The one having the golden crown has a sharp sickle which is used for harvesting. The sickle symbolizes the spiritual tool for the spiritual harvesting. The ripe grain symbolizes the people who will be in God’s army. Therefore, we can conclude that the temple is the place where the people are being raised to become ripe.

Because the harvester should work with the angel, Jesus Christ has to introduce him to the angel. So Jesus said, “For he who overcomes, I will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels” (Rev. 3:5).

Because the Overcomer is the one like the son of man, he will first communicate with the angel, who is working on the temple, and will then be able to harvest the crop. The angel will say “take your sickle and harvest, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” He will therefore be unable to touch the immature crop, even though there will be many.

God showed me something related to the harvest in a vision. It was a windy day. He asked, “What do you see?” I answered, “Chestnuts are dropping from the trees to the ground because of the wind. So I am collecting them in a basket.”

He added, “If your sheep are not ripe enough like the chestnuts, you are not able to harvest them.”

In another vision, he also asked, “What are you doing?” I answered, “I am collecting grapes.” I was able to easily collect the ripe grapes, but I could not pick an immature one, even though I rotated its stem several times. God said, “You cannot collect the immature one, right? As you cannot harvest the immature one, you cannot harvest your sheep that are not ripe yet.” He emphasized that I had to only harvest that which was ready to be harvested.

This is our destiny. Even if there are many people in the church, I cannot harvest anyone if they are not ripe. Because God showed me how to build the temple where the grain will mature and become ripe, I named it ‘Harvest Temple.’

My work is to follow God's word. “Make your followers qualified to come into my world, even if there is only one.” Our church is pursuing to make the ripe grain, rather than trying to attract massive crowds come. Therefore, even if only one person attends my sermon, he must become ripe.
