For It's Grapes Are Ripe - Revelation 14: 16-19
Heaven sends forth it's angel
coming with a sharp sickle
another angel came from the temple
for the earth were in a right pickle!
This angel had authority over the fire
he spoke then with a voice so loud
to the one with the sharp sickle
gather the cluster from earth's crowd
Having put in his sickle
from the grapes were ripe
so the angel swung it across earth
covering every peoples and type
They were thrown into God's winepress
where His wrath and blood did flow
this picture of God's awful judgement
revealing sin's awful consequence to show
(' Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.') Revelation ch. 14 vs. 17-19 (ESV)
