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 14:19

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth - That is, into that part of the earth which might be represented by a vineyard; or the earth considered as having been the abode of wicked men.

And cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God - See Isaiah 63:1-6. That is, the wine-press where the grapes are crushed, and where the juice, resembling blood, flows out, may be used as a symbol to denote the destruction of the wicked in the last day; and as the numbers will be immensely great, it is called the "great wine-press of divine wrath." The symbol appears to be used here alike with reference to the color of the wine resembling blood, and the pressure necessary to force it out; and thus employed it is one of the most striking emblems conceivable to denote the final destruction of the wicked.
