This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Cast (ebalen). As in Rev 14:16.
Gathered (etrugēsen). Like etheristhē in Rev 14:16, in obedience to the instructions in Rev 14:18 (trugēson).
The vintage of the earth (tēn ampelon tēs gēs). “The vine of the earth.” Here ampelos is used for the enemies of Christ collectively pictured.
And cast it (ebalen). Repeating ebalen and referring to ampelon (vintage) just before.
Into the winepress the great winepress (eis tēn lēnon ton megan). Lēnos is either feminine as in Rev 14:20; Rev 19:15, or masculine sometimes in ancient Greek. Here we have both genders, a solecism frequent in the Apocalypse (Rev 21:14 to teichos echōn). See Mat 21:33. For this metaphor of God s wrath see Rev 14:10; Rev 15:1, Rev 15:7; Rev 16:1, Rev 16:19; Rev 19:15.
