Judgment Day is one of Christianity’s hardest truths. What will it actually look like? Why does Revelation picture Jesus harvesting the earth, then grapes being crushed in the winepress of God’s wrath?

Revelation 14:14–15:4 gives us three confronting but hope-filled pictures: Christ gathers his people safely; God finally brings evil to an end; and the redeemed stand victorious, singing the praises of God.

The warning is severe, but there is a way through. The Judge is also the Lamb who shed his own blood to save. Judgment Day is real, comprehensive and wonderful. Love does not hide hard truths.
