Virgo, the Sheaf of Wheat, and the Coming Harvest

🌌 🌾 Virgo, Spica, and Trumpet: A Heaven-Written Harvest

"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons (moedim: appointed times), and for days, and years." (Genesis 1:14)

Look up into the heavens above Jerusalem on September 23, 2025. Among the constellations, one figure stands out: Virgo, the Virgin. In her hand she carries a sheaf of wheat. The brightest star in that cluster is Spica—its very name means “ear of wheat.”  The New Moon, scarcely more than a sliver, barely visible, edges close to Spica.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." (Psalm 19:1)

Have the heavens begun to speak?

This alignment is no mere coincidence—it converges with a sacred, appointed time. As the shofar (trumpet) is lifted for Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, the heavens write in light: the harvest is coming.

This is no random detail. From Genesis to Revelation, the imagery of seed, wheat, and harvest runs like a golden thread through Scripture. When we set Virgo and her wheat beside these passages, a profound prophetic picture emerges: Christ as the promised Seed, His death and resurrection as the planting, and the final harvest at the end of the age.

🌱 The Seed Must Die to Bring Forth Fruit

Jesus declared:

“Except a corn (grain, seed) of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” (John 12:24)

The wheat sheaf in Virgo’s hand points to this mystery. The Virgin Mary carried the promised Seed (Genesis 3:15), who would be sown into the earth, buried like grain. His resurrection was the Firstfruits of a greater harvest still to come (1 Corinthians 15:20).

From the very beginning, God promised:

“The seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent’s head.” (Genesis 3:15)

Spica, a seed shining amongst the grain sheaf in Virgo’s hand, is like a starry reminder of that promise. Jesus as the Seed was planted, sown in good ground, emerging in the fruitful promise of eternal life.

🌾 Harvest, Separation, and the End of the Age

Jesus explained the parable of the wheat and tares:

“He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.” (Matthew 13:37-40)

Wheat is the good seed gathered into God’s barn. Chaff is the wicked tares burned with unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:12, Luke 3:17).

Harvest is more than agriculture—it is eschatology.

Harvest images flow with separation to an established end—either new heaven/earth or lake of fire. The harvest is both mercy and judgment.

Revelation 14:14-16 shows the Son of Man seated on a cloud with a sickle in His hand, reaping the ripened earth. The wheat in the Virgin’s hand is more than a star—not only does it point to the birth of the Seed, but forward to the harvest at the end of the age.

"...Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe." (Revelation 14:15)

🧺 Gleanings, Grace, and the Outsider

Israel’s harvest laws demand mercy, commanding them not to reap to the very edges of their fields:

"And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest...thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger..." (Leviticus 19:9-10)

This detail, often overlooked, reveals God’s heart: the harvest is not just for the strong, but for the weak, the widow, and the foreigner (stranger).

Ruth, a foreigner, gleaned among the sheaves of Boaz (Ruth 2). Out of mercy, redemption began. Out of that harvest field came a kinsman redeemer—leading to the lineage of David and ultimately Jesus Christ. 

Virgo’s wheat of compassion and inclusion is not only about who is inside the barn—but who is still standing in the field, waiting for mercy, waiting for a hand to glean for them. The harvest is never full until even the outsider finds the Bread of Life.

Virgo's wheat reminds us: the harvest is a place of covenant and redemption. The Seed is not for Israel alone, but for Jew and Gentile, for rich and poor, for all who will come.

✨ Firstfruits, Resurrection, and Fulfillment

At Pentecost (the Feast of Weeks), Israel waved the firstfruits of the wheat harvest before the Lord (Leviticus 23:15–17). Paul calls Jesus "the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20).

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." (1 Corinthians 15:22-23)

Spica is like that first bright Seed—the single star shining before the greater harvest. Christ blazed forth as the Firstfruits, guaranteeing that a full resurrection harvest will follow, when every sheaf will be gathered.

When Virgo shines with Spica, remember: redemption's story is written in the stars above. The Seed has been sown, the fruit is multiplying, and the final harvest is near.

🌙 September 23, 2025 — The Celestial Witness

On September 23, 2025, the heavens will stage a living parable over Jerusalem.

🌙 The New Moon—the sliver of light that signals God’s moedim, His appointed times—will draw near to Spica, the bright star in the "ear of wheat" in Virgo’s hand. 

📯 At the same moment, watchmen in Jerusalem will lift their eyes to declare the sighting of that Moon, sounding the shofar to begin Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets. This is the day when the shofar announces a new year, a new cycle, and the expectation of the King.

"Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation." (Leviticus 23:24)

✨ Overhead, the Virgin holds her sheaf, the Moon joining her hand, as if the heavens themselves are proclaiming: The time of harvest is near.

Even a comet (C/2025 K1 (ATLAS)) will wander close by—like Heaven adding an exclamation mark to the scene.

📯 The Trumpet Blows

As the New Moon is revealed over Jerusalem; Spica calls out from Virgo's wheat sheaf. The heavens are no longer just a dome above us—they are a proclamation. Yom Teruah is the feast of awakening, of announcement, of the King’s arrival. Paul ties its meaning to a mystery of God:

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51-52)

And again:

"For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17)

These are not distant promises but the very near future when we examine the signs of the times all around us. Within the heavenly signs of this appointed season: Virgo the Virgin recalling Mary and her Seed (Spica), the Sheaf of wheat being the harvest of the good seed, the Moon revealing the season, and the Trumpet preparing us for Jesus's arrival.

• The Virgin recalls Mary, who bore the Seed.

• The Wheat recalls the harvest of souls at the end of the age.

• The New Moon marks God’s moedim, His appointed times.

• The Trumpet announces His coming.

This is not "date setting". These are signs to watch. This is a call to the Saints, keep your patience and faith. We have the promise of His appearing.

🌟🌟🌟The sky is rehearsing what the Scriptures have promised🌟🌟🌟

This is a moment of holy suspense—when the heavens align with what God has promised. Turn your eyes upward, turn your heart toward Jesus, pray to the Lord of the Harvest (Matthew 9:38, Luke 10:2). 

"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:25-28)

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." (Matthew 24:29-31)

"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped." (Revelation 14:12-16)

When you see Virgo with Spica shining, remember: the story of hope, faith, and redemption is written in both the stars in the heavens above and the Scriptures here on earth, God's faithful witnesses.

💖 A Final Invitation

Let this be more than a blog post or a teaching.

I pray that it speaks to your heart, soul, and spirit.

If you have ignored the alarms of Heaven, hear the Trumpet now.

If you have been in a spiritual slumber, let the Moon's sliver awaken you.

If your faith is small, your hope buried, remember, the Seed had to be buried, to bring forth much fruit. You are that fruit.

🔑With every Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah, be prepared, be ready, be watchful.

      Examine your heart.

      Lift your eyes up to the heavens, looking for your redemption. 

      Open your ears to the voice of the Trumpet.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." (John 10:27-30)

The sound/voice of the Trumpet is not for the fearful; it is for those who are ready, walking in holiness. The harvest is not for the idle; it is for those who watch and wait. And the King, the Lord of the Harvest, does not delay beyond what is appointed; He comes at the time fixed in the heavens, and the feast is set. No one can pluck Spica from Virgo's hand.

Lift up your head. Behold what the stars and Moon are proclaiming. The time is near. The resurrection is real. The harvest awaits. And the trumpet will soon sound. Live in readiness.

To all who await the sound of the trumpet and glorious appearing of our Savior, Jesus:

The LORD bless you, and keep you:

The LORD make HIS face shine upon you, and be gracious to you:

The LORD lift up HIS countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Amen and Amen.
