Revelation

THE BOOK OF REVELATION: M. M. NINAN
I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with Me; for I will tread them
in My anger and trample them in My fury; and their blood will be sprinkled on My garments, and I will
stain all My clothing.
For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. And I looked, and
there was none to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has
saved for Me; and My fury upheld Me. And I will tread down the people in My anger, and make them
drunk in My fury, and I will pour their juice to the earth.
Isa 63:7 I will mention the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that
Jehovah has benefited for us, and the great good to the house of Israel by which He benefited them
according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His loving-kindnesses.
The fury and extent of the revenge is given
Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress,
even to the bridles of the horses, for the space of a thousand, six hundred stadia.
The pressed juice of the grapes ran out red like blood, and ran in a mighty stream, A thousand and six
hundred furlong are approximately 184 miles, the full length of Palestine. The average height of a horse's
bridle is about four to five feet.
Even unto the horse bridles is a hyperbolical expression, to denote a great effusion of blood. The Jews said,
"When Hadrian besieged the city called Bitter, he slew so many that the horses waded in blood up to their
mouths."
Matt.13:40-42. "As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this
world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that
offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth,"
In the parable of the tares, Jesus describes: "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them:
but gather the wheat into my barn."
Thus the tares were to be gathered first—not before the righteous are gathered, but before the wheat is
placed in the garner: the new earth being the garner where the righteous are finally to be gathered, they
cannot be placed there till the wicked have been gathered out.
Isaiah prophesied this event : Isa.63:1-4.
"Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?
Who is this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength?
I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
