Jeremiah 25:15-38Jeremiah symbolically offers a drink to all the nations, which represents their suffering from the wrath of God. All the nations must take of it, and then finally Babylon itself. John picks up this same vision in Revelation 18, because Babylon represents all the rebellious kingdoms of the world, and that cup represents God’s wrath against them at Armageddon. Jerusalem and Judah take of it first, because God’s wrath is poured out against them in Jeremiah’s time. Jesus took the cup at his final supper with his disciples, knowing that it represents God’s wrath against sin. He suffered on the cross in our place.
LORD, thank you for Jesus, who took the cup for us.
