1, 2. (a) Wanem nao olketa disaepol no minim? (b) Wanem kaen harvest nao Jesus storyim?

 OLKETA disaepol no minim taem Jesus sei: “Lukim go olketa planteison hia. Olketa redi nao for harvestim.” Olketa luk lo ples wea Jesus pointim, bat olketa lukim nomoa olketa planteison blo barley wea no redi yet. Maet olketa ting olsem, ‘Wat kaen harvest nao Jesus minim? Samfala month stap yet bifor harvest hem start.’—John 4:35.

² Jesus no story abaotem really wei for harvestim planteison. Bat hem iusim chance hia for teachim olketa disaepol blo hem tufala important leson abaotem wanfala spiritual harvest, for hipimap pipol for kam insaed Christian kongregeson. Wanem nao tufala leson hia? For savve lo ansa, bae iumi storyim diswan.

3. (a) Wanem nao maet mekem Jesus for sei: “Olketa planteison . . . redi nao for harvestim”? (b) Wanem nao Jesus talem for helpem olketa disaepol for minim?

³ Jesus story witim olketa disaepol blo hem lo end blo 30 C.E., klosap lo Sychar, wanfala taon lo Samaria. Taem olketa disaepol go insaed datfala taon, Jesus no go, bat hem sidaon saed lo wanfala well and storyim olketa truth lo wanfala woman. And woman hia kwiktaem for minim olketa important samting wea Jesus teachim. Taem olketa disaepol blo Jesus kam bak, woman hia hariap go bak lo Sychar for talem lo pipol lo ples blo hem olketa nambawan samting wea hem herem. Samting wea hem talem mekem staka lo olketa barava interest, so olketa hariap go lo well for lukim Jesus. Maet lo datfala taem nao Jesus luk go narasaed lo olketa planteison and lukim wanfala grup blo olketa Samaritan wea kakam and hem sei: “Lukim go olketa planteison hia. Olketa redi nao for harvestim.” Then hem helpem olketa for minim, datfala harvest hem no for harvestim kaikai, bat hem wanfala spiritual harvest. Then Jesus sei moa: “Wakaman hem . . . hipimap olketa frut. Olketa frut hia hem olketa wea bae kasem laef olowe.”—John 4:5-30, 36.

4. (a) Wanem tufala leson abaotem spiritual harvest nao Jesus teachim? (b) Olketa wanem kwestin nao bae iumi storyim?

⁴ Wanem tufala important leson abaotem spiritual harvest nao Jesus teachim? First samting, mas hariap for duim waka. Taem hem sei: “Olketa planteison . . . redi nao for harvestim,”  hem encouragem olketa follower blo hem for duim samting. For helpem olketa disaepol luksavve hao olketa mas hariap for duim waka, Jesus sei moa: “Distaem wakaman hem tekem pei.” Tru nao, harvest waka hem start finis, and hem no taem for delay! Mek-tu samting, olketa wakaman olketa hapi. Jesus sei man wea plantim and man wea harvestim, bae “tufala evriwan hapi.” (John 4:35, 36) Olsem Jesus hapi taem hem lukim “plande pipol bilong Samaria . . . biliv long hem,” olketa disaepol blo hem tu bae barava hapi taem olketa waka hard lo harvest waka. (John 4:39-42) Samting wea happen lo first century, hem barava important for iumi, bikos distaem iumi stap lo taem blo bigfala spiritual harvest wea winim enitaem bifor. Wanem taem nao harvest waka lo taem blo iumi hem start? Hu nao olketa wea waka lo datfala harvest? Wanem nao kamaot from diswan?

