Which Vine

Revelation 14:18-19 English Standard Version (ESV) And another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has authority over the fire, and he called with a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” So the angel swung his sickle across the earth and gathered the grape harvest of the earth and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

Which vine or vines are we seeing here? Given what I declared yesterday to be the essential truth that not all vines are rooted in truth, nor in agape love, then what fruit is being produced that is the grapes of wrath? Where are their roots? There has to be a common thread that identifies these vine types in the world.

Isaiah 40:20 English Standard Version (ESV) He who is too impoverished for an offering chooses wood[a] that will not rot; he seeks out a skillful craftsman to set up an idol that will not move. Footnotes: a. Isaiah 40:20 Or He chooses valuable wood

Those who find value in earthly things are of a multitude of beliefs.  The impoverished soul in them has no respect or fear of God. They do not know Him because their roots are not in Him. I will not name those organizations because it is for each of us to search our souls to determine the roots of our vine.
