Revelation 14:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Favored are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their labors, because their deeds follow them.”

Two harvests of the earth

¹⁴ Then I looked, and there was a white cloud. On the cloud was seated someone who looked like the Human One.^[a] He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ Another angel came out of the temple, calling in a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud: “Use your sickle to reap the harvest, for the time to harvest has come, and the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
