Show Notes:
12:1-16:20, John adds more details to the story.
12:1-18 we learned that the “war” (11:7) against the people of God is none other than that which Satan has waged against the people of God from the beginning.
13:1-18 we learned that Satan (the Dragon) enlists the aid of two Beasts to do his work for him.
14:6-20 John begins to bring this section to a close by introducing us to the final judgment
- Section the forms around seven beings: six angels and “One like the Son of Man” (14:14).
John refers to “another angel” (14:6, 8, 9, 15, 17, 18)
In the first triad, the angels are even counted
The first triad of angels: each of the angels makes a pronouncement: “saying” (14:7, 8, 9).
The second triad of angels: each of the angels either, “came out of the temple” (14:15, 17), or “came out from the altar” (14:18)
The second triad: each either has, “a sharp sickle” (14:17) or commands those who have such a sickle to, “Send your sickle (14:15, 17)
The first 3 angels: the struggle between true and false worship
Interruption: 14:12-13: “Persevere”
- 13:10 “here is the patient endurance and the faith of the saints” (close of Beast #1)
- 13:18 “here is the wisdom. The one having a mind . . .” (close of Beast #2)
- 14:12 Here is the patient endurance of the saints, the ones who . . . faith”
- 17:9 “here is the mind, the one having wisdom” (inverted 13:18)
The One like a Son of Man: Jesus
Two distinct harvests:
- In the first harvest (14:14-16), the “One like a Son of Man” is commanded to “reap” (14:15)
- In the second harvest (14:17-20), an angel is commanded to “gather the clusters from the vine of the earth” (14:18)
1st = is associated with the harvesting of the righteous.
2nd = is a harvesting of the unrepentant for judgment.
Trampled (3x: 11:2; 14:20; 19:15)
1600 stadia (4x4 x 10x10)
The prayers of the Saints (5:8; 6:10; 8:3-4)
