Bible Verses About The Harvest

The harvest is a period that marks the reaping of what has been sown. It is a natural phenomenon that God made as a part of the markers of seasons and times. Whenever there is planting or sowing, men will naturally expect to reap or harvest. Genesis 8:22

This is also of spiritual significance, because the bible says that the kingdom of God is like a farmer who plants, it is watered, and then fruits are harvested.

There are three harvests that the bible talks about:

1. The natural harvest. Genesis 8:22
2. The harvest of unbelievers into the kingdom of God. Matthew 9:37-38
3. The harvest of the earth at the end of all things. Matthew 13:24-30;38,39

God is concerned with harvesting whatever has been planted. It is always a vital part of His process.

We have a duty to go into the world and do the works of the Father; for the harvest is much, but the workers as we have been told, are few. As believers, we need to step-up and rise up to the task. There are many lost out there in the world who need saving, who need to hear the message of salvation. They need to be harvested out of the thorn-bushes and thistles of darkness and ignorance.

At the end of time, God will also send forth His reaper angels to go and harvest the good fruit (His children) from the Earth. (Matthew 13:38,39; Revelation 14:14-16)
