Understanding the spiritual complexity of the seasons can be somewhat overcome if the seasons are viewed from the standpoint that the seasons have different effects pending whether:
The Final Harvest will be not be successful from summer (1987/88) to the Feast of Ingathering (2012) as in the case of the physical organized churches
OR
The Final Harvest that will be successful from summer (1996) to the Feast of Ingathering (2012) which is outside of the physical organized churches

Explanation

1987/88 in the 40th year from when National Israel became a nation (leaf bearing fig tree) is identified with the beginning of an unproductive summer.
Also, when we extrapolate from 3,153 BC the actual birth year of Peleg to 1988 Adar 1 5748 (February 19, 1988 the most probable date for the spiritual flood beginning in the physical organized churches/ beginning judgment of no latter rain), there are a total 5,140 years. 5,140 is a multiple of 4 (four sore judgment/universal) X 5 (judgment) X 257 (the 257th day from the date of the beginning of Early Rain on Tishri 16, 5748 [1987-88] is the Summer Solstice). The Summer Solstice occurs on June 21, 1988 which is the astronomical beginning of Summer. The beginning of Summer for the Church Age is the absence of latter rain. See Psalms 32:4 below and related Peleg's Birth link.
1987/88 is the 13,000 year of the earth's existence and a multiple of 260 X 50. 50 is identified with the harvest cycle and the 260 is identified with [13 Fullness X 2 Church X 10 Completeness] Fullness of the Pentecost Harvest Cycle of 49 days [not dependent on latter rain - see note 5 also], which is the last fruit of the physical organized churches would be fully ripe in 7 years which is spiritually equivalent to 7 weeks/49 days [Pentecost Harvest Cycle] in 1994, see note 6 and [49 X50] in relationship to the Physical Temple and in relation to Christ (the Spiritual Temple) [49 X 40]
1987/88 the 13,000th year has factors of 10 (Completeness) X 5 (Judgment) X (260th day). The 260th day (start of Night-click on 260th Day of the 13,000th Year) is the day that is identified with judgment on those who sought to "kill" the true believers during the Final Tribulation typified as "Mordecai", but God brings Judgment upon those who sought to kill the true believers by decreeing their death, Esther 8:11.
Esther 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
Esther 8:9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Esther 8:10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
Esther 8:11Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them,both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
Summer is identified with a drought 1987/88 to 1994 [Absence of Latter Rain in Physical Organized Churches]:
Psalms 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
Summer is identified with a Unproductive harvest: [Absence of Summer Harvest Physical Organized Churches 1994 - 1996]
Proverbs 10:5 He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
7 days before the flood Noah enters the ark (with Christ) 7 days latter it rained for 40 days and all that had the breath of life on land was destroyed this parallels the true believer protected during the last 47 years from the flood via captivity in physical Babylonia 587/586 to 539 BC in completion of the 70 week. The flood also typifies the total destruction of the domicile of the true believers for the physical organized churches which were spiritually destroyed 46 (1948 -1994, 47 years inclusive) years from when National Israel was a nation.
Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The ship during the Euroclydon (a picture of the physical organized churches) which was completely destroyed on the 14th day. 14 is a multiple of 2 (Revelation 11:3 identifies the number 2 with the 2 witnesses whose ministry ends [bringing in the Latter rain Harvest] in the physical organized churches) and 7 (2 witnesses ministry ends Revelation 11:7 in the physical organized churches after a period of no latter rain [typified as 7 weeks]. In Zechariah 1:7- 8, the vision the Lord gives to Zechariah, we see a correlation of Sebat (Shevat) 25 with the New Year's Day for trees. The man riding the Red Horse (Satan) stood among in the myrtle trees on Sebat 24. There are from Sebat 24 to Nisan 15 (typified as a latter rain period). If the latter rain had occurred during 1987/88 (5748) to 1993-94 (5754) the final harvest would have started in Tishri 1994, but there is a delay typified by 3 and 1/2 year period similar to the famine in Elijah's Day. Also, there are 14 latter rain periods from Adar 1988 to Adar 2001*, which is the start of the 11th hour harvest and the first hour of day, see Acts 27:29 .
Zechariah 1:7Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Zechariah 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.

2001 is the first hour of Day- Those associated with the Christian Religion reaches 2 billion (which is 1/3 of the Earth's population).
Interesting Tidbit:During the Apostle Paul's trip to Rome when the Euroclydon Storm arose in the destruction of the ship the emphasis was on the 14th night and the 14th day in which the ship was totally destroyed. It is also interesting that in Acts 27:19 the word "day" is italicized (not part of the original Greek). In Acts 27 :19 we see that all hope of saving the ship (a picture of the physical organized churches) was lost when the tackling of the ship was cast overboard the ship. The Roman Night consists of 4 watches while the Jewish Night consists of 3 watches. Following the Biblical Concept that a 24 year period 1988[Adar 1 5748 Four Winds begin to Blow Euroclydon /Spirtual Flood/ The first date that order given to "kill" the true believers Adar 1-13] TO THE YEAR2012 [Tishri 15/16 Feast of Ingathering]) is a length of time [ 8,993 Days = 23 X 23 ( double Judgment) X 17 (Heaven)] that meets the spiritual reconciliation requirements of Revelation 9:15.

Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Revelation 9:15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
The third (as a night watch period of in reference to the Roman nighttime) would correlate to the year (1994 - abomination of desolation Satan is in control of the physical organized churches) and the third (as a night watch period in reference to the Jewish nighttime) would correlate to the year (1997 -Start of the Latter Rain Harvest outside the physical organized churches), more detailed studies will be presented later.
Acts 27:19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away

Christ typified as the true vine and the true believers are the branches that produce fruits are harvested at Pentecost (a harvest not dependent on Latter Rain), John 15:1. Christ blood was for the remission of sin. If Christ the vine presence is no longer there in the physical organized churches there remains no remission for sin, Matthew 26:28. The Winepress lasted for 1,600 furlongs trampled (broken) away from the city, Revelation 14:20. The 1,600 furlong spiritually represents a period of 2,000 years from Christ Birth 7 BC (Presence) to 1994 AD (abomination of desolation, Christ departure), see fathoms and furlong study.
John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Revelation 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Revelation 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
The summer of the physical organized churches perishes because it has no latter rain
Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Joel 1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’S ministers, mourn.
Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
Joel 1:11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
Joel 1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
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.
1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
