this harvest celebrated during the Feast of Ingathering, Luke 4:25 .

Hosea 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land

88 Days Explanation

The Feast of Ingathering is on Tishri 15 and occurs after the completion of the gathering corn and the wine. In Amos 4:7, we see the last final productive harvest (latter rain and harvest) is three months (88 days) a period typified from the Tammuz 15 (Return of Rain and Harvest in 1997) to the Feast Ingathering (Tishri 2012).

Deuteronomy 16:13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

The year 2012 or the 13,024th year of the Earth's existence (296*11*4) is uniquely associated with the last 4 months of the final harvest season:

*Note

Jesus in John 4:35 refers to a period of four months that must pass then comes a Final Harvest. These 4 months Jesus was referring to begin with the start of Summer (Sivan 16) and end with the Feast of Ingathering (Tishri 15).

John 4:35 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.

Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

The last productive harvest period (rain and the harvest) is from Tammuz 15 to Tiishri 15 (3 months). This last productive harvest period is identified with 148 days and 88 days. The last productive harvest period of 88 days divided into 13,024 (last productive year total of Earth's existence) equals 148 (13,024 /88 =148).
