his hand,

[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

[11] And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name.

This shows the end of Satan's rule, or the end of evil, Babylon the Great,' and how those who have worshipped the evil will be punished; those with the mark (666).

[12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

[13] And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: You, say to the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

We need the patience of a Saint to be able to adhere to the commandments of God, and to trust wholly in him in order to attain existence within the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who die believing,' for in the spirit there shall be no physical exertion, (Work or toil), but they shall exist without physical involvement.

[14] And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

[15] And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

[16] And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

[17] And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

[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 her grapes are fully ripe.

[19] And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

[20] And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

This represents the reaping of the earth of all its corrupted inhabitants, those who have turned away from God, existing on evil all their days.

Behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.'

The son of man represents the judge who comes to administer justice; the sickle representing justice. With the sickle justice is administered and those found unworthy will be cut down.'

This shows a cleansing of the earth of all that is bad or evil.
