The Cup of God's Wrath
Commentators explain that the "cup of the wine of wrath" is a powerful biblical metaphor for God's judgment. The "cup" signifies that the judgment is measured and certain, while the "wine of wrath" illustrates its devastating effects, causing confusion, despair, and madness. This imagery, found throughout Scripture, emphasizes the terrifying reality of facing divine justice.
