Jehoash (King of Israel) son of Jehoahaz, reigned 16 years (798 BC to 782 BC). The Final Harvest is identified with a period of 4 months (16 weeks), John 4:35. When Jehoash ascended the throne the kingdom was suffering from the invasion of the Syrians. Hazael “was cutting Israel short.” He tolerated the worship of the golden calves, yet seems to have manifested a character of sincere devotion to God. There are 2793 years from 782 BC to the year 2012 AD. The factors of 2793 are: 3 [purpose] X 49 [Sabbatical/End of Harvest] and 19 [Great Tribulation of Jacob's Day]
Easton (abstract)

 

In prior studies we have seen that the completion of the harvest is dependent on the receiving of early (former) and latter rain.

 

Jeremiah 5:24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

 

The season of summer is the final season because it is the only season that requires early and latter rain. The receiving of the early and latter rain consummates with the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ:

 

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

 

The absence of latter rain in Judah insured that spiritually there would not be a Final harvest in Judah (Summer to the Feast of Ingathering).

 

Judah's unrepented rebellion:

 

Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

 

The same predicament occurs to the physical organized churches (tiller of vineyard who replaced national Israel) as their harvest activity is preempted by the absence of latter rain.

 

Physical organized churches just as Judah cut off because of unrepented rebellion:

 

Romans 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

Romans 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

Romans 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

 

Church in Thyatira

 

Revelation 2:18 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

Revelation 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Revelation 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

 

 

The year 587/586 BC is the first harvest year following the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in the summer of 587 BC. There are 48 years 587 BC to 539 BC. 48 is a multiple of 3 [purpose] x 16 [there are 16 weeks from summer to the feast of ingathering] or 4 X 4 [4 months is identified with the final harvest from summer to ingathering].

Period

Explanations

(a)

539 BC - 2012 AD
2,550 years is comprised of the factors: 3 (Purpose) X 50 (Complete Harvest Cycle) X17 (Heaven)  
The Jews that obeyed the commandment and became captive produced a harvest outside Judah, similar to the true believers who produce a summer to the feast of ingathering (Final Harvest) outside the physical organized churches, due to lack of spiritual latter rains in the physical organized churches.. 
Jeremiah 29:28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
The 13,024th year (Tishri 2012) is comprised of the factors: 4 (the complete end) X 11( the final harvest hour/year) X 296 (59 days of Latter Rain + 119 Early Rain + 118 days Sivan 16 thru the Feast of Ingathering)

(b)

587/586 BC - Tishri 1996 AD

The factors of 2581 years are 29 and 89. The sum of 29 and 89 equals 118. Note: the summation of numerical factors between times of significant Biblical Events sometimes may provider us with a Biblical Time Path to the (End of the World) Return of Christ Example 1 and Example 2. 586 BC would have been the first harvest year Babylon after Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 BC (586 BC + 2581years) = 1996 AD.

(c)

2011-2012 AD

The Bible indicates a beginning (Fall seedtime) and ending year is associated with the Ingathering (Completion of Harvest -Fall-Tishri 15).

 

Exodus 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast  gathered in thy labours out of the field.

 

A year consist of 12 or 13 months (depending on whether solar or lunar years are used).

EXAMPLE

Year 2011

Year 2012

11013 BC (Fall) + 2010 years = beginning of final fall (Rain Season) for the 23rd Harvest Year) or 2011AD

11013 BC (Fall) + 2011 years = end of final fall (Final 23rd Harvest Time) or 2012 AD

Under our Gregorian calendar, the 1st month (January) is the beginning of 23rd year in 2011 and the 12th month December is the end of 23rd year in 2011. The end of the 23rd year is the beginning of the 24th year ( January 1, 2012). There are 24 January to December years from Jan 1, 1988 to December 31, 2011 (does reflect a full 23 YEARS or end of the 23rd Year). However, no Biblical evidence that years should be recognized from January 1 to December 31 under our Gregorian calendar.

Jewish (agriculture)

 

The final harvest is typified by 23rd year end of Harvest Season (Final Tribulation a period of 24 years) not the beginning of (beginning of the Rain Season) of the 23rd year. The end of the 23rd hour is the end of day for a 24 hour day, as we see in Revelation 9:15.

 

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..

 

This concept also parallels the Laborers that were hired at the 11th hour (fiinal hour of the day) in Matthew 20:6.  The end of the Laborers' day did not come  at the beginning of 11th hour but 1 hour (a year /12-months) later (the end of the day 12th hour-even come Matthew 20:8).

 

Matthew 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?

Matthew 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

Matthew 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.

 

The number 3 is identified with purpose or established by God:

 

Deuteronomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

 

The number 19 is identified with length of great tribulation:

 

19 years signified the length of time in which the spiritual latter rain harvest was concluded outside Chanaan during Jacob’s Day.

 

Acts 7:11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

God sometimes equates the season of rain with the harvest season, because of their integral relationship.

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain

The beginning season of rain that would effect Jacob's 1879 BC Harvest would have been 1880 BC. 1880 BC + 1992 years = 1993 AD or 3872 years.

88 (29.5 [lunar month] X3) days (3 months) is identified with God's decision whether to rain (bring saving gospel) or not to rain on a city

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

The final hour of the Final Harvest is typified as the 11th hour which end with sunset (the end of day), Matthew 20:6-9.The Fig Tree Harvest typifies the last 12 years of Final Harvest activity.

Number 4 is identified with the universal (worldwide- 4 winds, Mark 13:27) and the number 4 Biblical usage is connected with the end of an event. For examples, the Children of Israel were in the wilderness for 40 years which has multiples of 10 (completeness) X 4 (end) and God's four sore judgments upon Jerusalem. The complete end of their wilderness journey ended in 40 years and the four sore judgments which result in the end of Physical Jerusalem.

  

The number (7 X 7) 49 is identified with the perfect completion/Sabbath (end of Harvest Activity).

 

Leviticus 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

Leviticus 25:5 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

Leviticus 25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

Leviticus 25:7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

Leviticus 25:8 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

 

 

The final cessation of harvest activity is the end of the World:

 

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

Matthew 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;

Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
