harvest
Therismos denotes the time or condition of crops ready for cutting, and in some sayings frames a plentiful field needing workers.
The term most often names the crop-reaping scene or its appointed time: fields are ready, fruit prompts use of the sickle, and grain is gathered. In sayings about plentiful fields it also frames the need for workers, while Matthew 13:39 explicitly identifies the harvest with “the consummation of the age.”
