Harvest

This book is dedicated to unraveling the apocalypse mystery as a self-fulfilling prophecy, and illuminates following events of the 2nd advent of Jesus of Nazareth: Signs, Last Judgment, and emergence of a new age of universal peace and brotherhood on the earth, without crime, war and poverty. And I looked and saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was One like the Son of Man,c with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. Then another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the One seated on the cloud, “Swing Your sickle and reap, because the time has come to harvest; for the crop of the earth is ripe.” So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. Revelation 14:14–16.
