1987/88 Beginning of Unproductive Summer absence of Latter Rain (a drought, Psalms 32:4 )

1988 Adar a Winter Month and the Final Ripening of First Fruit (Song 2:13)- Winter the days are the Shortest

1996 Beginning of Productive Summer - Summer the days are the longest

The - 50∞ latitude band (south of the Equator) is around Argentina and Chile.  The countries (land) within the 30∞ through the 50∞ latitude bands (north of the Equator) have moderate climates (ideal for agriculture). The Earth's lands within the 50∞ latitude through 70∞ latitude bands (north of the Equator) have polar climates (extremely cold temperatures not suitable for agriculture or human populations).

The Bible equates the harvest of crops with the harvest of the souls of people:

Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Matthew 13:20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Matthew 13:21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

Matthew 13:22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Mark 12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

Mark 12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

Matthew 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

Matthew 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

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 Gospel is to be preached to the inhabitants of the earth then the end will come.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

 

It is within the 50∞ north and -50∞ south latitudes where most of the world's population dwells, and it is also where most of the world's agriculture harvest is derived from.

In the southern hemisphere on about December 21, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere; in the southern hemisphere the seasons are reversed).

The Final Tribulation period in Revelation 9:15 is typified spiritually as an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year (a 24 year period) consisting of night 12 hours as 12 years and day 12 hours as 12 years (hour as years). The rising and setting of the sun (light) is not constrain to the 12 hours equally between day and night, as the days are shorter in winter and longer in summer.

We see in Zechriah 14:8 that the Bible allows simultaneous seasons. The beginning of the tribulation in Adar 1988 is identified with winter a time of spiritual nighttime. Winter is also related with the beginning of firstfruit (Adar Unripe) firstfruit, which does not need latter rain and is fully ripe at Pentecost (Spring) 1994.

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.

Mark 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Song 2:13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away

 

The season of no latter rain [which can also be a period of

1987- 1994] typified as the beginning of summer (drought for the physical organized churches) occurs before the Final Pentecost Harvest of 1994 (49 days/ 7 weeks 1987- 1994.

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 YEAR 2012 [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 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Also, it is important to remember from the previous study we have learned that for the true believer to successfully bring the Gospel spiritual day or light must exist for the souls to be saved.

John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

We see in the example, Paul preached to the church in Troas until midnight* (light existed although it was night), at which time Eutychus (a picture of the true believers) falls asleep (fell dead outside the church window) and lay there dead until daylight.

* Midnight also correlates to the year 1994 the abomination of desolation which is the effective end of any productive harvest coming ever again within the physical organized churches, as Satan is now controlling the physical organized churches.

Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Acts 20:8 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

Acts 20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

Acts 20:10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

Acts 20:11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

Acts 20:12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.

The shortest period of daylight of 8 hours occurs in Winter within the 50∞ north and -50∞ south latitudes which is where most of the world's population dwells, and it is also where most of the world agriculture harvest is produced.

We see in Adar (winter) 1988 (a winter of no latter rain results in unproductive summer*, 1987/88 to 1996 - 1988 [winter] to 1996 a period of 8 years ) that the days are cut shut short in length of hours between sunset and sunrise (night). Night is identified with limited (Acts 20:7) or no harvest activity (John 9:4).

* summer as drought is identified with both day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to sunrise)
Psalms 32:4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

Mark 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened [] those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days [].

The unripe green figs and tender grapes is identified with the season of winter. The appearance of the early rain unripe firstfruit (green figs and tender grapes) occurs in winter and is fully ripe* at Pentecost 1994.

 

*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.

Song 2:13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away

Song 7:12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

 

The season of winter is paralleled with night.

 

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

The longest period of daylight of 16 hours occurs in Summer within the 50∞ north and -50∞ south latitudes which is where most of the world's population dwells, and it is also where most of the world agriculture harvest is produced.

 

We see in summer the days are longer from sunrise to sunset. Spiritually this is a period when the work of the true believers begins in the morning and accelerates resulting in a period of a productive spiritual summer to the Feast of ingathering (1996- 2012- a period of 16 years).

The spiritual beginning of morning watch (4 hours as years - 1996-2000) correlates with the Start of the Final Harvest (4 months to Harvest) with increase spiritual activity as more laborers are hired during the remaining 12 hours of the Final Harvest (Feast of Ingathering).

 

Matthew 20:1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

Matthew 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

Matthew 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,

Matthew 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

Matthew 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.

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.

Matthew 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

Matthew 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

 

Isaiah 17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

*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.
