“Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.”
The image of putting in the sickle because the harvest is ripe indicates the readiness of the judgment, that the nations have become ripe for destruction. The metaphor of harvest shifts from agricultural abundance to gathering for judgment. This verse indicates the imminence and readiness of final judgment.
