A location in The Gums, Queensland, served as the starting point for Martin's pursuits. With his acquisition of a combine harvester, Martin aspired to establish himself, even with the knowledge of the unpredictable terrain he would have to navigate while operating it. Martin's persistent nature allowed for the development of the first-ever front, and this subsequently enabled him to gain recognition on a global scale while also expanding the operations of his family business.

Does Revelation 14 Show a Pentecost Rapture?

written by Will Schumacher

In my last post I speculate that Pentecost is the Rapture and therefore the 1 Thessalonians 4:17 is a picture of our High Priest, Jesus Christ, lifting the 2 wave loaves and presenting them to the Father.  That would be the reason for the Church meeting Christ in the clouds and for Him not to actually set His feet on the earth to get His Bride. The Church age is then pictured as the process of harvesting wheat, with Pentecost being the wheat harvest.  Wheat is harvested by using a tribulum/tribulation to separate the grain from the husks and then are winnowed/shoveled up into the wind/Holy Spirit to separate the chaff from the grain.  The wheat is the purified Bride.

Matthew 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

I have thought for some time that the number 50 is tied to the Rapture. There are two periods of fifty in the Bible.  Pentecost is the 50th day and Yom Kippur is the 50th year.  However, numbers point to Pentecost as the Rapture. I did a series of posts recently looking at the 22 Books of Revelation and how they are tied to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The 14th letter of the Hebrew alphabet is the letter “nun”.  It has a gematria of 50.  If the rapture is tied to the number 50 and the 14th book of Revelation is tied to the 14th letter of the Hebrew alphabet with a gematria of 50, then I would surmise that we should see a Rapture in the 14th chapter of Revelation. There is a rapture that is pictured as a grain harvest in Revelation 14.  Maybe it is a wheat harvest.

Revelation 14:14-16 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

The Son of Man is Jesus.  He is on a cloud just as we are raptured to the clouds.  An angel cries out just as when Jesus descends it is with a voice of an archangel. There is a harvest.  Pentecost is the wheat harvest.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Further in Revelation 14, the 144,000 are called “firstfruits”. Jesus was the barley harvest firstfruits.  The 2 wave loaves that I believe the Rapture is a picture of is the wheat harvest firstfruits.

Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Exodus 34:22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.

What is also interesting is that Jesus as the “Son of man” is pictured with a golden crown on His head. This obviously refers to kingship.  Jesus is being pictured as the king when He reaps.  In the Old Testament God was the king of Israel ever since He made His covenant with His people at Sinai on Pentecost.  However Israel decided they wanted a man to be king over them instead. They chose Saul. This was on Pentecost, the wheat harvest.

1 Samuel 12:17 Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.

There is a second “reaping” in Revelation 14.  It is about grapes. The fall feasts are about the grape harvest.

Revelation 14:17-20 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

What I believe Revelation 14 may be showing is that the Rapture happens at the wheat harvest of Pentecost and then the wrath of God, pictured by the winepress for the grapes, is poured out during the fall feasts. An interesting verse jump:

Revelation 14: 14-16 is called a harvest.  Revelation 14: 17-20 never uses the word “harvest”.  Strong’s G2326 = ”harvest”. The first time the phrase “wheat harvest” is used in the Bible is verse 845:

Genesis 30:14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.

Verse 29621 is what I believe may be a picture of the wheat harvest:

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

If you view the Bible as a continual circle and add 2326 (Strong’s G2326 = harvest) to verse 29621 you would come to verse 845 which is Genesis 30:14 and the first use of the phrase “wheat harvest”.

Some number information on firstfruits: Enoch who is the prototype of the Rapture is said to have been born and taken/raptured on Pentecost.  The wheat harvest firstfruits would be a type of the Rapture then. Strong’s H1061 = firstfruits. Enoch was taken/raptured 1061 years before Isaac the promised child of faith was born. Enoch taken after 987 years and Isaac born after 2048 years. Prime numbers 1-97 add up to 1061. Enoch New Testament gematria is 1455 =15x97. The 97th verse of the Bible is the first mention of an Enoch:

Genesis 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. Enoch Old Testament gematria is 84. Verse 84 is about an acceptable offering of “firstlings”.  This is Strong’s H1062.  It is the same root family as Strong’s H1061 = firstfruits.  It is actually the same word with the added letter “hey” at the end.

Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:

Jacob was 84 when he married Rachel and Leah. 536 years earlier was the flood when the ark/church was lifted up and saved while God’s wrath was poured out on the unrighteous.  Strong G536 =”firstfruits”.  The 144,000 of Revelation 14 are called firstfruits. This 84 number is tied to marriage.  God married His people on Pentecost.  Enoch with a gematria of 84 born and taken on Pentecost. Enoch’s root is shared by Hannukah, which is the 84th day of the civil year on the Jewish calendar.  Hannukah is about victory over assimilation.  You could say they chose to stay married to God rather than be married to the world. From the Temple Institute: The Israelites would mark their firstfruits (just like we are marked with the Holy Spirit) and they could bring them to the Temple beginning at Pentecost and the last day they could was Hannukah.
