Then another angel came out from the temple and cried out in a loud voice to the one who was sitting on the cloud, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, because the time has come; the earth is ripe for the harvest!"

Then the one who sat on the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth's harvest was reaped.

Look, he is coming on the clouds! Everyone will see him, including those who pierced him. All peoples on earth will mourn over him. So shall it be!

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down out of heaven. He was wrapped in a cloud and had a rainbow around his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like columns of fire.

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sits on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence and were seen no more.

Clouds and darkness surround him; he rules with righteousness and justice.

This is a message about Egypt. The LORD is coming to Egypt, riding swiftly on a cloud. The Egyptian idols tremble before him, and the people of Egypt lose their courage.

While he was talking, a shining cloud came over them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased---listen to him!"

Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory.

and among them there was what looked like a human being, wearing a robe that reached to his feet, and a gold band around his chest.

Above the dome there was something that looked like a throne made of sapphire, and sitting on the throne was a figure that looked like a human being.

During this vision in the night, I saw what looked like a human being. He was approaching me, surrounded by clouds, and he went to the one who had been living forever and was presented to him.

I looked, and there was a white horse. Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown. He rode out as a conqueror to conquer.

saying: "Lord God Almighty, the one who is and who was! We thank you that you have taken your great power and have begun to rule!

His eyes were like a flame of fire, and he wore many crowns on his head. He had a name written on him, but no one except himself knows what it is.

You came to him with great blessings and set a crown of gold on his head.

But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered.

Then another angel came out from the temple and cried out in a loud voice to the one who was sitting on the cloud, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, because the time has come; the earth is ripe for the harvest!"

Then I saw another angel come out of the temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.

"The nations must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There I, the LORD, will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

They are very wicked; cut them down like grain at harvest time; crush them as grapes are crushed in a full wine press until the wine runs over."

Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.' "

When the grain is ripe, the man starts cutting it with his sickle, because harvest time has come.
