The Harvest of Judgment
There are three things one cannot
Escape, taxes, death and judgment.
Daniel 7:13,14 depicts judgment
So John uses the same picture.
Judgment is crafted in terms of
Harvesting. The sickle symbolizes
Divine judgment. The sickle reaps
The clusters of the ripe grape harvest.
The angel swung his sickle on the earth,
gathered it’s grapes and threw them
into the great winepress of God’s wrath,
and He trampled them in His fury .
The blood flowed out of the press,
rising as high as the horses’ bridle
For a distance of two hundred miles.
Terrible, but it describes full judgment.
Truth is spoken, but do not take literally.
The risen Christ collects his own for
Glory, and the avenging angel collects
The wicked for judgment.
