“After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.”
Luke 10:1-2 KJV
After this, the Lord Jesus formed thirty-five teams among the other disciples. Each team was two disciples, seventy in all, and he commissioned them to go ahead of him into every town he was about to visit. He released them with these instructions: “The harvest is huge. But there are not enough harvesters to bring it in. As you go, plead with the Owner of the Harvest to send out many more workers into His harvest fields.” Seventy is a numerical relating to the governance of God’s Kingdom. Jesus sent seventy apostles to preach the message of the Kingdom of God. As they preach the Gospel driving out demons, the Lord of the Harvest, the Holy Spirit, casts them out. He prepares the people be receptive to receive the Lord Jesus Christ in their hearts. That’s how the Kingdom of God has advanced over centuries, generations and to the ends of the earth. Every nation and people group have heard the Gospel, therefore the coming of the Lord Jesus is very near. Let’s be prepared. Amen!
