The scene opens on Mt. Zion - the Mountain of God - the holy headquarters! Everyone is gathered. God - the Lamb - the heavenly hosts - and the 144,000 - the people of God! They are battle-ready! They bear the mark of God; they have been purified - qualified - sanctified! Suddenly, a series of 3 angels. The 1st is flying in midheaven - proclaiming an eternal gospel. The 2nd declares, "Fallen - fallen is Babylon the great!" The 3rd shouts - anyone who worships the beast and his image - who bears the mark of the beast - will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger! There's fire - brimstone - smoke - torture! Then - one like a Son of Man - sitting on a white cloud with a sharp sickle in His hand! He swings the sickle and reaps the earth! Another angel appears with another sharp sickle! He swings it - and reaps the grapes from the vine of the earth - then throws them into the winepress! It is trodden - and a river of blood flows everywhere! What could all this possibly mean? Let's get into it!
