Revelation 14 — Context

14

Then I looked, and a white cloud appeared, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man! He had a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

15

Then another angel came out of the temple, shouting in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud,“Use your sickle and start to reap, because the time to reap has come, since the earth’s harvest is ripe!”

16

So the one seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17

Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.

18

Another angel, who was in charge of the fire, came from the altar and called in a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp sickle,“Use your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of grapes off the vine of the earth, because its grapes are now ripe.”

19

So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes from the vineyard of the earth and tossed them into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20

Then the winepress was stomped outside the city, and blood poured out of the winepress up to the height of horses’ bridles for a distance of almost two hundred miles.
