REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty - Harvest of the Earth - Conclusion

 Although he is a King and a Judge, Jesus waits for word from Jehovah his God before beginning to reap.  That word comes from  "the temple sanctuary" by means of an angel. Immediately, Jesus obeys. First, from 1919on, he has his angels  complete the harvesting of the 1144,000. (Matthew 13:39, 43) Next, the harvest ingathering of the great crowd of other sheep takes place. (Matthew 25:31-33;  John 10:16; Revelation 7:9) Histor shows that between 1931 and 1935 Jehovah opened to the  understanding of the John class the real identity of the great crowd of Revelation7:9-17.  Thenceforth, much emphasis was placed on the ingather of this crowd. By the year 1988, it number has far exceeded the three million  mark, and it still increasing.  Surely, the one like a son of man has reaped a bountiful harvest during this times of the end. - Compare EXODUS 23:16; 34:22.
