Revelation 16
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!”18 Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth. 19 The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath.
On this day when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, it seems appropriate to be reminded that it is ONLY through His blood that we have been saved from having to drink the cup of God’s fierce wrath. Jesus drank from that cup on our behalf when He was on the cross. Those who reject Jesus must drink from that cup themselves, and this description from Revelation 16, drinking from that cup will not exactly be a pleasant experience.