5. Hu nao leadim harvest waka evriwea lo world, and vision wea John lukim showimaot wanem abaotem datfala harvest waka?

⁵ Lo wanfala vision, aposol John lukim Jehovah hem markem Jesus for leadim harvest waka evriwea lo world. (Readim Revelation 14:14-16.) Lo vision hia, hem showim Jesus hem werem kraon and holem wanfala naef. ‘Gold kraon wea stap long hed bilong [Jesus]’ showimaot hem nao King wea rul. And ‘sharp naef wea hem holem’ showimaot hem nao man for harvest. From Jehovah iusim wanfala angel for talem “planteison bilong earth . . . hem raep finis,” Jehovah mekhae lo wei for mas hariap for duim waka. Tru nao, ‘hem taem nao for harvest.’ Hem no taem for delay! For followim komand blo God for ‘harvest . . . witim naef,’ Jesus iusim naef blo hem and harvestim planteison blo earth, wea minim hem hipimap pipol lo earth for kam insaed lo Christian Kongregeson. Disfala nambawan vision mekem iumi luksavve hao “olketa planteison . . . redi nao for harvestim.” Waswe, disfala vision helpem iumi for luksavve lo taem wea harvest waka evriwea lo world hem start? Ia!

6. (a) Wanem taem nao “taem for harvestim planteison” hem start? (b) Waka for “harvestim planteison long earth” hem start lo wanem taem? Explainim datwan.

⁶ Lo vision wea John lukim lo Revelation chapter 14, hem lukim Jesus, man for harvest hem werem kraon (verse 14), datwan showim Jesus kasem appointment for King finis lo 1914. (Dan. 7:13, 14, NW) Samfala taem bihaen, Jesus kasem komand for start harvest (verse 15). Diswan hem semsem tu witim wanem Jesus talem lo tokpiksa abaotem wheat wea olketa harvestim, hem sei: “Taem wea olketa harvestim planteison hem piksarem taem wea world hem gogo for finis.” So taem blo harvest and taem wea world hem gogo for finis, start lo semtaem wea hem lo 1914. Bat samfala taem bihaen, lo “taem for harvestim planteison” nao harvest waka hem just start. (Matt. 13:30, 39) Taem iumi lukluk go bak, iumi lukim harvest waka hem start samfala year bihaen Jesus hem start for rul olsem king. Firstaem, start  lo 1914 go kasem start lo 1919, Jesus duim waka for klinim olketa anointed follower blo hem. (Malakae 3:1-3; 1 Pet. 4:17) Then lo 1919, waka for “harvestim planteison bilong earth” hem start. Stretawe, Jesus iusim wakaman wea faithful and wise wea hem appointim, for helpem olketa brata luksavve olketa mas hariap for duim preaching waka. Iumi bae storyim wanem happen.

7. (a) Wanem nao mekem olketa brata luksavve olketa mas hariap for duim preaching waka? (b) Olketa brata blo iumi kasem encouragement for duim wanem?

⁷ The Watch Tower lo July 1920, hem sei: “Taem iumi studyim gud Bible, hem barava klia church garem bigfala privilege for talemaot message abaotem Kingdom.” Olsem example, profesi blo Isaiah helpem olketa brata for luksavve olketa mas talemaot gud nius blo Kingdom evriwea lo world. (Aesaea 49:6; 52:7; 61:1-3) Olketa no savve hao nao bae olketa duim datfala waka, bat olketa trustim Jehovah bae mekem wei for olketa. (Readim Aesaea 59:1.) From olketa brata blo iumi luksavve olketa mas hariap for duim preaching waka, olketa kasem encouragement for waka hard moa. Wanem nao olketa brata duim?

8. Lo 1921, wanem tufala samting nao olketa brata blo iumi luksavve lo hem?

⁸ Lo December 1921, The Watch Tower sei: “Lo year 1921, staka pipol nao herem message abaotem Kingdom winim eni nara year wea go pas.” Magasin hia sei moa: “Staka waka stap yet for duim. . . . Iumi gohed waka and hapi for duim.” Olketa brata minim tufala important samting abaotem preaching waka wea Jesus encouragem olketa aposol blo hem for duim: Tufala leson hia nao for mas hariap for duim waka, and olketa wakaman mas hapi.

