The grape harvest, which is also called the vintage. Late summer, early autumn
comes the grape harvest. The Hebrews would go into their vineyards, gather
their grapes, crush their grapes for the wine. It would all come in the autumn time.
September, October. In time for the Feast of Tabernacles. Grapes would
decorate the Sukkahs as they do here. Grapes would decorate the tabernacle and
they would bring all their fruits to Jerusalem. And even here is a mystery
that is in Tabernacles that reveals to you, in the end times will be the time
of the grape harvest. What does that mean? ... you read the book of Revelation,
it's interesting what you see. Because it's so matches with the autumn
of the Hebrew year and the Feast of Tabernacles. And another angel, Revelation 14.
Another angel came out from the altar who had power over fire and cried
with a loud voice to him who had a sharp sickle. Saying, thrust in your sharp sickle
and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth. For her grapes are fully ripe.
So the angel thrust his sickle in the earth and gathered the vine of the earth
and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. Amazing! This is the exact
imagery that happens in the autumn, right now, at this time in the Hebrew year,
the time linked to the end times and it's the grape harvest. That's the imagery here.
The Feast of Tabernacles is specifically linked to a specific
harvest, the grape, and that's specifically what is in the end times.
It also goes on to say, and the winepress was trampled outside the city.
Talking about judgment now. A sign of judgment. And it's so consistent because
the Book of Joel, which also speaks about the end times, that's where you get, I will pour
my Spirit on all flesh, also says, Joel 3:11, assemble, come all you nations,
gather together all around. Talking about all the gathering
to Israel. Calls ... wants to go down there, O Lord. Let the nations be wakened
and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For I will sit to judge all
the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle for the harvest is ripe. Go down. Come.
For the wine press is full. the Vats overflow. Same thing as in Revelation!
Same thing for the autumn day. One of the symbols of judgment in the Bible is
the crushing of grapes. It's right there. You've known it your whole life.
Every time you sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic, what did you say?
Didn't make sense to you back then. But, He is trampling down the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored. That is from this. All ...
... it's not only, so it's judgment in the end times ... But there's also
another harvest that comes in the autumn, around the time
of the Feast of Tabernacles. What is it? This is very different. There's a beautiful symbol
of Israel in the Bible and the Church, and it is the olive tree. So Paul wrote,
to the non-Jewish believers, you've been grafted in to the olive tree.
What olive tree? Of Israel. You are spiritually Jewish now. You are joined to the life,
the sap of the, of Israel. You are now, you are now part of Israel. You are, you are
organically joined to Israel now. And what about those natural branches,
that were broken off? The Jewish people, who were ... He says, well they're gonna be
joined again at the end. In the time of the fullness when this all happens
Israel will get grafted back into the olive tree. And it'll be life from death.
Jew and Gentile will be together at the end in that olive tree. That's what it's saying.
Now it's interesting because there's a month, now this is so cool because
the, the Hebrew year is like this unfolder of this mystery, because it says
that there's one year ... one time in the Hebrew year when the olive
harvest begins. When is that? That's the month of Elul which is August, September.
Elul is the time just before the trumpet blasts on Tishri. Trumpets ends Elul,
begins the seventh month, Tishri.
So interesting. What, what are we saying here? In the month the, the olive harvest begins, Elul,
before the trumpets, and then goes through the trumpets. And all these holy
days the olive harvest goes through. What's it saying? Well how do you,
how would you put that together? Well we're saying that before the great trumpet
sounds we will see the Jewish people coming back into the olive tree.
It'll keep going, but it starts before the great day of the Lord. And we're watching that.
But also would be linked to the Church coming to its fullness that
the Church also, and you notice that ... are coming together. In the last days you didn't
have this. Through the Middle Ages you didn't have it. Even, even fifty years ago.
You have more and more the true Church joined to Israel. You have, you have never
had shofars blowing in churches, in history. You never had Passover
in churches since the first century. Pretty much, I mean. You never had all this stuff.
You never had Him being called Yeshua for 2,000 years. So all part of the olive
tree blossoming. But that's what happens at this time of the year. And we are in that.
We are in that. And what, what else is the olive harvest about? What else?
What? You got it. Olives bring oil. When you crush
the grape you get wine. ... here it's a symbol ... of judgment.
When you crush the olive you get oil. What comes from the olive harvest ...
The Holy Spirit. The oil is the symbol of Holy Spirit. So the olive
harvest, the fullness of the olive is linked to the pouring of the Spirit.
As we know there will be a great outpouring at the end. And so here the same.
So get it all together you know at the same time. Olive tree linked to the Jewish people.
The olive harvest coming back to Messiah. But that's also linked to the pouring out
of the Spirit and the fullness of the Church all together. It's, it's all joined
together. The Jewish people are joined. The Church is joined to the Jewish
people, from the beginning to the end. And so, but it's, but in the beginning
they're more together. At the end it all comes together.
