Revelation 14:18

And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.”

·        “What strength have grapes against the weight and power of a man when he comes to set his feet upon them? And the riper they are, the more helpless . . . The heel of Omnipotence is upon them, and they can only break and sink beneath it.” (Seiss)

 Joel 3:13  Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.  Come, go down; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow – for their wickedness is great.”

Isaiah 13:15  Everyone who is found will be thrust through, and everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
