Revelation 14:16

Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.

15 And another angel ^acame out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ^b“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come¹ for You to reap, for the harvest ^cof the earth is ripe.”

16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

17 Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18 And another angel came out from the altar, ^awho had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, ^b“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.”

19 So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into ^athe great winepress of the wrath of God.

20 And ^athe winepress was trampled ^boutside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, ^cup to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred¹ furlongs.

Revelation 14:17 >>

Revelation 14:15 Thrust in thy sickle, and reap. There is gathered first the ripened harvest of the elect of God. It is an angel that came out of the temple of God as a messenger of God, carrying to the Son the Father's command to gather the elect from the four corners of the earth. Then a longing, waiting Church, "loving the appearing of the Son of man" (II Timothy 4:8), shall first be gathered into the heavenly garner. The ripe sheaves are gathered.
