12
And he will set them for himself, as commanders◦ of thousands and commanders◦ of fifties, and to plow his plowing, and to harvest his harvest, and to make his instruments of war and the instruments of his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:12
Harvest
The 'Harvest,' as mentioned in Mark 4:29, signifies the increase of the church in general and particular.
In Joel 3:13, it signifies the last state of the church before it has been devastated from all good and truth.
'A harvest' symbolizes the state of the church with respect to Divine truth. The reason is that a harvest yields the grain used to make bread, and grain and bread symbolize the church's goodness, which is achieved through truths.
