19 When thou harvestest thy harvest in thy field, and hast forgotten a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not return to take it; it shall be for the sojourner, for the orphan, and for the widow: that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all the deeds of thy hands.

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.
