Mowing down His enemies

Revelation 14:14-16
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp SICKLE. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your SICKLE and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 16 So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His SICKLE on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

Below is a REALLY BORING video of a guy using a scythe (similar to a sickle, but with a long handle). A scythe is what you normally see "the grim reaper" holding. Why post a video of this? Well, mainly because in our age of remote-controlled lawn mowers, we don't really know what a scythe or a sickle is. It's a good visual to get in your mind as we study John's vision in Revelation 14 when the Son of Man reaps the earth. This won't really be a battle - it's literally God annihilating His enemies.

(If it gets too boring for you, fast forward to about 2:00 - that's when you can see the ducks...and oh man is that exciting!)
