A Second Harvest: The Vintage
Commentators widely agree that this scene depicts a second, distinct harvest. While the first harvest (vv. 14-16) represented the gathering of the righteous, this 'vintage' symbolizes the gathering of the wicked for judgment. As one scholar puts it, after the 'glad harvest' comes the 'sad vintage,' when God's patience with sin has reached its end.
