<p>14:19 <em>And the angel cast his sickle into the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the winepress, the great winepress of the anger of God</em>-</p><p>The harvesting of the vine of the earth / land is different from the general judgment of all men and the Gentile world. The vine of the land may refer to specific judgment upon Israel- hence the reference to 1600 furlongs of judgment in 14:20, which was thought to be the length of the land of Israel.</p><p>This passage is quoting from Is. 63:1-6, where the treading of the winepress &quot;without the city&quot; (:20) is clearly with reference to the Lord's crucifixion &quot;without the gate&quot; (Heb. 13:12). As He said, in His death, there was the judgment of the Jewish world. Our response to the cross is a foretaste of our response to the judgment experience. The essential reason why the people of the earth / land will be trampled there is because they had not accepted the judgment of the cross of Christ.</p>
