12.23.2015 New Testament: Rev 14.17–20

To read the Bible in a year, read Revelation 14 on December 23, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

After the Lord sent an angel to harvest His people from the Earth, He sent another angel, who harvested others for the wrath of God,

Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 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.” So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs (Revelation 14.17–20). 

Many people joke about God’s wrath as though it is not real, and others want no mention of it, as though that makes God’s wrath disappear.

His wrath is real, and you can read of it throughout His word, and you can see it in various places of the Earth, such as with the kingdoms that no longer exist, or even the great time when He destroyed the Earth with a massive flood, and now we have the sedimentary layers all over the Earth.
