My phone was stolen, or lost, and I'd like to clear all the content from it. Pictures, iMessages, etc. Since I don't have my phone, how do I do all the from my PC? If you could answer me asap, that would be great.

If you had activated Find my iPhone on the device before it was stolen, you can log into www.icloud.com, select your device and select Wipe. If the device is offline, then it will execute the command the next time it is online.

So far, we have gathered that its most likely on airplane mode. So that means that when airplane mode is turned back off, that it should delete everything?
If it connects to the internet, yes. What makes you think that it is in Airplane Mode? If the battery dies, then it would not. If the device connects to the internet, then it would execute the Lost Mode, or Wipe command, whatever you sent it.
The last time I had it, it was in Airplane Mode. So when I log into icloud.com, where do I go next to wipe my device?
Once I go into the icloud screen after logging in, what do I select in settings to "wipe" my device?
Try this:
<<If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support>>
or more specifically, this:
<<iCloud: Erase your device>>https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201472
