Into the winepress the great winepress ( eis tēn lēnon ton megan ).

Lēnos is either feminine as in Rev 14:20; Rev 19:15, or masculine sometimes in ancient Greek. Here we have both genders, a solecism frequent in the Apocalypse (Rev 21:14 to teichos echōn ). See Mat 21:33. For this metaphor of God s wrath see Rev 14:10; Rev 15:1, Rev 15:7; Rev 16:1, Rev 16:19; Rev 19:15.

Vincent: Rev 14:19 - The great wine-press

The great wine-press ( τὴν ληὸν τὸν μέγαν )

The Greek student will note the masculine adjective with the feminine noun, possibly because the gender of the noun is doubtful. The Rev., in rendering more literally, is more forcible: the wine-press , the great wine-press . See on Mat 21:33.

JFB: Rev 14:19

"The vine" is what is the subject of judgment because its grapes are not what God looked for considering its careful culture, but "wild grapes" (Isa. 5:1-30). The apostate world of Christendom, not the world of heathendom who have not heard of Christ, is the object of judgment. Compare the emblem, Rev 19:15; Isa 63:2-3; Joe 3:13.

Clarke: Rev 14:19 - The great winepress of the wrath of God

Poole: Rev 14:19

Dr. More thinks the sense of this is, that men were pressed in conscience upon the sharp conviction of Christ’ s powerful ministers, with sorrow for their sins, and so felt the wrath of God in them. But Mr. Mede, with whom (as to the sense of this text) I rather agree, tells us, that the treading of the vintage, in parabolical Scripture, constantly signifies a cruel, bloody, and deadly slaughter; he thinks that it is the same slaughter mentioned Rev 19:19-21 , as to which, Rev 14:15 , much the same metaphor is used, he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath, of Almighty God.

PBC: Rev 14:19

Re 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.[1]

This great wrath of God was carried out by the legions of Titus, who were besieging the city. They were fast shedding the blood of those who had cast themselves into the role of defenders of Jerusalem. The figure of 1600 furlongs is used to show the terrible amount of bloodshed during the siege of Jerusalem. The angel which had the sharp sickle accomplished the great wrath of God. There are other interpretations of these events which place them as futuristic. However, I would again refer you to the message to John which called them " things which must shortly come to pass." Jesus speaking of Jerusalem, said, " Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation." {Mt 23:36} —Eld. Charles Taylor

[1] Furlong -stadion, stad’-ee-on; (in plural) stadios, stad’-ee-os; (as fixed); a stade or certain measure of distance; by implication a stadium or race-course: furlong, race. [Zondervan’s Bible Dictionary calls a furlong a distance of about 606 feet.]

Haydock: Rev 14:14-20 - Like to the Son of man

Like to the Son of man. That is, to our Saviour Christ, sitting on a white cloud, with a crown of gold, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another Angel, desiring of him to do justice, by putting in his sickle, because the harvest of the earth was ripe, dry, and withered; i.e. the wicked, ripe for punishment. The like is again represented by the sickle, which is said to be put to the clusters of the vineyard: and they were cast into the great wine-press, or lake of the wrath of God, into hell, where the blood is said to come out even up to the horses' bridles, for a thousand and six hundred furlongs: a metaphorical way of expressing the exceeding great torments of the wicked in hell. But to pretend from hence to give the just dimensions of hell, is a groundless conjecture; of which see Cornelius a Lapide. (Witham)

Gill: Rev 14:19 - And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth // and gathered the vine of the earth // and cast it into the great winepress the wrath of God

And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth,.... Before "upon the earth", when the harvest was gathered in, the wheat being on the earth, but not belonging to it; but here "into the earth", the vine being the vine of the earth, rooted in it, and natural to it:

and gathered the vine of the earth; the Arabic version reads, "of the whole earth"; in like manner as the tares in the parable are said to be gathered, and bound in bundles, and cast into the fire, which, as here, intends the destruction of the wicked, at the end of the world: this vine may be said to be cut down at the burning of the world, and to be gathered at the second resurrection, as the wheat harvest of the saints will be at the first resurrection:

and cast it into the great winepress the wrath of God; the same with the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, so often mentioned in this book: the torments of the wicked will lie in the wrath of God being poured forth upon them, and into them, which will be that fire that cannot be quenched, and that worm that never dies; and this is signified by the squeezing of grapes in a winepress, as God's judgments in this world sometimes are, Isa 63:3 and which will be very heavy and intolerable, since this winepress will be trod by the Lord God Almighty: and it is said to be a great one, as it must needs be, to hold the vine of the whole earth, or all the wicked of the world, who will be like the sand of the sea, innumerable; and this will be big enough for them all, and they will all be cast into it at once. Tophet is deep and large, Isa 30:33.
