We are walking in today:  Men Learned in Yahweh's Law, Are Masters of Their Own Homes

They Have Treasures Laid Up To Draw Upon

 Witness harvest crop throughout the Bible:  H7105 qatsiyr  harvesting process of harvesting crop, what is harvested or reaped time of harvest boughs, branches & H4760 mur'ah meaning crop or craw (of a bird), alimentary canal (of a bird)
Leviticus 19:9; Deuteronomy 22:9, 26:2; Mark 4:28-30



Joel 2:23
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month

In looking in what Yahweh has given His people we have to consider the context and cultural premise of the language and understanding of that time frame.  We have often forgotten that the words used with the current understanding may not have have the same meaning to the people in earlier times--specially the  biblical time frame.  For example the word diamond for us today is a highly valued stone that is cut to reveal many facets that catch the light and displays much beauty.  We also have the word diamond in the Bible in reference to the priestly garments, one was included on the breastplate of Aaron the first high priest.  Would it appear as the stone that we know today--very unlikely not.  The attributes that the people in biblical times vary from what is valued now.

Now lets look at the word corn.  We know that it can be canned, creamed, fried, on the cob, popped, frozen and the list goes on and on.  Would the biblical people speak of the corn of their culture the same way?  It turns out that the corn that we find commonplace now was not grown in the the regions of the children of Israel.  It would be many years before this crop would sow up in those lands.  So what would they call corn?  What is this that is being referenced in scripture throughout the Bible?  It must be important and is often listed with wine and oil.  This is what the early and latter rains were given to bring about a good crop.  This is actually a grain that was used to make bread and other foodstuffs. The feast days of Yahweh are placed around the days of harvest.  We see in the wilderness journey, that the promised land was a land of milk and honey where it was watered by Yahweh's hand Himself, that His eye would be on the land, watching over them.  This is repeated to the people over and over that they would cease in trust in anything or anyone else than Him. Through this journey in the wilderness there being matured and unified to be a people freed from slavery in both mind and spirit.  This processing was necessary that they would be able to truly posses the land that they were promised.  They were to drive out all the other inhabitants so that all the tribes would have a portion of land for their linage.  It was on their entry into the promised land that the manna, bread from heaven ceased.  Why?  They were fed in this manner while in the wilderness and being processed and built up.  Going into the promised land the ate the mature corn.  The crop that was fully mature and awaiting their arrival.  But it is more than that--this crop matured in the heat of summer.  The mature nourishment for the people of Almighty Yahweh!  This let's us know that we are to harvest fully developed crops!  If this grain could not withstand the heat of summer is is still immature.  He give us all things fully and completely.  Only in the mature processing do we find that all  of His word is true--we cease from dividing His word into eras or times but know that it all applies for all time!  Shema, Selah--hear to listen to obey Yahweh's word and let us pause to consider what we have heard!
