From earlier studies, we have learned that 40 year periods from the 1st Temple in Jerusalem when the foundation was laid in 967 BC to 2012 AD typified a complete harvest season which is similar to the 49 fifty-year periods from the Jubilee Year that the Temple Sacrifices were restituted (Completion of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem) in 457 BC to 1994 AD and a short season. So, there are 49 forty -year periods and a short season based on multiplying 40 instead of 50 by fractions of 1/3 and 1/2 to arrive at the completion of the 50th Season.

In this study, we see that the from the beginning reign of King David in 1007 BC to the birth of Christ in 7 BC typified a period of early and latter rain. From the Birth of Christ in 7 BC to 1994 AD typified the completion of the Pentecost harvest. The Levitical Rules of Land rest (Leviticus 25:18 -25) and the Pentecost harvest (which come before a sabbatical year) provides a pathway to the year 2012 as the Final Season of Harvest.

Notes

(a)

Christ birth (firstfruit) was associated with the birth line of David. Early Rain is a precursor to the coming of firstfruit.

Psalms 132:11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations

(b)

Christ birth is identified with the Passover.

Luke 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Christ is identified with firstfruit.

1Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Leviticus 25:3-21 provides Biblical Rules regarding Land Rest and the Harvest. The 6th year was the last year of harvest (Pentecost -1994) before a Sabbath in the 7th year (1994/1995). Sabbaths were periods specifically indicated by God when there was to be no harvest activity, see related link.

* Note Pentecost was a Sabbath also, see Leviticus 23:15 -21

Leviticus 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

Leviticus 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23:17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23:18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

Leviticus 23:19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

Leviticus 23:20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

Leviticus 23:21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

There is a correlation in the establishment of the land rest and the Pentecost harvest, which is also followed by sabbatical year 1994/1995.

Leviticus 25:18 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

Leviticus 25:19 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

Leviticus 25:20 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

Leviticus 25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

Leviticus 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

Leviticus 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

Leviticus 25:24 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

Leviticus 25:25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

Leviticus 25:26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

Leviticus 25:27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

The Final Season of Harvest attributable solely to latter rain (finished work Romans 9:28) is 15 years* defined as a season that is cut short in righteousness.

*note summer harvest which started in 1996 is a product of early rain but will perish without the latter rain which ocurred in 1997.

Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Romans 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

To cut righteously (multiplied by fractions of 1/3 and 1/2) a pattern points to the year 2012 as the Final Year of the Latter Rain Harvest.

To Cut righteously is to cut by a half

Zechariah 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

To Cut righteously is to cut by a third

Zechariah 13:8 And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
