0691. The Angels Will Reap the Whitened Harvest of the Earth
The Angels Will Reap the Whitened Harvest of the Earth
"And another angel came out of the Temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe" (Rev_14:15).
This is the final scene of tribulation days. The end has almost come. Man’s day is about to end. All that is proud and lifted up shall be brought low. Man has had his opportunity. Everything that he could do, has been done. The harvest of his achievements is ripe. Man has reached the climax of his attempts. Science and art, cult and culture have topped the apex of man’s building. All is about to fall. Man’s harvest is ripe. Man is weighed in the balances. Over his head is written, "found wanting."
The angels are sent with sharpened sickle, to reap the whitened harvest of sin and unbelief, of man’s satan-energized works. Dire judgments ensue, the whole earth is moved too and fro as a drunken man; it is shaken as the fig tree is shaken in the winds. All joy is darkened and the mirth of the land is gone; the great men of the earth, the kings and the princes and the chief captains are crying aloud; their merchants behold the loss of their merchandise, the shipmasters of their ships: in one day hath God judged, and meted out justice upon the earth.
The angels will gather in the chaff and burn it.
