Why AShortWork.org
Most of us who plan to contribute to this venue are near the end of our service as members of the Ekklesia simply because of age and strength. As a result, considering the present distress in society and the ongoing deception and distress in the churches of God, we don't consider this is the time or place to stand aside. True unity is not with each other, it is with YHVH and Jesus Christ. If numbers were a consideration then most of us could have just stayed in the organization we were in when we were called.
Weekly Study Video
The Wheat Harvest
The dead in Messiah shall rise first, before the living. Would Abraham, Isaac & Jacob be considered "the dead in Messiah"? They would have been dead long before Messiah was born of Mary and died for our sins. This makes me think that the patriarchs and all of those who are listed in Hebrews as righteous men made perfect are actually resurrected in a barley harvest which occurs before the wheat Harvest. I do not pretend to completely understand how Yehovah has planned this but I know that what I have been taught, years ago, does not agree with the consistency of scripture. The consistency of scripture is that there will be 3 harvests and scripture does give some detail as to who is in each one.

The Holy City of New Jerusalem
Ezekiel 40-48 describes a changed physical Temple area in Jerusalem as well as major changes in the priesthood, to be made after the events of the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 are fulfilled.
Leviticus 23:15-17 NKJV
And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf (Omer) of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall offer a new grain offering to Yehovah.
You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to Yehovah.
