Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Revelation 14:13-20

Here we have the vision of the harvest and vintage, introduced with a solemn preface. Observe, I. The preface, Rev. 14:13. Here note, 1. Whence this prophecy about the harvest came: it came down from heaven, and not from men, and therefore it is of certain truth and great authority. 2. How it was to be preserved and published?by writing; it was to be a matter of record, that the people of God might have recourse to it for their support and comfort upon all occasions. 3. What it principally... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Revelation 14:14-20

14:14-20 And I saw and behold a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man. On his head he had a victor's crown of gold, and in his hand he had a sharp sickle. And another angel came forth from the temple, saying with a great voice to him who was seated on the cloud: "Put in your sickle, and begin to reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe and more than ripe." And he who was seated on the cloud put in his sickle upon the earth, and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Revelation 14:14

And I looked, and behold a white cloud ,.... In this verse is a description of the person principally concerned in the harvest of the earth, hereafter mentioned; by whom is designed not some great potentate or prince, an encourager of the Reformation among his subjects; nor an angel in an human shape; nor Martin Luther, as others; but the Lord Jesus Christ himself, who is described by his form, and by his seat, and by what he had on his head, and in his hand: and upon the cloud one sat... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 14:14

A white cloud - It is supposed that, from this verse to the end of the chapter, the destruction of Rome is represented under the symbols of harvest and vintage; images very frequent among the ancient prophets, by which they represented the destruction and excision of nations. See Joel 3:12-14 ; Isaiah 17:5 ; Isaiah 63:1 ; and Matthew 13:37 . A golden crown - In token of victory and regal power. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:14

And I looked, and behold a white cloud; and I saw, introducing a fresh phase of the vision (see on Revelation 14:1 , etc.). White; the heavenly colour (see on Revelation 3:18 , etc.). Cloud is the symbol of Christ's glory ( Acts 1:9 , Acts 1:11 ; cf. Matthew 24:30 , "And they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven;" also Revelation 1:7 , "Behold, he cometh with the clouds"). And upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man; one sitting. That Christ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:14-20

Harvest time. Any attempt to interpret the visions of this book as if they followed each other chronologically only, will inevitably fail. Sometimes, at any rate, the visions are such that they overleap the near future and glance forward to one far more remote. In fact, speaking generally, the order of them is far more moral than it is temporal, following not so much the order of years as the evolution of principles and the growth of souls. It certainly is so in the paragraph before us, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:14-20

The harvest and the vintage. It is held by many that both these refer to the same fact of God's judgment against sin and sinners. And no doubt, at times, the "harvest," does mean such judgment (cf. Joel 3:13 ; Jeremiah 51:33 ). In Matthew 13:1-58 . both harvests—that of good and evil alike—are told of "Let both grow together until," etc. Still more commonly the figure stands for the people of God and their ingathering into his blessed presence. And we think that here, whilst there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:14-20

Judgment again represented. In the spirit of the former words, and as a further confirmation of them, the process of judgment is again set forth under fresh images. So is consolation borne to the suffering and afflicted Church, and warning and admonition dealt out to the ungodly. Under the imagery of a harvest and of the gathering of the vintage, the certainties of the threatened judgment and the promised blessedness are set forth. The afflicted, down trodden, despised Church must here see... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 14:14-20

The moral seasons of humanity. "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," etc. There are three moral seasons implied in this section of the Apocalyptic vision. I. THE RIPENING SEASON . "And I looked [saw], and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud One sat like unto the [a] Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle" ( ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 14:14

And I looked - See the notes on Revelation 14:1. His attention is arrested by a new vision. The Son of man himself comes forth to close the scene, and to wind up the affairs of the world. This, too, is of the nature of an episode, and the design is the same as the previous visions - to support the mind in the prospect of the trials that the church was to experience, by the assurance that it would be finally triumphant, and that every enemy would be destroyed.And behold a white cloud - Bright,... read more
