Revelation 14:14 – 15:8. The Harvest at the end of the world and preparing the plagues.
Seeing the Revelation should enable us to look at the earth in a very different light. Julia Ward Howe’s amazingly awful prophetic hymn My eyes have seen the light of the coming of the Lord, he is trampling… is based on this passage. John, like her, sees the harvesting at the end of the world and the plagues of judgement – like the ancient plagues of Egypt. Two angels are seen: one uses a sickle for the “general harvest” and another who uses a sickle to harvest the symbolic grapes which are thrown into God’s winepress. Jane sought to show that Jesus our substitute, who took Gods wrath instead of us, endured the press of Gethsemane and was crucified outside the city wall for us. As the plagues are prepared an amazing choir is heard to sing The Song of Moses and the Lamb which declares that God acts justly and so is to be honoured.
