Metaphorical concept that considers the Church as a farm field and evangelical workers as sowers, farmers and reapers. Jesus himself used such a significant metaphor when he said: “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his field.” (Mt. 9.37-38; Lc. 10. 2; Jn. 4.35)

therismos (qerismov”, 2326), related to therizo, to reap, to reap. It is used: (a) of the act of reaping (Joh 4:35 “harvest”); (b) of harvest time, figuratively (Mat 13:30 “harvest”, v. 39: “harvest”; Mc 4.29: “harvest”); (c) of the harvest, figuratively (Mat 9:37 “Mies”; v. 38: “Mies”; Luk 10:2 “Mies”, three times; Rev 15:15 “Mies”). The beginning of the harvest varied according to natural conditions, but generally occurred around mid-April in the lowlands of Palestine, in the latter part of the month in the coastal plains, and somewhat later in the higher lands. The barley harvest usually came first, followed by the wheat harvest. The harvest lasted about seven weeks, and was the occasion of festive celebrations.¶
