Revelation 14:14-16:1
New International Version
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud,(A) and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man[a](B) with a crown(C) of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Then another angel came out of the temple(D) and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, “Take your sickle(E) and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest(F) of the earth is ripe.” 16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(G) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(H) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(I) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(J) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(K) outside the city,(L) and blood(M) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[b]
Seven Angels With Seven Plagues
15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:(N) seven angels(O) with the seven last plagues(P)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass(Q) glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious(R) over the beast(S) and its image(T) and over the number of its name.(U) They held harps(V) given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant(W) Moses(X) and of the Lamb:(Y)
“Great and marvelous are your deeds,(Z)
Lord God Almighty.(AA)
Just and true are your ways,(AB)
King of the nations.[c]
4 Who will not fear you, Lord,(AC)
and bring glory to your name?(AD)
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,(AE)
for your righteous acts(AF) have been revealed.”[d]
5 After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple(AG)—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law(AH)—and it was opened.(AI) 6 Out of the temple(AJ) came the seven angels with the seven plagues.(AK) They were dressed in clean, shining linen(AL) and wore golden sashes around their chests.(AM) 7 Then one of the four living creatures(AN) gave to the seven angels(AO) seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.(AP) 8 And the temple was filled with smoke(AQ) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple(AR) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple(AS) saying to the seven angels,(AT) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(AU)
