12. What is the name of the harvester?

Last time, it was said that if you are not the prophesied one, you will not know the secret of God. This time, we're going to talk about the being who will harvest.

The book of Revelation prophesies the one with a sickle to harvest. His name is "the one like a son of man." (Revelation 14:14)
When he fulfills his mission of producing the grain, that is, the heavenly soldiers, an angel will emerge from the temple and instruct him to reap the grain. (Revelation 14:15)

The one like a son of man is foretold in the book of Daniel too.
The “one like a son of man” is guided to “the Ancient of Days” where he will receive everlasting power over all nations. (Daniel 7:13-14)
Some people say that “the one like a son of man” is Jesus, and “the Ancient of Days” is God.
But “the Ancient of Days” is the one who gives judgment for the saints of “the Most High”. (Daniel 7:21-22)
Anyone can know that “the Most High” is God.
Hence, “the Ancient of Days” is not God. He is Jesus.

In the book of Revelation, there is a scene where the martyrs are asking Jesus when he would avenge their blood. (Revelation 6:9-10)
Jesus said that there should be more people like them. (Revelation 6:11)
So, it is Jesus who gives judgment for God's saints.
Therefore, the “Ancients of Days” of Daniel is Jesus.
Since Jesus is the one from the beginning of the world, the name fits well. (John 17:5)

Then, the “one like a son of man” is not Jesus.
He is a servant of God to harvest at the end of time, as foretold in Revelation. (Revelation 14:14)
The “one like a son of man” is a special prophetic being among God’s prophets.
Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Jesus' 12 Apostles, and Paul the Apostle are all not foretold.
So, you may guess what the status of the “one like a son of man” among God's servants is.
Daniel and John the apostle also prophesied about the "one like a son of man."
Hence, you can see that the "one like a son of man" is spiritually higher than them.

God's work on earth will not be complete until the "one like a son of man" appears to carry out the harvest.
With choosing Abraham, God's great work to save humanity began on earth.
And 2,000 years later, when Jesus came and took the cross, a great change was made in God's work.
Since then, God's will has been preached all over the world.
And another 2,000 years later, the "one like a son of man" has appeared and is harvesting.
When he completes the harvest, Jesus will come and take the chosen ones.
At this time, the world will come to an end and the spirit world will unfold.

This time, I told you that the name of the one to harvest is the "one like a son of man," and that he is also foretold in the book of Daniel. Next time, we will discuss the first of the seven covenants given to him by Jesus.

The First Resurrection and the Second Death

-
The Bible says there are the First Resurrection and the Second Death. What do these mean?   1. The First Death   At first, the Bible calls the death of flesh “to sleep”.   Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. ( Dan.12:2)   After he had said this, he went on to tell them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up."  His disciples replied, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better."  Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. ( John11:11-13)   The death God had said doesn’t mean the death of flesh.  It indicates being forsaken by God.  Adam committed sin and was thrown out by God, which is the First Death.  All his descendants are among the death.  Thus Jesus called people the dead.   Another disciple said to him, "Lord, firs...

The Kingdom of Heaven and Hell

-
Generally Christians think those saved go to the kingdom of heaven after life, and sinners, hell.  But where the dead go is not the kingdom of heaven or hell but Hades.  The kingdom of heaven and hell will be created after judgment.  Let see what Hades, the kingdom of heaven, and hell are.   1. Hades   People mostly confuse hell with Hades.  However Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire which is known as hell, so we can know Hades is not hell.   Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ( Rev.20:14)   The Greek “Hades” is a translation of the Hebrew “Sheol” and the meaning of it is grave.  After death, flesh goes to grave and spirit is dragged into the spiritual world, Hades.  The Bible says that as Hades follows behind Death.   I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. ( Rev.6:8) ...

The Providence of God

1. The history of Israel shows God's Providence. 2.  God's Providence consists of 3+4=7. 3.   The 3 means the history of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 4. Abraham is the symbol of God, Isaac Jesus, and Jacob the second olive tree. (John the baptist was the one who prepared the way for Jesus, and the first olive tree is the one who sows seeds for the second. Refer to  The Story of the Three Figures ) 5.  The 4 means the four generations, 400 years, in which the twelve tribes of Israel were raised in Egypt. The 12 comes from 3 times 4. They were God's army who fought against the Canaanites, and the symbol of the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel to fight against the army of the Devil in the future. 6.  Jacob gave births to the 12 sons, which was the symbol for the second olive tree to complete the spiritual 12 tribes of Israel. Each tribe consists of 12,000 and all of them are 144,000. They are God's army, the crop harvested. (Refer to  The Arm...

They are called the wife of the Lamb Jesus, and their names are recorded in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelations 21:9, 27)   God started his work with mankind from Cain and Abel 6,000 years ago, but his people didn’t follow his will. God renewed his work 4,000 years ago choosing Abraham. At that time God had plan to send his son, Jesus, as Abraham’s descendant.   Abraham was called by God in Haran at 75. ...

The Army of Heaven

The book of Revelation shows wars between the army of God and the army of the Devil.  People think commonly the war of Armageddon would be the third World War which will break out in Israel.  However it is symbolic to show a war in the spiritual world.  This war aims to catch the Devil and the Devil is a spirit so the war will be between spirits in spiritual world.  God has been making the army of heaven during 6,000 years.  They have been being made in the Old and New Testament times, 144,000 saints mostly consisted of martyrs.  They will be given the authority to judge after they destroy the Devil, and after the judgment they will be kings to rule the saved from it and priests to serve God.  1.

The Divinity of Jesus

1. Authority over the Nations 2. The being before the Creation 3. Being with the Holy Spirit 4. The prophecy of 30 silver coins 5. The prophecy of the crucifixion 6. The prophecy of the fountain to wash away sins 7. The prophecies of the resurrection and the throne 1. Authority over the Nations In Old Testament are written many prophecies which were given by Jesus.  People may think it doesn’t make sense someone had written prophecies in the Bible before he was born.  But if it is true, we can admit Jesus had been before he came to this world.  This article is for presenting some of the prophecies which were given by Jesus himself. The material which we can directly admit Jesus wrote is Psalm 2.  It is related to Revelations chapter 2.  Let’s see Revelations first. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations-- 'He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery'-...

The Promises given to him who overcomes

-
In the book of Revelation come eight promises for him who overcomes.  The seven of them were given by Jesus and the other one by Jehovah.  Many people think those who have good belief would be the overcomer, but that’s not true.  The reason is those promises are so enormous.  The overcomer will get the authority over nations, and as Jesus is ruling all in heaven on God’s throne together after he had overcome, and the overcomer also will rule all in heaven on Jesus’ throne together.   Jesus tried to find him who would overcome because he wanted to use him as olive tree.  When Jesus was in this world, he didn’t know of olive tree.  After Jesus received God’s book in his right hand he got to know of olive tree.  God already prophesied two olive trees 2500 years ago.  Jesus wanted the overcomer would come out to accomplish the work of olive tree which was predetermined by God.   Let’s look at the promises for the overcomer and fin...
