A GREAT SCRIPTURAL 'METAPHOR' NOT TO BE MISSED..........
A great Scriptural metaphor is an individual , ie. HE, or a group of individuals, ie. THEY , described in the Scriptures as being clothed in "WHITE" which means they are "SINLESS", or without sin, because THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES, AND MADE THEM 'WHITE' IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, therefore THEY are His elect Body of Christ Church who are without sin according to :
Revelation 3:5
"HE that OVERCOMETH , the same SHALL BE CLOTHED IN 'WHITE' RAIMENT....."
Revelation 7:9
"I beheld a great multitude which no man could number of all nations and kindreds , and peoples and tongues stood before the throne and before the Lamb , CLOTHED WITH 'WHITE' ROBES, and with palms in their hands."
Revelation 7:13
"Who are these WHO ARE ARRAYED IN 'WHITE' ROBES ? "
Revelation 7:14
"......These are THEY which came out of great tribulation , and HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM 'WHITE' IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB."
Revelation 12:11
"And THEY OVERCAME him BY THE 'BLOOD' OF THE LAMB......" ( "THEY" are the raptured Church "CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES" as described in Revelation 7:9 above. )
Revelation 19:14
"The armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, CLOTHED IN FINE LINEN , 'WHITE' AND CLAN."
SO, THERE YOU HAVE IT :
The following is a great Scriptural metaphor not to be missed :
John 4:35-36 ( Jesus speaking )
"Do not say, There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest. Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes , and look upon the fields FOR THEY ARE 'WHITE' ALREADY TO HARVEST. And HE THAT REAPS receives wages , and GATHERS FRUIT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL."
Jesus is describing His Elect Body of Christ Church, in a metaphor, as being THE FIELDS which are " WHITE' ALREADY TO HARVEST" in the Spring of the year, NOT four months later in the Fall. Jesus also describes Himself as "HE THAT REAPS" THE FIELDS that are "WHITE' ALREADY TO HARVEST", and He is the One who "GATHERS FRUIT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL " which means HE RAPTURES HIS 'FIRSTFRUITS OF THE SPIRIT' CHURCH TO HEAVEN.
Romans 8:23
".....ourselves which have THE FIRSTFRUITS OF THE SPIRIT waiting for the adoption which is THE REDEMPTION of our bodies."
According to Your Holy Word, come Lord Jesus !
