Matthew Poole and continuators on Revelation 14:19

19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath of God .

Dr. Moor thinks the Sense of this is, That Men were pressed in Conscience upon the sharp Conviction of Christ's powerful Ministers, with sorrow for their Sins, and so felt the Wrath of God in them. But Mr. Mede, with whom (as to the sense of this Text) I rather agree, tells us, That the treading of the Vintage, in parabolical Scripture, constantly signifies a cruel, bloody, and deadly Slaughter; he thinks that it is the same Slaughter mentioned, ch. 19. v. 19, 20, 21. as to which, v. 15. much the same Metaphor is used, he treadeth the Wine-press of the Fierceness and Wrath of Almighty God.
