REV 14: 14And I looked and saw a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was One like the Son of Adam, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 15Then another Angel came out of the temple and called out to the One who was sitting on the cloud, “TAKE YOUR SICKLE AND GATHER FROM THE EARTH. THE TIME TO HARVEST HAS COME, AND THE FRUIT ON THE EARTH IS RIPE.” 16So the One who was sitting on the cloud (YAHUSHA) swung His sickle over the whole earth. And the earth was harvested.
19The Angel swung his sickle over the earth, gathering the earth’s grapes, and he threw them into the great winepress of Yahusha's wrath.
17Then another Angel came out of the Temple in Heaven carrying a sharp sickle. 18And then another Angel, one with power over fire, came from the Altar, calling to the Angel with the sharp sickle, saying,
“Take your sharp sickle and gather the bunches of grapes from the earth’s vine. The earth’s grapes are ripe.”
(BEARING AN ABUNDANCE OF FRUIT)
20The grapes were squeezed in this winepress outside the city, where blood flowed from it, rising as high as the horses' heads for 300km.

GENESIS 8:22 "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will not cease".
EXODUS 34:21 "Six days you do work, but on the seventh day you will rest: in earing time and in harvest time you will still rest".
PROVERBS 10:5 + 20:4 The wise son gathers and saves during the harvest, but the son who sleeps and does nothing during the harvest causes great shame ... he is a sluggard, not wanting to plow, saying 'it's too cold' ... so he will end up begging during the harvest".
JOEL 3:13 "Thrash the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread the grapes, for the winepress is full, and the barrels will be full and spilling over, because their evil is great".
MATT 9:37 "Yahusha said, 'The harvest is truly plentiful, but the workers are few, so pray to the Master of the harvest, that He will send more workers into the field'".
MARK 13:21 "But you, watch out! I've told you everything in advance! In those days, after that trouble, the sun will grow dark, the moon will stop shining, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers in Heaven will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Adam coming in clouds with tremendous power and esteem. He will send out His Angels and gather together his chosen people from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of Heaven".
MATTHEW 13:24 "Yahusha put before them another parable. 'The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed poisonous darnel among the wheat, then went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads of grain, the darnel weeds also appeared. The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where have the darnel come from?' He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants asked him, 'Then do you want us to go and pull them up?' But he said, 'No, because if you pull up the darnel, you might uproot some of the good wheat at the same time. Let them both grow together until the harvest; and at harvest-time I will tell the reapers to collect the darnel first and tie them in bundles to be burned, but to gather the wheat into my barn.'"
SO HERE IN THIS VISION, JOHN SEES YAHUSHA'S HARVEST, WHERE THE EARTH IS FULL OF WHEAT AND WEEDS THAT HAVE GROWN UP TOGETHER.... AND AS WITH THIS PARABLE THERE WILL BE TWO HARVESTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE GOOD WHEAT WILL BE HARVESTED, SEPARATED OUT AND PLACED INTO YAHUSHA'S OWN BARN, WHILE THE WEEDS (GRAPES) WILL ALSO BE HARVESTED, BUT THEY WILL BE GATHERED INTO BUNDLES AND DESTROYED.... BURNED UP. IT SEEMS SELF-EVIDENT THAT THE HARVEST PERFORMED BY YAHUSHA IS OF HIS OWN.... BRIDAL FELLOWSHIP... WHILE THE HARVEST OF THE ANGELS IS OF THE WICKED.... THAT IS TO BE BURNED UP... THE DARNEL.
JUST AS THE SCAPE-GOAT WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE THE CAMP AND YAHUSHA'S BLOOD WAS SHED OUTSIDE OF YERUSHALIM, THIS HUGE BLOOD-BATH WILL HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE CITY ALSO ... OUTSIDE AND AWAY FROM THE PROTECTION OF YAHUSHA'S REIGN.
Yahusha is already in the process of gathering and separating his Bride from the 'four-corners' of the world. It's a time of great rejoicing for the wheat and sorrow for the darnel. Each time Yahusha swings His mighty sickle upon the earth, another severing and separation occurs, drawing His beloved closer to Him and removing obstacles and problems and people and situations that weight them down from serving in His light as Kings and Priests ... the removal of discord, to allow harmony to reign and shine!
