Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
14:18-20 The ripe . . . grapes (see Amos 8:2) that are trampled in the winepress emphasize God’s power to judge (see Rev 19:15; Joel 3:13). • Winepresses were built outside cities and towns; here, the city is Jerusalem. The bloody river of death stretched about 180 miles. God’s enemies stand no chance when the Son of Man comes in judgment. The carnage here is closely linked with the final battle in Rev 19:17-21; God is just and fair in giving people exactly what they deserve (see 16:5-7).
