This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Send forth (pempson). First aorist (urgency) active imperative of pempō. “Thrust in thy sickle now,” this angel urges Christ.

And reap (kai therison). First aorist (urgency) active imperative of therizō, old verb (from theros, summer), as in Mat 6:26. See Rev 14:7 for “the hour is come.” Therisai (to reap) is epexegetical infinitive (first aorist active of therizō).

The harvest (ho therismos). Old, but rare word (from therizō, to harvest), as in Mat 13:30; Joh 4:35, here only in Revelation.

Is over-ripe (exēranthē). First aorist (prophetic as in Rev 10:7; Rev 15:1) passive of xērainō (cf. Jam 1:11), to wither, to dry up. Perhaps just “ripe,” not “over-ripe.” Cf. Joe 1:17.
