Reaping the Earth’s Harvest

¹⁴ Then I looked, and behold, a ^(A)white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was one ^(B)like ^[a]a son of man, having a golden ^(C)crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand. ¹⁵ And another angel ^(D)came out of the sanctuary, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sits on the cloud, “^[b](E)Put in Your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the ^(F)harvest of the earth ^[c]is ripe.” ¹⁶ Then He who sits on the cloud ^[d]swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

¹⁷ And another angel ^(G)came out of the sanctuary which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ Then another angel, ^(H)the one who has authority over fire, came out from ^(I)the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “^[e](J)Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters ^[f]from the vine of the earth, ^(K)because her grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel ^[g]swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into ^(L)the great wine press of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And ^(M)the wine press was trodden ^(N)outside the city, and ^(O)blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, ^[h]for a distance of ^[i]1,600 stadia.
