Revelation 14 ends with two harvests — a harvest of grain gathered safely into the barn, and a harvest of grapes thrown into the winepress of God’s wrath. When the sickle swings, every person alive is in one of those two harvests. There is no third option.
In this expository message, Pastor Chris Starn walks through Revelation 14 in three movements: The Remnant (vv. 1–5) — the 144,000 sealed and singing before the throne; The Message (vv. 6–13) — the eternal gospel proclaimed by three angels before judgment falls; and The Harvest (vv. 14–20) — the grain harvest of mercy and the grape harvest of wrath, tied together by Joel’s prophecy of “the valley of decision” (Joel 3:14) and Isaiah’s vision of the One who treads the winepress alone (Isaiah 63:1–3).
This is not a sermon about charts or timelines. It’s a sermon about a Lamb, a cup of wrath, and a harvest — and the plain command of God to fear Him, give Him glory, and worship Him before the sickle swings. Whose name is on your forehead?