9. (a) Lo 1954, The Watchtower talem wanem abaotem harvest waka, and why nao olsem? b) Insaed 50 year wea go pas, wanem nao happen lo namba blo olketa pablisa raonem world? (Lukim chart “ Increase lo Full World.”)

⁹ Lo olketa year lo 1930, bihaen olketa brata luksavve wanfala big crowd blo nara sheepsheep bae duim samting followim message abaotem Kingdom, preaching waka kamap big go moa. (Isa. 55:5, NW; John 10:16; Rev. 7:9) Wanem nao kamaot? Lo 1934 namba blo olketa wea preach abaotem Kingdom hem go ap from 41,000 for kasem 500,000 lo 1953! The Watchtower blo December 1, 1954 sei olsem: “Spirit blo Jehovah and toktok  blo hem wea garem paoa nao mekem bigfala waka for harvest wea kamap evriwea lo world.” a—Sekaraea 4:6.

10, 11. Lo tokpiksa abaotem seed blo mustard tree, olketa wanem samting nao Jesus mekhae lo hem?

¹⁰ Lo olketa tokpiksa blo Jesus abaotem Kingdom, hem storyim klia samting wea bae kamaot from harvest waka. Iumi bae storyim tokpiksa abaotem seed blo mustard tree and abaotem yeast. Bae iumi storyim hao olketa tokpiksa hia kamap tru lo taem blo end.

¹¹ Tokpiksa abaotem seed blo mustard tree. Wanfala man plantim seed blo mustard tree. Hem grow and kamap wanfala big tree wea olketa bird savve stap lo hem. (Readim Matthew 13:31, 32.) Olketa wanem samting abaotem datfala seed nao tokpiksa mekhae lo hem? (1) Seed hia bae hem grow big. Seed wea “smol winim evri nara seed” bae kamap wanfala tree wea garem “olketa barava bigfala branch.” (Mark 4:31, 32) (2) Seed hia mas grow. “Bihaen hem plantim [seed], seed hia grow” nao. Jesus no sei, “maet seed hia bae grow,” bat hem sei, “seed hia grow.” No eni samting bae stopem seed hia for grow. (3) Tree hia mekem olketa visitor for kam lo hem and stap lo hem. “Olketa bird savve flae kam” and “stap long shade bilong hem.” Hao nao thrifala samting hia fitim spiritual harvest wea gohed distaem?

12. Hao nao tokpiksa abaotem seed blo mustard tree hem semsem olsem harvest waka distaem? (Lukim chart “ Namba blo Olketa Bible Study Go Ap.”)

¹² (1) Grow big: Tokpiksa hia mekhae lo hao Kingdom message and Christian kongregeson bae kamap big. Start lo 1919, olketa wakaman wea waka strong lo harvest hipap tugeta moa insaed Christian kongregeson. Lo datfala taem nomata no staka wakaman stap, namba blo olketa grow fast. Start lo olketa year blo 1900 kam kasem distaem, olketa barava staka tumas. (Isa. 60:22, NW) (2) Mas grow: No eni samting savve stopem Christian kongregeson for grow. Nomata olketa enemy blo God duim enikaen samting for stopem seed hia, hem gohed for grow. (Aesaea 54:17) (3) Kam stap: “Olketa bird” wea kam stap lo tree hia minim staka million pipol wea stap lo samting olsem 240 kantri, wea acceptim message abaotem Kingdom and olketa kam insaed Christian kongregeson. (Esikiel 17:23) Lo kongregeson olketa kasem spiritual kaikai, kasem strong, and kasem protection.—Aesaea 32:1, 2; 54:13.

