The Harvest of the Earth

14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one g like a son of man, h with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel i came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, j "Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for k the harvest of the earth is fully ripe." 16 So he who sat on the cloud swung his sickle across the earth, and the earth was reaped.
