of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully
ripe. (19)And the angel thrust 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. (20)And the wine-press was trodden without the
city, and blood came forth out of the wine-press, even to the bits of
the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

AND I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels
having seven plagues; which are the last, because in them is completed
the wrath of God.

(2)And I saw as it were a sea of glass, mingled with fire; and those