13. Tokpiksa abaotem yeast, hem mekhae lo olketa wanem samting?

¹³ Tokpiksa abaotem yeast. Bihaen wanfala woman mixim lelebet yeast lo flour, datfala yeast mekem evri flour hia for rise. (Readim Matthew 13:33.) Olketa wanem samting nao tokpiksa hia mekhae lo hem? Bae iumi storyim tufala samting. (1) Wei for grow mekem olketa change kamap. Datfala yeast “mekem evri flour hia hem rise.” (2) Hem grow evriwea. Datfala yeast mekem full “ten kilo bag flour” for rise. Hao nao tufala samting hia fitim spiritual harvest wea gohed distaem?

14. Hao nao tokpiksa abaotem yeast hem semsem olsem harvest waka distaem?

 ¹⁴ (1) Change: Yeast hem minim message abaotem Kingdom, and flour hem nao pipol. Lo sem wei wea flour hem change taem hem mix witim yeast, pipol mekem change taem olketa herem message abaotem Kingdom, and hem kasem heart blo olketa. (Rome 12:2) (2) Evriwea: Taem yeast hem spred insaed flour hem minim message abaotem Kingdom hem spred evriwea. Isisi datfala yeast hem spred go insaed full flour. Lo sem wei, Kingdom message hem spred “long evri farawe ples long earth.” (Acts 1:8) Disfala tokpiksa showim tu nomata olketa banim waka blo iumi lo samfala kantri, Kingdom message bae hem spred, nomata staka pipol no lukim preaching waka iumi duim.

15. Lo wanem wei nao profesi lo Isaiah 60:5, 22 kamap tru? (Lukim tu  box “ Jehovah Nao Mekem Hem Isi,” and “ ‘Smol Sekson’ wea Kamap ‘Wanfala Maeti Nation.’”)

¹⁵ Samting olsem 800 year bifor Jesus talem olketa tokpiksa hia, Jehovah iusim Isaiah for profesi abaotem bigfala spiritual harvest wea gohed distaem, and bigfala hapi wea olketa wea share lo harvest bae kasem. b Lo profesi hia, Jehovah talem pipol “from farawe ples” bae kam lo organization blo hem. Hem  storyim hemseleva olsem wanfala “woman” wea distaem, hem nao olketa anointed wan wea waka for hem lo earth. Hem sei: “Iu bae lukim and shaen witim hapi, and heart bilong iu bae seksek and fulap witim hapi, bikos olketa richfala samting bilong sea bae kam long iu; olketa gudfala samting bilong nation bae kam long iu.” (Isa. 60:1, 4, 5, 9, NW) Olketa toktok hia kamap tru! Distaem, olketa wea worshipim Jehovah for longtaem finis barava hapi taem olketa lukim smol namba blo pablisa lo kantri blo olketa kamap staka thousand.

16, 17. Wanem nao wanfala reason why man wea plantim planteison and man wea harvest, tufala evriwan hapi? (Lukim tu box “ Tufala Tract Kasem Heart blo Tufala Man lo Amazon.”)

¹⁶ Tingim samting wea Jesus talem lo olketa aposol blo hem: “Wakaman hem . . . hipimap olketa frut. Olketa frut hia hem olketa wea bae kasem laef olowe. So man wea plantim datfala planteison and man wea harvestim datwan, tufala evriwan hapi.” (John 4:36) Hao nao iumi “evriwan hapi” lo disfala harvest waka evriwea lo world? Iumi garem staka samting for hapi abaotem, bat bae iumi storyim thrifala.

¹⁷ First samting, iumi hapi for lukim samting wea Jehovah duim lo disfala waka. Taem iumi preachim message abaotem Kingdom, iumi plantim seed. (Matt. 13:18, 19) Taem iumi helpem samwan for kamap disaepol blo Christ, iumi harvestim frut. And iumi evriwan barava hapi and sapraes from iumi lukim hao Jehovah mekem seed blo Kingdom “start for grow and kamap big.” (Mark 4:27, 28) Samfala seed wea iumi plantim, bihaen nao hem grow and olketa narawan nao harvestim. Maet iu garem sem experience olsem Joan, wanfala sista lo Britain wea baptaes 60 year go finis. Hem sei: “Samfala wea mi meetim olketa talem mi, staka year go finis mi plantim Kingdom seed lo heart blo olketa taem mi preach lo olketa. Mi no savve, bat bihaen, olketa nara Witness nao studyim Bible witim olketa, and helpem olketa for kamap servant blo Jehovah. Mi hapi hao seed wea mi plantim hem grow, and olketa narawan harvestim.”—Readim 1 Corinth 3:6, 7.

