Mk 4:29b ... "immediately he sends out the sickle that has stood by the harvest."

The 2nd phrase has these 8 dialog words, ... euthus apostellei to drepanon hoti parestēken ho therismos ("immediately he sends out the sickle that has stood by the harvest").

The word "euthus" (immediately) is the cue to use the previous diagram as a template. The 4 words are top down from the rhombus holding mankind and the hands of Jesus to the sickle passing through the fruit intersecting at a common point of tangency. The 4 words "euthus apostellei to drepanon" are tangent to Jesus, the rhombus holding the man, the two "fruits." The diagram that showed the man's arms offering up "the fruit of the earth" in the previous diagram are now holding the sickles to harvest it. The next diagram will show Jesus will say the words to send out the sickle whenever man offers himself to be harvested. The fruit is the harvest of the earth and mankind is the harvest of the Kingdom of God.
