The angel having a sharp sickle to gather the vine of the earth

Revelation 14: 14-20

And I looked, and behold, a white cloud , and upon the cloud one sat like a Son of man. He had on his head a golden garland and in his hand a sharp sickle.

And the winepress was trodden, outside before the city. And there, blood streamed out of the winepress unto the horsebridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

And another angel came forward from the temple and cried with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud: Thrust in your sickle, and reap ; for the time is come to reap, for the harvest of the world already starts to wither! And he that sat on the cloud, thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

And the angle thrust in his sickle on the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the divine will power, the great.

And another angel came forward from the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came forward from the altar, which had power of fire. And he cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying: Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the grapes of the vine of the earth. For the grapes are fully ripe.
