Church Fathers on Revelation 14:16

“Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather in the grapes of the vine,” he signifies it of the nations that should perish on the advent of the Lord. And indeed in many forms he shows this same thing, as if to the dry harvest, and the seed for the coming of the Lord, and the consummation of the world, and the kingdom of Christ, and the future appearance of the kingdom of the blessed.
