Today you should read: Revelation 14:14-20
This is as good a time as any to have everyone listen to one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs on the book of Revelation; the legend himself reading and singing John’s prophecies of when the Man comes around.
In the 7 verses we read today, we see that Man doing that very thing. As the ESV Study Bible points out in the commentary to this passage, Jesus came first as a Gospel sower (Matt. 13:37) but He is now returning as a reaper as you see the illustration of a Christ as the final harvester reaping His good fruit and trampling on the bad grapes. Revelation is known for it’s final judgment which we can be sure of, even in the illustration of the harvest in these verses. Every person will be judged for what they did with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. There’s no middle ground regarding this judgment. As grey as life on this earth can be, there will be no purgatory. There is nothing else outside of heaven and hell, with Jesus Christ being the mediator from one to the other, but Jesus is the one who sends you to either one.

v20b) blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse’s bridle.
Scientists estimate the volume of blood in a human body to be approximately 7 percent of body weight. An average adult body with a weight of 150 to 180 pounds will contain approximately 1.2 to 1.5 gallons of blood.
It’s staggering to think about how many people will be eternally separated from God in the final judgment. This gives me a renewed sense of urgency to share the gospel with friends and family who haven’t accepted Jesus as their Savior.
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:2
Lucas really wanted me to focus on that blood part. He said it’s his favorite verse of revelation which kind of scares me. 😬
Hey now
I’m reminded today that God’s kindness is found even in His warning of things to come. Sing the song with a heavy heart for your fellow man while there is still time that many might come to know Jesus as Savior.
Amen!
