Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl in the air. A loud voice came from the throne in the temple, saying, "It is done!"

They shouted in a loud voice, "Almighty Lord, holy and true! How long will it be until you judge the people on earth and punish them for killing us?"

I will speak out to encourage Jerusalem; I will not be silent until she is saved, And her victory shines like a torch in the night.

On your walls, Jerusalem, I have placed sentries; They must never be silent day or night. They must remind the LORD of his promises And never let him forget them.

They must give him no rest until he restores Jerusalem And makes it a city the whole world praises.

Then I looked, and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud was what looked like a human being, with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

It used the vast authority of the first beast in its presence. It forced the earth and all who live on it to worship the first beast, whose wound had healed.

Soon the enemy will cut them down and trample them like grain on a threshing place. I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, have spoken."

They are very wicked; cut them down like grain at harvest time; crush them as grapes are crushed in a full wine press until the wine runs over."

Let the wheat and the weeds both grow together until harvest. Then I will tell the harvest workers to pull up the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them, and then to gather in the wheat and put it in my barn.' "

and the enemy who sowed the weeds is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvest workers are angels.

Then another angel, who is in charge of the fire, came from the altar. He shouted in a loud voice to the angel who had the sharp sickle, "Use your sickle, and cut the grapes from the vineyard of the earth, because the grapes are ripe!"

Abram put his trust in the LORD, and because of this the LORD was pleased with him and accepted him.

"What is it?" I asked. He replied, "It is a basket, and it stands for the sin of the whole land."

The angel said, "This represents wickedness." Then he pushed her down into the basket and put the lid back down.

I asked the angel, "Where are they taking it?"

Go on, then, and finish up what your ancestors started!

They even tried to stop us from preaching to the Gentiles the message that would bring them salvation. In this way they have brought to completion all the sins they have always committed. And now God's anger has at last come down on them!
