So the One seated on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested So the One seated on the cloud This phrase refers to Jesus Christ, often depicted in Scripture as coming with the clouds of heaven (Daniel 7:13, Matthew 24:30). The imagery of clouds signifies divine presence and majesty. In the Greek, "seated" (καθήμενος, kathēmenos) implies authority and sovereignty. The cloud symbolizes both the glory of God and His judgment, as clouds often accompany divine revelation and intervention throughout the Bible. swung His sickle over the earth and the earth was harvested (1) the harvest of the earth by the Son of man; (2) the gathering of the vintage by the angel. On the whole, it seems probable that the first refers to the selection by Christ of the faithful at the end of the world, while the secured describes the ingathering of the wicked for punishment immediately afterwards. This agrees with the general tenor of the whole chapter, viz, a portrayal of the opposite fates in store for the faithful and the wicked. The description thus corresponds with the account of the end of the world given in Revelation 7, with which chapter this one has so much in common (see on the first verses of the present chapter). In Revelation 7. the saints are first selected and sealed, before the wicked meet their doom. Thus, also, the judgment is described by our Lord in his parables of the wheat and the tares, and the sheep and the goats. This accounts also for the first gathering being presided over by the Son of man, while the second is conducted by an angel. The punishment in connection with the vintage seems to distinguish it from the first harvest. This also corresponds to the announcements of the former angels, who first preach the everlasting gospel, and afterwards denounce those who serve the beast (vers. 6-11).
