Revelation 14:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write— ‘Blessed[a] are the dead dying in the Lord from-now-on! Yes, says the Spirit, so that they will rest from their labors, for their works are following with them”.
The Reaping of Mankind
14 And I saw and behold— there was a white cloud, and one sitting on the cloud resembling a son[b] of man, having a golden crown[c] upon his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying-out with a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Send your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap came, because the harvest of the earth was dried-up[d]”.
