Revelation 14:16 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he that sat on the cloud - The Saviour, Revelation 14:14.

Thrust in his sickle on the earth - To cut down the harvest - that is, to gather his people to himself.

And the earth was reaped - So far as the righteous were concerned. The end had come; the church was redeemed; the work contemplated was accomplished; and the results of the work of the Saviour were like a glorious harvest.

Revelation 14:16

16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
