The Harvest of the Earth

¹⁴ Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one ^(A)like a son of man, ^(B)with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another angel ^(C)came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, ^(D)“Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for ^(E)the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” ¹⁶ So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across 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 And another angel came out from the altar, ^(F)the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, ^(G)for its grapes are ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great ^(H)winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And ^(I)the winepress was trodden ^(J)outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress, as high as ^(K)a horse's bridle, for 1,600 stadia.^[a]