18. Wanem reason for hapi nao 1 Corinth 3:8 storyim?

¹⁸ Mek-tu samting, iumi gohed waka and hapi taem iumi tingim wanem aposol Paul talem: “God bae blessim waka bilong man wanwan.” (1 Cor. 3:8) Jehovah blessim waka wea man duim, no samting wea kamaot from waka wea hem duim. Diswan barava strongim olketa wea stap lo olketa ples wea pipol no interest lo gud nius. Lo tingting blo God, evri Witness wea waka hard for plantim seed olketa “garem staka frut” and olketa garem reason for hapi.—John 15:8; Matt. 13:23.

19. (a) Hao nao profesi blo Jesus lo Matthew 24:14, mekem iumi hapi? (b) Wanem nao iumi shud tingim nomata iumi no helpem samwan for kamap disaepol?

¹⁹ Mek-thri samting, iumi hapi bikos waka blo iumi hem mekem profesi kamap tru. Tingim wanem Jesus talem lo olketa disaepol blo hem taem olketa askem hem: “Wanem nao saen wea bae showimaot iu stap and world hem gogo for finis?” Hem  talem olketa, wanfala part blo saen hia hem nao preaching waka bae kamap evriwea lo world. Waswe, hem story abaotem waka for mek disaepol? Nomoa. Hem sei: “Olketa disaepol bilong mi bae talemaot disfala gud nius abaotem Kingdom long evri ples long world.” (Matt. 24:3, 14) So waka for preach abaotem Kingdom, hem olsem iumi plantim seed, wea hem part lo datfala saen. Taem iumi preachim gud nius abaotem Kingdom, hem gud for tingim, nomata iumi no helpem samwan kamap disaepol, iumi duim waka for “talemaot disfala gud nius.” c Hem tru, nomata pipol interest or nomoa, iumi mekem profesi blo Jesus kamap tru and iumi garem privilege for “waka tugeta witim God.” (1 Cor. 3:9) Diswan hem nambawan reason for iumi hapi!

20, 21. (a) Lo wanem wei nao Malachi 1:11 kamap tru? (b) Wanem nao iu disaed strong for duim lo harvest waka, and why nao olsem?

²⁰ Lo first century, Jesus helpem olketa aposol blo hem for luksavve olketa mas hariap for duim harvest waka. From 1919, Jesus gohed helpem olketa disaepol blo hem distaem for garem sem tingting abaotem harvest waka. From diswan, pipol blo God duim staka samting moa lo waka blo olketa for preach. Tru nao, no eniwan savve stopem disfala harvest waka. Olsem profet Malachi talem, olketa bae duim preaching waka start “from ples wea sun kamap, go kasem ples wea sun go daon.” (Mal. 1:11, NW) Tru nao, from east go kasem west, nomata wea nao olketa stap lo earth, olketa wea plantim and olketa wea harvestim evriwan hapi. And start lo morning go kasem evening, or for full day iumi hariap for duim waka.

²¹ Taem iumi ting bak lo winim 100 year wea go pas, and iumi lukim smol grup lo olketa servant blo God “kamap wanfala maeti nation,” heart blo iumi “seksek and fulap witim hapi.” (Isa. 60:5, 22, NW) Letem wei wea iumi hapi and love blo iumi for Jehovah, “man wea ownim planteison,” muvim iumi wanwan for duim part blo iumi for finisim bigfala harvest waka wea gohed lo taem blo iumi!—Luke 10:2.
