15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.



Ver. 15. Thrust in thy sickle] This is not a command, but a request of the faithful, which is soon fulfilled. It is like that of the Church, Psa_102:3; "Arise, O Lord, and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."
