Verse 13

Their works; the memory and reward of their works.

Revelation 14:16

Verse 16

And the earth was reaped. This reaping by the Lamb represents, perhaps, the gathering of the good, as the second reaping (Revelation 14:17-19) plainly denotes the general summoning of the wicked to judgment and retribution.

Revelation 14:20

Verse 20

Unto the horse-bridles; that is, in depth. The bridle of the horse dipping into the surface of water through which the rider is passing, indicates to him the depth of the flood.–A thousand and six hundred furlongs; over a vast extent of ground. These expressions are designed to indicate the greatness and the extent of the destruction with which the enemies of God will finally be overwhelmed.
