Revelation 14; Verses 17-20; The Great Winepress of the Wrath of God; The Spiritual Purging

Thank you for taking a look †

Still Christs' coming and preparing for the Millennium here.

(Revelation 14:17-20) 17And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

(The Earth was just separated with that first sickle. Separating the rudiments, and that which is good. The angel with fire will be that one (commanded) who burns up the Earth's rudiments. Cross reference: II Peter 3:10. Now we have a fresh and fully sharpened sickle).

18And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire (refine); and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

That vine is of course the bad vine--Satan's vine (references further below). They have not drank the blood of Christ. Remember Satan cuts of Holy Communion when he is here claiming to be Christ. They have not; taken in, consume, and digest the blood of the cross (drink His blood, nailing their sin to the cross). Going to the cross in heart and mind, and walking with it there-forth--growing as a Christian. Everyone falls short, but Christians do not live in sin. If they temporarily fall they are going to pay (chastisement) for going back into the world and messing around.

Now of course, you don't gather grapes with a sickle. But, grain, crops, WHEAT! This is going to hurt. Just as The Lord sends the arrows (they have no shield/no faith) on them for rejecting faith, and the sword (the first equipment in the Gospel Armor) Cutting them to pieces.

Now the pressing for the blood they rejected. The pressing in is exactly what the Holy Spirit should of done. But they rejected that.So they are going to pay now themselves for what they rejected. Salvation beginning at the cross. Christ paid HIS life and the heaviest of prices for it in ransom to whosoever will believe (respond).

The very root/etymology of the word of Christos (anointed one) is to rub in cleansing with olive oil. The Holy Spirit is that oil that keeps our lamps burning.

19And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

(Now the whole vine, the root of the problem. For the spiritual purging as this is not physical flesh, but physically spiritual indeed and is going not going to feel good, as it is forced as well. No evil heading into the Millennium off the bat and no satanic influence as satan is "locked" for the Millennium). 

20And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

600 furlongs = that's about 180 miles of gathering of people (the same number as them hailstones and them will be physical, not spiritual). This is such a mess that the white horses Christ rides in on it gets on them. Without the city? This is outside of Jerusalem, at Megiddo. The place of crowds, this is their gathering.

The wine press is continually pressed and the juice (blood) flows down to the bottom. So did Christ' on the cross in His bloodbath He took on the cross. They need to have some respect and manners. So they will as every knee will bow acknowledging soon after this. But that does not mean they will all make it. Every knee bows on the first day of the Millennium. They have a 1,000 years of "boot camp" to go through i.e. leaning discipline.

(Our gathering? Back to Christ. Believers are not affected by this. Gathered to Christ, passover, all happen instantaneously and simultaneously).

Pretty amazing as those who believed in the true Passover lamb are passed over once again at God's wrath. Because they did not take the mark of the beast in their minds. Meaning, being convinced satan is Christ/God then worshiping him as such.

References:

(Deuteronomy 32:32-36) 32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (Satan is the dragon of course. This is why the song of Moses is for this generation and we are to learn it. This is why those who endure till the end, and overcome satan and the world--the one world system i.e. new world order will be singing it (Revelation 15:2-4. The venom of asps the kenites who spew the Christ-hating doctrine. The off spring of the serpent per Genesis 3:15 and Matthew 13 for starters).

34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?(The seals. The same as in Daniel 12:4 and 12:9. Sealed up until the time of the end).

35To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

36For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left."(Because of the one world system).

(John 15:1-6) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."

(There is that fire, the fire that will cleanse when Christ comes back through the Holy Spirit. So they can do the purging willingly or be forced upon them, and they pay for their sins themselves. Not on the cross, but in God's wrath. They made that choice).

(Deuteronomy 32:23-24) "I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them."


We'll conclude this study right here.

Amen †
