“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.”
'Do you not say, "It is still four months until harvest"? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. — Jesus shifts from individual conversion (the woman) to the larger harvest. The grain fields metaphor is eschatological: the whitened grain represents readiness for judgment and redemption. The shift from seasonal time ('four months') to kairos (God's time) suggests that the harvest is spiritually present.
