Cherry juice…
Yesterday I used my steamer/juicer to juice some cherries…it is too concentrated to drink straight, so has to be diluted with water or a carbonated accompaniment….
Reading in Revelations this am…made me think of the cherry juice…the wine press…
First the wine makers had to tread the grapes to get the majority of the juice out, then put through a wine press to finish the process before the fermentation…typically they combined one part wine to three or four parts water, rarely drinking full strength…
Chapter 14 speaks of “full strength “ no more dilution of judgement to come…
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.
Rev.14.9-12
The last sentence of this passage speaks of patient endurance and faithfulness of the people of God….steadfastness through the storm…
Thank YOU….
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2Pet.3.9
Strength of my Life….
