St. John deals with the harvest of the earth towards the end of Chapter 14 of the Book of Revelation. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan explains how St. John treats it as the “grain” harvest and “vine” harvest. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Sower and the Reaper, and He decides whether the earth is ready for harvest or not.

The hour of facing God’s wrath all alone for the redemption of the human race was also Jesus’ hour of glory. No one knew when the hour of God will come, not even the Son on Earth. It is a moment when God knows that the human race is fixed in its decision either for or against Him. 

The choice for everybody is the Blood of the Lamb or the Blood of Justice
