RECEIVING THE VISION and ANSWERS TO SELF-TESTS When Jesus spoke to His followers about the vision of the harvest He outlined five steps to enable them to receive the vision: (1) SAY NOT YE (2) THERE ARE YET FOUR MONTHS then cometh harvest? (3) BEHOLD, I SAY UNTO YOU, (4) LIFT UP YOUR EYES, and (5) LOOK ON THE FIELDS; for they are white already to harvest. (John 4:35) ANSWERS TO SELF-TESTS CHAPTER TWO: 1. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. (John 4:35) 2. When we speak of a natural parallel of a spiritual truth it means God uses a natural example to explain or represent a spiritual truth. 3. The example was the harvest. 4. The field is the world. Matthew 13:38. 5. You may have listed any of the following reasons. The harvest was an example to which His disciples could easily relate because: -The economy of Israel was based on agriculture. -The religious festivals revolved around the harvest. -Harvesting was a continuous activity throughout the year. -There were natural principles for sowing and reaping which applied to spiritual harvesting. -The disciples recognized the urgency represented by the example of the natural harvest. 6. John 4:35: Say not ye: Do not just talk about the harvest. Yet four months: Do not delay it. I say unto you: Listen to what Jesus says. Lift up your eyes: Turn them from distractions. Look on the fields: See the world through the eyes of God.
