ANGLIC PROCLAMATIONS
Angel #1 – Time is running out
Rev 14:1-5 And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
See “5. The Nesuin – Marriage – The taking” for parallels
First Fruit=Barley harvest (early spring)=groomsmen (+ bridesmaids?) They assist the groom stealing the bride.
Wheat harvest=Pentecost=Bride The most important harvest for Israel’s survival.
Wet harvest (grapes, citrus, pomegranates) in early fall Guests
In a way there are more harvests because the edges of the field were not harvested by the owner of the field. Travelers and the poor harvested the corners. The so-called gleanings.
The 1st warning is simple: Time is running out.
Angel #2 – The fall of Babylon
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Babylon=confusion (by mixing) H894
The wine of wrath are the seven bowl judgments.
Angel #3 – Worshippers of the beast
Rev 14:9-10 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Angel #4 – Worshippers of the beast
Rev 14:14-16 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and on the cloud one sat like to the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap: for the time is come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Dan 7:13-14 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Jesus (son of man, crown) returns and harvests (sickle) His bride. (Wheat harvest)
A fair guess is this feast takes place at Pentecost. According to Jewish calculation not the flawed Christian. God married Israel on Mount Sinai at Pentecost.
