Revelation 14:15
Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, "Send your sickle and reap; for the hour to reap has come; for the harvest of the earth is ripe!"
Interpretation
Revelation 14:15 shows a harvest ripe that takes shape in meals and meetings—listen for "reap" and "another". Practice harvest ripe in what we celebrate and refuse—shape generosity without notice. Apocalyptic Vision connects here: Symbolic visions portray God’s ultimate victory and faithful endurance amidst suffering.
Context
In Revelation (Apocalyptic), highlighting harvest ripe. Within ch. 14, a small unit frames the emphasis. It edges toward apocalyptic vision. Watch the terms “reap” and “another”.
