Sifting Grain
This image illustrates the final stage of grain processing before storage. A female laborer sifts grain with a large sieve. The clean grain drops through the sieve while the remaining plant fragments, pebbles, and other debris get caught in the mesh. The clean grain is then gathered up and stored. Jesus predicted that Satan would trouble and test his disciples so rigorously that it would be as if he were shaking and sorting them like a person sifts grain (Luke 22:31).
Isa 30:28, Amos 9:9, Luke 22:31
