Exegesis
Finally, the causal clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} with the verb ēkmasan {ἤκμασαν | ḗk-ma-san} “have fully ripened” explains why the harvest command is timely: the grapes, staphylai {σταφυλαί | sta-phy-laí}, are at their fullness, signaling the moment for eschatological reaping.
In context — Revelation 14:18
And another angel came out from the altar , having authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Send out your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes have fully ripened.”
