Summary of Revelation 14:14-20
John saw someone like Jesus seated on a white cloud with a crown of gold and a sharp sickle. An angel told him to start reaping as the time had come. He harvested the earth.
Another angel with a sickle was told to gather the grapes from the earth’s vine because the grapes were ripe. He threw the grapes into the winepress of God’s wrath. The grapes were trampled, and blood flowed out of the press.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 19, Day 5: Revelation 14:14-20
“I looked” is another section.
Bible scholars believe that even though the person is called “one like the Son of Man” that this is indeed Jesus gathering in the harvest.
The idea here is that the people are over-ripe for harvesting, meaning their judgment is overdue.
The imagery here represents the Second Coming of Jesus as we see in Matthew 13:24-30 and 13:36-43
This is the separation of true believers from nonbelievers.
The grape juice from being pressed here is compared to the blood at the final battle of those who are against God.
This is a picture of the carnage that will occur when the battle of Armageddon happens.
