NASB | Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to Him who was sitting upon the cloud, "Put in Your sickle and reap [at once], for the hour to reap [in judgment] has arrived, because the earth's harvest is fully ripened." [Joel 3:13] |
Bible Question:
In thinking about the Deity of Christ, the Son of Man, what can we say about this One who sat on the cloud? Was He just one of the angels or is He the One who puts forth His sickle to reap? A companion passage is Matthew 13:36-42. From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Ray, "The reaping of the harvest symbolizes the gathering of the elect in the final judgment, while the reaping and treading of the grapes symbolizes the doom of the ungodly (cf Joel 3:12-13; Isaiah 63:1-6) that will come in Rev 19:11-21." Footnote from the NAB Bible on Rev 14:14-20. See also the similar description of Christ in other places as one "looking like the Son of Man", especially Rev 1:7 and Daniel 7:13 and Acts 7:56.
