Revelation 14:10

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: THE SAME - `he also,' as the just, inevitable retribution (Psalms 75:8). WITHOUT MIXTURE. Wine was so commonly mixed with water, that to mix wine is used for to pour out wine. This wine of God's wrath is undiluted: no drop of water to cool its heat. Nought of grace or hope blended with it. God's threat may well raise us above fear of man's threats. This unmixed cup is already mingled for Satan and the beast's followers. INDIGNATION - wrath [ orgees (G3709)...

6-13 The progress of the Reformation appears to be here set forth. The four proclamations are plain in their meaning; that all Christians may be encouraged, in the time of trial, to be faithful to their Lord. The gospel is the great means whereby men are brought to fear God, and to give glory to him. The preaching of the everlasting gospel shakes the foundations of antichrist in the world, and hastens its downfal. If any persist in being subject to the beast, and in promoting his cause, they must expect to be for ever miserable in soul and body. The believer is to venture or suffer any thing in obeying the commandments of God, and professing the faith of Jesus. May God bestow this patience upon us. Observe the description of those that are and shall be blessed: such as die in the Lord; die in the cause of Christ, in a state of union with Christ; such as are found in Christ when death co...

Verse Revelation 14:10. _THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD_] As they have drunk the intoxicating wine of idolatry or spiritual fornication, they shall now drink the wine of God's wrath, which is poured out into the cup of his indignation. This is an allusion to the _poisoned cup_, which certain criminals were obliged to drink, on which ensued speedy death. Hebrews 2:9, Hebrews 2:9. _SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE_] An allusion to the punishment of _Sodom_ and _Gomorrha_ for their unnatural crimes. _PRESENCE OF THE HOLY ANGELS, AND-OF THE LAMB_] These being the _instruments_ employed in their destruction;

THE SAME SHALL DRINK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD - See notes on Revelation 14:8. The “wine of the wrath of God” is the cup in the hand of the Lord, which, when drunk, makes them reel and fall. The image would seem to have been taken from the act of holding out a cup of poison to a condemned man that he might drink and die. See the sentiment here expressed illustrated in the notes on Isaiah 51:17. WHICH IS POURED OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE - Without being diluted with water - that is, in its full strength. In other words, there would be no mitigation of the punishment. INTO THE CUP OF HIS INDIGNATION - The cup held in his hand, and given them to drink. This is expressive of his indignation,

EXPOSITION REVELATION 14:1 AND I LOOKED; _and I saw, _indicating a fresh phase of the vision (cf. Revelation 4:1, etc.). Having described (Revelation 12:1. and 13.) the trinity of enemies with which Christ and his people contend, the vision now passes on to depict the blessedness in store for the faithful Christian, and, on the other hand, the final fate of the dragon and his adherents. We are thus once more led to the final judgment. And just as in the former vision, after the assurance of the salvation of the faithful (Revelation 7:1.), came the denuncia

THE SAME SHALL DRINK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD,.... Which is a just punishment for their sin; that as such have drank of the wine of the wrath of Rome's fornication, Revelation 14:8 so they shall now drink of the wine of God's wrath; it is usual in Scripture to express the punishment God inflicts upon wicked men by his wrath, and by the wine cup of his fury; and their suffering such punishment, by their drinking of it; see Jeremiah 25:15 so יין דרוגזא, "the wine of wrath", is a phrase used by the Jews q: WHICH IS POURED OUT WITHOUT MIXTURE, INTO THE CUP OF HIS INDIGNATION; sometimes called a cup of fury and of trembling, Isaiah 51:17 and is sometimes said to be f

Revelation 14:1. _And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb_ John always writes of Jesus as the «Lamb.» His Lord is to him in his sacrificial character always «the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world» by the shedding of his blood. «I looked, and, lo, a Lamb» Revelation 14:1. _Stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. The Revised Version has it, «having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads.» Now they are known to be the Lord's; on earth that fact was questioned, but his name is written on their foreheads now. Sometimes they themselves had to question it, but now it is apparent to all, the distinguishing mark is stamped upon their brow:_ «havi

THE VISION OF THE THREE ANGELS. Revelation 14:6. an eternal gospel: it is doubtful whether gospel is here used in its technical sense. It probably means a proclamation of good news. The proclamation here is one which urges men to fear and worship God in view of the coming judgment (_cf._ Mark 1:15). Revelation 14:8. Babylon: there can be no doubt that Babylon here means Rome. There are traces in other apocalyptic literature of the same usage of the word. FORNICATION: probably in a metaphorical sense to denote idolatry. Revelation 14:9. worshippeth the beast: a reference to Emperor-worshi
