(Chapter 14 is written about events on earth after the victory, i.e. the first day of the Millennium, the LORD'S day)

Revelation 14)

1: And I saw, and lo, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with Him a hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and His Father' name sealed in their foreheads. (secretly sealed within the mind. See Ezek. 44. This is not the elect.)
2: And I heard a voice out of heaven, as a voice of many waters (see 1:15 & 19:6), and as a voice of great thunder: and the voice which I heard was that of harpers accompanying the voice with their harps: (they were loud and singing)
3: And they sing as it were a new song (cp. 5:9) before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders: and no man could learn the song (only instance where the words of the song are not given. A new song, by a new company, by a new theme.) but the one hundred and forty-four thousand, which had been purchased (bought by the blood of Christ) from the earth.

4: These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (Both instances no gender intended. This is spiritually speaking. The reference is to the pollutions of the mind connected with the great religious system, the false teaching of the so called "rapture" under Antichrist [=Satan] in the coming days). These are they which follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were purchased from among men, being first fruits to God and to the Lamb. (i.e. after the victory & after the 7th trump. They came out of confusion after they realized the truth of the witness of the elect and the two witnesses.)
5: And in their mouth was not found the lie (i.e. that Satan is Christ): for they are without fault. (see Eph. 1:4)

6: And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven (remember that the wings that angels have are not on their body but what they fly in. What does an airplane have? wings. We were created in the image of God and the angels. Look behind you do you have wings attached to your body?), having the everlasting gospel to preach (this word is forever, preach discipline in it) to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue and people;

7: Saying with a great voice, "Revere God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come (= the day of wrath, & the great white throne judgment. Cp. Isa. 61:2 and the point where our Lord stopped in His reading [Luke 4:19]): and worship Him That made heaven, and earth, and sea, and fountains of waters."

8: And another, a second angel, followed, saying,

"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great (Babylon = confusion), which made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." (= idolatry, seducing by religion)

9: And another, a third angel followed them, saying with a great voice,

"If any man (no gender intended) worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in their forehead, or in their hand (= doing his work),
10: He also (emphatic) shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured undiluted into the cup of His indignation (this is the cup that Christ prayed would pass from Him); and he shall be tormented with fire (i.e. not a literal fire burn a fire that burns within oneself. See 9:5) and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11: And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever (= into nothingness, their works); and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image (i.e. Antichrist = Satan & the one world order), and receives the mark of his name." (see v.9)
12: Here is the patience of the saints: they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (i.e. the faith which Jesus gives.)
13: And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth (i.e. from John forward. See 1 Pet. 3:18); in order that they may rest from their toilsome labors; for their rewards do follow them. (show your works and see your faith. See 19:8)
14: And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud One (i.e. Christ) sitting like the Son of Man (because He was), having on His head a golden crown (Crown of crowns, King of kings)

and in His hand a sharp sickle. (for those who don't care)

15: And another angel came out of the Temple, crying with a great voice to the One sitting on the cloud,

Thrust in Your sickle, and reap: for the hour is come to reap; for the harvest on the earth is ripe. (lit. dried up. These are not His children but the tares = the Kenites = the sons of Cain = the sons of Satan.)
16: And He That sat on the cloud cast in His sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17: And another angel came out of the Temple which is in heaven,

he also having a sharp sickle.

18: And another angel came out from the altar (see 6:9), the one having power over the fire;

and he called with a great cry to him that had the sharp sickle, Cast in your sharp sickle (the sickle for the grain, = the tares of v.15, not for the grapes), and gather the cluster of the vine of the earth (= Antichrist = Satan); for her grapes are fully ripe.
19: And the angel cast in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. (= the cup of wrath, for correction)
20: And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the wine press, even to the horses bridle, as far as a thousand and six-hundred furlongs. (= 180-200 miles.)
