We see God’s final judgment upon the earth as God commands the seven angels to pour our the seven bowls of wrath upon humanity.

John is now shown the reaping of two harvests that will occur in the last days. The harvest of wheat is one of distinction or separation, and the harvest of grapes is one of annihilation.
