v13 And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.”
v14 And I looked and saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was One like the Son of Man, with a golden crown on His head and a sharp sickle in His hand.
What changed from verse 13 "those who die from this MOMENT ON/FORWARD to verse 14 where the Lord has a Sharp Sickle
KEY - The Lord does not use anything in His hand for either the Resurrection or the rapture. Cutting is death.

You are trying to hard - just like the 'pre-trib' people do.
humble reminder:
Whenever you study Revelation, you must always start with an understanding of "what John saw" - you must never try to interpret individual words and/or phrases apart from an understanding of "what John saw" - or you will fall/slip into error.
Correctly applying the 'vision' aspect of Revelation to its interpretation is critical to obtaining a proper understanding of it.

No, the tool he uses is one that is specially made to harvest grapes safely. The grapes are safe and unharmed.
The second harvest is where grapes suffer harm:
Rev 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Guess who trods those grapes?
Rev_19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Jesus!
Rev 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Rev 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Rev 14:16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
This is the rapture.
Rev 14:17 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Rev 14:18 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Rev 14:19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress , even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
This is Armageddon and the wrath of God.

revelation 14 :14 is not the rapture. For one ,the Rapture is the barley Harvest not the Grape Harvest , and there is no sickle in the rapture.
The rapture is the groom gathering His bride.
If you guys frame everything outside the bride /groom dynamic , things become abstract.
Purpose is almost never revealed in other rapture models.
Do you guys know the purpose of the rapture?
The purpose if the trib?
The purpose of the AC?
1) I see almost nobody incorporating the bride and groom. ( a sure pathway for missing any hope to unpack the rapture and surrounding components.)
2) Almost nobody aware that the trib is Jacobs trouble....the time of gentiles OVER, ( THE CHURCH) ,the bride taken and in heaven ,AS JESUS DECLARED, and the beginning of the destruction of the earth and its inhabitants.
3) almost nobody here addresses the PURPOSE of the antichrist.
a) he is obsessed with killing christians....and....
b) He masquerades as the messiah...coming to help the world.
c) he is obsessed with the jews and perverting everything about them. As well as their destruction
Purpose left out is the incubator for mans formulas

The harvest written in chapter 14 is prophecy pointing to the near future. God will not harvest people with a sickle. Harvesting will not happen near the midpoint of the week, and chapter 14 is a midpoint chapter. The first harvest is of the righteous and that will be those who refuse the mark and are murdered. A big part of the harvest of the wicked will be Armageddon and the parable of the tares taking place at His coming. The 70th week goes from the 7th seal to the 7th vial, so chapter 8 to chapter 16.
