Revelation 14:1-20
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads... Thrust in thy sickle, and reap... and the earth was reaped... and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.”
King James Version
The Lamb and the 144,000 on Mount Zion, the three angels' messages, the blessing on those who die in the Lord, and the twin harvest — the grain and the winepress of wrath.

How Traditions Read This Prophecy
Apostolic (Oneness) PentecostalThe 144,000 bear 'his Father's name' in their foreheads — the name of the one God, Jesus, sealing His own.
JewishThe harvest and winepress of wrath draw on Joel 3:13 and Isaiah 63's treading of the winepress.
CatholicThe redeemed with the Lamb, the everlasting gospel proclaimed, and the harvest of judgment.
ProtestantThe 144,000 sealed and secure; the grain-harvest (the redeemed) and the grape-harvest (the wrath) at the end.
OrthodoxThe redeemed gathered to the Lamb; the harvest of the age.
DispensationalThe 144,000 (of ch. 7) preserved through the Tribulation; the harvests at its close.
AcademicThe two harvests develop Joel 3:13; the winepress imagery comes from Isaiah 63 (and reappears in Rev. 19).
Scholarship & Sources
The two harvests (14:14-20) elaborate Joel 3:13; the winepress 'without the city' and blood 'to the horse bridles' draw on Isaiah 63:1-6 and reappear at 19:15. The 'Father's name' (14:1; contrast the beast's mark, 13:16-18) frames the chapter as a deliberate counter-image.
