And the floors shall be full of wheat, etc.] The churches of Christ, which will now be in Judea, and in the Gentile world, which are his “floors”, (<400312>Matthew 3:12); and which will be set up everywhere through the preaching of the Gospel, the descent of the former and latter rain; these will be full of precious souls gathered in, compared to wheat, and of the choice and excellent, doctrines of the Gospel, and of all spiritual provisions, (<401330>Matthew 13:30 <242328>Jeremiah 23:28); and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil; with the wine of Gospel doctrine, and the oil of true grace; there shall be a flow, an overflow, a redundancy of these, both in the ministers of the word and private Christians, in whom the grace of God shall abound and superabound; (see <450520> Romans 5:20 <540114>1 Timothy 1:14).
