There’s a very common misconception about this verse:
Joh 4:35 KJV 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.
Did you know the wheat of the first century turns black as it ripens?
Did you also know that white stalks of ripe barley will no longer have seeds heads attached? They would have long ago shattered and dropped their seeds to the earth.
So, what and how is a grain crop ‘white unto harvest’?
When the barley first exits the body of the plant its lacking a bit of chlorophyll. It comes out a very very light lime green.
Why is this color important? In the middle east, linen was widely worn being warm in the rainy season and bring cool in the dry season. Linen is made from a green plant. Natural linen has a green tinge to the color of the fabric. Every time the linen is washed it becomes lighter but also keeps a slightly green tinge.
To this day, the Samaritan priests still wear linen tunics.
In the photo below, is a new head of barley before it has obtained photosynthesis. And photo of new natural raw linen threads.
White unto harvest are plants that have everything to bring forth fruit but does not yet contain a grain/ a harvest.
The Samaritan still only acknowledge the books of Moses and reject the knowledge of Yeshua Messiah.
