Jesus is the Sower, the grain of corn that multiplied. He is the Master, gone for a time, leaving believers in charge with a penny wage, or in charge like an overseer.
Many think of the type of the seed, the multiplying of the planted seed, the harvest as the simplest explanation of the spreading of the gospel and salvation, but it is most profound.
Is there a book that tells of the Lord Jesus as the wealthy owner of great harvest fields of grain, with many obedient workers, and many blessed as they come to the owner, the Redeemer kinsman? Yes, it is the Book of Ruth. She is the Lord's wife to be. Naomi, like Israel, is His kinswoman and needs her land returned and she hopes for His rectifying her situation, her needs. Each and every thing that Naomi needs Boaz provides: an heir to replace her sons, a provider of bread for sustenance, and the right to her land, legal and acknowledged by all. The Lord Jesus, as in the type of Boaz, will fulfill all of that.
In the midst of all of this, Boaz gathers his harvest and commits to Ruth his promise that he will deal with the legal ends. Ruth is married, has a son, Obed, "serving," and he will be cared for by Naomi. Ruth leaves much grain to sustain Naomi. Those who pray that Ruth will have 12 sons point to Obed: he is like 12,000 from the 12 tribes. Those who wonder when the marriage takes place can see that it did so, and a child was soon born.
This is the story of of Christ's grain, His harvest. Once this is seen in fuller detail, it can be seen that Israel is to fulfill the type of Christ's good vine, Isaiah 5:7, producing fully. The grapes of Sodom, the vine of the world is to be the opposite, crushed, literally as shown by the blood flow, up to the harnesses of the horses at Armageddon. The grape harvest is done in the autumn, well after the grain is gathered, processed and made as an offering into bread, the wave loaves, leavened, held up before the Father by the High Priest.
Pentecost is the central among the 7 feasts. The other feasts coming are the autumn feasts and show Israel as the Lord's olive harvest, the pomegranate gathering, the grape gathering. In the olives, crushed, the Jews of the Tribulation are like the oil for the menorah, and will fulfill the promise that Israel will light the world.
Isaiah 60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Isaiah 49:6 I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
