The Penny

By: Jo Smith. >>>> September 28, 2022

Matthew 20

20 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

This chapter is the only time a penny is mentioned in Scripture, except for when he spoke of the penny with Caesar’s inscription on it.  Then the one other time is Revelation 6.6.

So this chapter, Matthew 20 HAS to be the true interpretation of Rev 6.6.

So what is going on in Matthew 20?  It is Jesus hiring people to go work in HIS vineyard.  What was the ‘pay’ for doing a day’s work in HIS vineyard?  A Penny, of course.  There you have it;  the true interpretation of Rev 6.6.

How simple is that?  Yet the world has missed it and call it everything but what it really is.  Famine?  How so?  Famine for natural food?  How so?

The Word of God must be interpreted as SPIRITUAL.  So, spiritually, what is the WHEAT? 

Gather the WHEAT into my barn.  I will pay you a penny for a day’s work in my vineyard.

 Matthew 20:9

And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

 Matthew 20:10

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

He paid those who had only worked an hour the same as those who had worked all day.  They were upset thinking they should have received more.  But he said,

Matthew 20:13

But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

Revelation 6:6

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Don’t you see that Rev 6.6 is the same as Mat 20?  Sure it is. 

 Now for the wheat:

Matthew 3:12

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Now here is the PROOF that this is the true interpretation of Rev 6.6

Matthew 13:30

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Don’t you see that he is paying the REAPERS, or those he hired to work in his vineyard, for their day’s work of bringing his wheat into his barn?  Or kingdom?

37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;

38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

Jesus sowed the SEED for the WHEAT.  The Good Seed are the CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM.

The harvest is the end of the world.  The reapers are the angels.

The first world or law, ended during the Days of Acts.  They gathered the OT WHEAT into Jesus’ barn and he paid them that Penny. 

At the end of the grace age, there will be another harvest of WHEAT and we will be paid that PENNY who have worked in His vineyard.

Hurt not the oil and the wine.  How many churches/ preachers, are guilty of hurting that oil and wine?  Holy Ghost baptism.

So see, this proves that Jesus is the Rider on that black horse.  He ended that old growing season with this harvest, in which he paid the workers a penny to gather his wheat into his barn;  and to see that they are also filled with that oil and wine, or Holy Ghost Baptism.
