The Harvest of the Earth

And I looked and saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud [was One] like [the] Son of Man,[fn] with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.

15 

Then another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the [One] seated on the cloud,“Swing Your sickle and reap, because the time has come to harvest, for the crop of the earth is ripe.” 16 [So] the [One] seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 

Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he [too] had a sharp sickle. 18 [Still] another angel, with authority over the fire, came from the altar and called out with a loud cry[fn] to the [angel] with the sharp sickle“Swing your sharp sickle and gather the clusters [of grapes] from the vine of the earth, because its grapes are ripe.”

19 

[So] the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the [grapes] of the earth, and he threw [them] into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and [the] blood [that] flowed from vvv [it] [rose] as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of 1,600 {} stadia.[fn] 15
