Revelation14:18
18 And another angel came out from the altar which had power over fire ; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying , Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth : for here grapes are fully ripe .
The place of Sacrifices and Burnt-offerings.
Which had Commission to execute God's Judgments compared to Fire, Psalm 11.6. and 21.9. and 50.3.
God's Holy Ones cry unto him who hath a Power to execute Vengeance.
To put an end to the Rage of Antichrist, and gather those Clusters which grew upon this Vine of Sodom, and were as the Clusters of Gomorrah;
for their Iniquities were come to the full, and they were now ripe for Judgment. Our learned Dr. Moor expounds this Ripeness, of a Readiness for Conversion, as well as for Destruction, and thinks the first is here rather intended: the last words of the next Verse incline me to judge otherwise.
