Refers to the reaping of grain — the season, the act, or the crop gathered. In the agricultural world of first-century Palestine, harvest was the climactic moment of the farming year, and the NT writers exploit this resonance fully. Jesus uses it literally when he says 'the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few' (Matt 9:37-38; Luke 10:2), yet even there the metaphor of evangelistic ingathering is unmistakable. In the parable of the wheat and tares (Matt 13:30, 39), harvest becomes an explicit image of the final judgment. Revelation 14:15 brings the metaphor to its apocalyptic conclusion. The translations converge on a single agricultural term across languages: Spanish cosecha/siega, French moisson, German Ernte.
