Revelation 14:14-18
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Reaping of Mankind
14 And I saw and behold— there was a white cloud, and one sitting on the cloud resembling a son[a] of man, having a golden crown[b] upon his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying-out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap came, because the harvest of the earth was dried-up[c]”. 16 And the one sitting on the cloud cast his sickle over[d] the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17 And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 18 And another angel came-out from the altar— the one having[e] authority over the fire. And he called-out with a loud voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes became ripe”.
