,, And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.”
Rev. 14: 14-20
"And I saw, and behold a white cloud, and he sat upon the cloud as the Son of man, and had on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle."
We have seen so far that John saw the beginning of glory in Zion, an angel preaching the eternal gospel and two other angels announcing the fate of "Babylon" and followers of the Antichrist, and now John sees the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the first chapter of Revelation, John saw a vision of the risen Christ as a judge in the midst of the Church.
,, And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;”
Rev. 1: 13-14
and now he sees Jesus Christ in Divine power and holiness, "and behold, the cloud was white, and he sat on the cloud as the Son of man."
There is a cloud of glory that does not depart from Jesus from eternity to eternity because He is God and He appeared to the Israelites in the cloud of glory and when the cloud of glory was present it meant that the Lord was present and when the cloud receded the glory receded.
,, And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.”
Exodus.40: 33-38
,, Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub, [and stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory.”
Ezekiel 10: 3-4
“In a pillar of cloud he spoke to them; and they kept his commandments, and the statutes which he commanded them.
Ps.99: 7
,, It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the Lord, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a cloud, [even] the house of the Lord; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.”
2 Cronic.5: 13-14
We cannot see this glory today, but when Jesus comes, it will be visible and Jesus will be present in the cloud of glory. This vision was seen by the prophet Daniel.
,, I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed.”
Daniel 7: 13-14
and the Lord Jesus said:
,, And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Mt.24: 30
"And he had a golden crown on his head." is shown here with the ruling royal crown although He does not have only one crown because he writes:
,, His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; …”
Rev. 19:12
"and in his hand a sharp sickle." The sickle is used for the harvest and here Jesus appears for the first time with the sickle in his hand which means that the time for the harvest is there and the harvest is supervised personally by the Lord Jesus centuries will not perish nor will they be lost, but everything will be stored in the granary.
,, Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 3:12
And we used to say that the angels warn that the judgment will begin soon, and now we see that the sickle is ready and that the judgment can practically begin, and for that "harvest" the Lord Jesus said:
,, As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 13: 40-42
"And another angel came out of the church, and cried with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap; for the time is come for thee to reap; for the grain of the earth is dried up." from God the Father, shouting with a loud voice to him who sits on the cloud: Swing your sickle and reap, because the time has come to reap, because the grain of the earth is dried up.
according to God's plan, now is the time to reap the harvest and there is no more delay, because the earth's grain is dried up. " they said that not a single "grain" would perish, let alone the whole harvest.
,, Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 3:12
Since the angel preached the eternal gospel, we now have a family, and Jesus Christ is now a mature family.
"And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle into the earth, and the earth was reaped." Now the earth is "reaped" and now the faithful will finally be separated from the unbelievers as wheat is separated from the tares at harvest. Jesus said:
,, And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
Mark.13: 27
"And another angel came out of the church which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp reaper." The wheat was reaped and this "work" was supervised by the Lord Jesus, and now it remains to reap the tares, and we see that it is for that. the work "left to the angels. And this angel came from the heavenly sanctuary and now instead of Jesus the angel has a" sharp kosier ". Kosier is similar to a sickle weeds or plants that are not too thick and can be dug on the ground to pull out or pull out the root. Here, the kosier is actually a symbol of God's wrath because sin became very ingrained on earth in the time of the Antichrist, and this kosier will eradicate all the veins of sin on earth.
"And another angel came out of the altar, which had a place over the fire, and cried with a great shout to him who had a sharp reaper, saying: Swing with your sharp sickle, and cut off the grapes of the vineyard of the earth; for his grain is ripe.
In the sixth chapter we read the following:
,, And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.”
Rev. 6: 9-11
And now this "little time" is over and "the angel came out of the altar, which had the area over the fire" and shouted to the angel with the kosier to throw the kosier on the ground, the kosier of God's fire that always burns against sin and those sinners who did not repented.
,, and cut the grapes of the vineyard of the earth; for their grains are ripe. "The Lord Jesus said that the last days would be like Sodom and Gomorrah before destruction.
.. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.”
Luke 17: 27-30
This earthly vineyard is not God's, but the Antichrist's, it is the vineyard of Sodom, it is the false religion of the false trinity that we talked about.
,, For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter: Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.”
Deuteronomy 32: 32-33
That vineyard will be sour and poisonous and will "stun" many, and the text tells us what happened when the angel from the altar cried out and commanded:
"And he cast down his angel upon the earth, and ground the vineyard of the earth, and cast it into the barrel of the wrath of God.
The vineyard of the earth has matured, but in sin, lawlessness, acidity and poison, and that is why now comes the judgment in the form of a reaper who will gather "sour and poisonous grapes" in the "tub of the great wrath of God." and it should be the valley of Megiddo in Israel, for which it is written in the prophet Joel:
,, Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness [is] great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord [is] near in the valley of decision.”
Joel 3: 9-14
When the grapes are put in the tub, they are either trampled or crushed to make juice, and in the book of the prophet Zechariah it is written where the nations will gather for battle:
,, For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; ..."
Zechariah 14: 2
It still says, "And the islands are pitched out of the city," which means that the "grapes" have been trampled and it will be "out of the city," meaning Jerusalem.
So here is the final result:
"And there was a barrel outside the city, and blood came out of the barrel, even to the bridle of the horses, a thousand and six hundred races." "We continue to read that there will be blood on the horses to the bridle, which is unbelievable, but a huge army will come to Jerusalem ready for battle, and we have already said in the ninth chapter that two hundred million soldiers will come from the east.
,, And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.”
Rev. 9:16
and that's certainly not all because we just read that it says:
,, For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; ..."
Zechariah 14: 2
so there will be many more soldiers and many "people" and rivers of human blood will flow from there, and that is terrible, but there is something even more terrible, and that is to spend eternity in hell.
We see today that "the fields are ready for the harvest," and the Lord Jesus warns us in time:
,, Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
John 4:35
And if we see this, we should turn to the true God and believe in Jesus Christ, because judgment or "harvest" is sure to come, and we should ask ourselves whether we are wheat or weeds, and we should reconsider that we are not intoxicated by "earthly grapes and wine."
