Yeah, I don't understand (Revelations 14)


I don't understand this chapter at all.

John sees the 144,000 with the Lamb.

Meanwhile, three angels come and harvest people like grapes to be made into wine.  It sounds negative though as it uses words like "trampled".  

If anything, it reminds me of a parable by Jesus in which angels are used to separate good crops from bad ones.

The people that are harvested are those that worship the beast and those marked by the beast.  So, being marked by the beast is indeed a bad thing.  But it is associated with worship of the beast.
