Jeremiah chapter 25 verse 15.

Thus says the Lord the God of Israel, said to me,

Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath,

and make all the nations to whom I send you, drink it.

This is a really important image. you, drink it.

This is a really important image for understanding what Jesus did on the cross.

Here in Jeremiah 2515, God says,

here is a cup that is filled with the wine of my wrath.

So that's an image.

We see it in different places.

In the Old Testament and the New Testament, you see this in different prophets. different

in the Old Testament and the New Testament. You see this in different prophets and then you see this in

revelation. Revelation 14 we we see the the wine press of God's fury. So this

picture of a cup that is filled with the

wrath of God do sin and the whole point here in Jeremiah 25 is these nations who have

rebelled against God are going to experience the wrath of

his judgment that they deserve in their sinfulness.

So that's the picture of the Old Testament and really all throughout scripture we have this picture of a cup symbolizing

Wrath and judgment so when you come to the New Testament and you see Jesus preparing to go to the cross and he's in the

garden of getseini what is he praying? Father if it is possible let this

what pass from me this cup? This cup represents the wine of God's wrath do sin, the judgment do sinners.
