THE HARVEST OF THE EARTH

Revelation 14:14-19

I looked, and there before me was a White Cloud,

And seated on the cloud was one 'like the son of man' [Christ Jesus]

With a Crown of Gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

Then another angel came out of the Temple and called in a loud voice

To him who was sitting on the cloud, 'Take your sickle and reap,

Because the time to reap has come, for the Harvest of the earth is Ripe.'

So he that was seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth,

And the earth was Harvested.

Here, we have the Final Harvest of those who are destined for Heaven.

The saints who die for Christ in The Great Tribulation

And those who are destined for The Lake of Fire.

Another angel came out of the Temple in Heaven,

And he too had a sharp sickle.

Still another angel, who had charge of the Fire, came from the Altar

And called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle.

'Take Your sharp sickle

And gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine,

Because its Grapes are Ripe.'

The angel swung his sickle on the earth,

Gathered its grapes and threw them into the Great Winepress of God's Wrath.

They were trampled in the Winepress outside the city,

And the blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses' bridles

For a distance of 1,600 stadia (about 180 miles).

Here, we are given a view of the what happens at The Battle of Armageddon.

The armies of the world are slaughtered

As grapes in a winepress would be crushed.

The blood of the men and women in the armies

Flows out of the area of the battle,

As high as a horses bridle, for 180 miles.

As we witness the Arrogance of godless today

We must remember their destination.

This Book of God is an open Book—open to everyone.

God Almighty has made plain His Gospel through His Son, Christ Jesus.

This is his earth as is all of Creation.

VERY SOON, Christ Jesus will return to reclaim it

For His Kingdom, FOREVER, As scripture has foretold.

The kingdom of this world, Satan's kingdom,

Will be the Kingdom of our Lord and He will Reign FOREVER!

(Revelation 11:15)

We who believe are no different than Noah

Who in Holy Fear built the Ark as God had instructed him [Hebrews 11:7].

God had told Noah He was going to flood the earth

And that all would die who were not in the Ark.

Today, Christ Jesus has told us that we MUST abide IN HIM, in the Vine.

Otherwise we will be useless branches thrown into the Fire [John 15].

He has told us the End is coming soon and that we must be ready.

'Therefore keep watch

Because you do not know when the Owner of the house will come back--

Whether in the evening, or at midnight,

Or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.

If He comes SUDDENLY,

DO NOT LET HIM FIND YOU SLEEPING.

What I say to you, I say to EVERYONE: WATCH!' (Mark 13:35-37)

'Therefore KEEP WATCH,

Because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

But understand this:

If the owner of the house had known

At what time of night the thief was coming,

He would have KEPT WATCH

And would not have let his house be broken into.

SO YOU ALSO MUST BE READY,

Because the Son of Man will come at an hour

When you do not expect Him. (Matthew 24:42-44)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in its present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
