The Cup Of WRATH
Why did JESUS want to pass the Cup in the garden of Gethsemane?
(Matthew 26:39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
(Matthew 13:34) All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
(Matthew 13:35) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Every sentence in GOD'S WORD has extreme importance! Not a word is written that does not have significance. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know these things.
(Luke 8:10) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
JESUS was not afraid when HE was asking FATHER to pass the Cup. HE could have stopped the whole thing anytime HE wanted just by calling on the angels to come and help HIM. What JESUS was actually asking FATHER was, if there were any way to accomplish GOD'S Plan without pouring out the Cup of WRATH on the children.
(Matthew 26:52) Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
(Matthew 26:53) Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
We can see from verses, Matthew 26:52 and 53 that JESUS has all Power on earth, but still people fail to realize that many of the things that JESUS does is because of HIS love for us. They inject their own fear of the situation into what is happening instead of realizing that JESUS came to Save us, knowing full well what HE was going to suffer for us. People often do the same regarding the Words of JESUS while JESUS was dying on THE CROSS.
When JESUS said: (Mark 15:34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
HE was teaching Psalms 22:
(Psalms 22:1) To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Psalms 22 is the prophecy of JESUS CRUCIFIXION that was written approximately one thousand years before the actual event. Yet, people attribute it to fear. Again, due to lack of knowledge and their own fear of such a situation, people put their own feelings into what is happening as they read the description of what happened on THE CROSS.
Let's find out what was actually happening in The Garden of Gethsemane:
(Matthew 26:36) Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
(Matthew 26:37) And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
(Matthew 26:38) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
(Matthew 26:39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
JESUS is asking FATHER if it's possible for the cup to pass from HIM, but HE does not say what cup HE wishes to pass.
(Matthew 26:40) And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
JESUS finds the disciples asleep. They fell asleep during watch. They were supposed to watch for one hour.
(Matthew 26:41) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Notice that temptation is brought up here without any previous talk of temptation. So far, they are to watch and pray that they do not fall into temptation during that hour.
But what hour is JESUS actually talking about? What secret is being uttered here? The elect know!
(Revelation 3:7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
(Revelation 3:8) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
(Revelation 3:9) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
(Revelation 3:11) Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
(Revelation 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
(Revelation 3:13) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The hour that JESUS is speaking of is the hour of temptation. We can see that JESUS said to Peter not to fall asleep during that hour, lest they fall into temptation. Who does Peter represent? The answer is The Church. And how would it be possible to deny JESUS' Name? To fall away to satan because of not 'watching' during that hour when satan is here disguised as CHRIST, and accepting satan is the same as denying JESUS' Name.
To fall asleep, is to fail to watch, Watchman! And how can you know what to watch for if you do not know the TRUTH. Fill your lamp with OIL so that you can see. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. The devil will offer your flesh whatever it desires, but the devil is not after your flesh. The devil is after your soul. By keeping your lamp full with OIL, your spirit can see, and your soul will be safe.
(Matthew 26:42) He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
(Matthew 26:43) And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
(Matthew 26:44) And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
(Matthew 26:45) Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(Matthew 26:46) Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
JESUS asked FATHER three times whether HE could pass this cup. All three times resulted in the cup not being passed. Does this mean that if we ask FATHER something three times and we don't get an affirmative answer, that it is not in HIS Will? I’m not sure. But it is an interesting thought. Another thought that came to mind a few minutes ago is that Peter may represent the Church here, and it is the Church that falls asleep and ends up falling for anti CHRIST, but I’m not sure about this one, as well.
Remember that 'anti' in the original Greek translation from the manuscripts means 'instead of'. So, satan is coming 'instead of' CHRIST. Don't fall for his deception.
(2 Corinthians 11:13) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:14) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
(2 Corinthians 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed G3345 as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Their end shall be according to their works, meaning that they are going to hell, (the lake of fire). The devil is not interested in your flesh body. The devil wants your soul, don't let him deceive you into losing it!
As it says in Daniel, satan comes in peacefully and prosperously, he destroys wonderfully with peace.
Basically he will give your flesh anything it desires. But you would only have it for about five months, then the Seventh Trump will sound. After that, it's all over!
Take a look at the original Greek translation from the manuscripts of the word 'Transformed':
G3345
μετασχηματίζω
metaschēmatizō
Met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo
From G3326 and a derivative of G4976; to transfigure or disguise; figuratively to apply (by accommodation): - transfer, transform (self).
It means 'Disguised'! So, satan is coming and will disguise himself as CHRIST.
This is the prophecy related to that cup:
(Isaiah 51:17) Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Every last drop will be poured out on the children of GOD!
(Isaiah 51:18) There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
(Isaiah 51:19) These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
Destruction is caused by the abomination of desolation as spoken of by Daniel the prophet. The famine of the end time is not for food, it's for hearing the WORD of GOD as shown in Amos chapter eight. And the sword spoken of here is not the Two Edged SWORD of TRUTH of JESUS CHRIST that cuts both ways, but the sword of the wicked one satan, which is lies.
(Isaiah 51:20) Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
(Isaiah 51:21) Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
The drunken are drunk with the lies of satan and are The One World System where the Great White Whore sits.
(Isaiah 51:22) Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
(Isaiah 51:23) But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
The children of GOD will drink of that cup once, but never again!
There are two tribulations. The tribulation of anti CHRIST, which is Jacob's Trouble and the Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST! The Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST is that Cup! It's all Seven Vials poured out on GOD'S children.
This is the Cup that JESUS asked FATHER if it were possible to pass! HE wanted to ask if there were any other way to accomplish GOD'S Plan to save HIS children. It isn't possible to pass that Cup! There is no other way!
(Matthew 10:19) But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
If you know the TRUTH, that is the same as having The Seal Of GOD in your forehead. If you don't know TRUTH, that is the same as the mark of the beast.
During the first tribulation of anti CHRIST, satan can't touch those who have the Seal Of GOD in their foreheads:
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And as far as the second tribulation which is The Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST, GOD is not angry with those who have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads. So there is no worry of that Cup being poured out on them!
They have a job to do for GOD! Remember, you and GOD make a majority!
The devil doesn't have a chance.
(Exodus 7:3) And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
(Exodus 7:4) But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
(Exodus 7:5) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Why would GOD want the Egyptians to know that HE is the LORD?
It's because GOD loves all HIS children, even the unbeliever. If they realize that HE is the LORD, they may come to HIM, and if they call on HIS NAME, HE will hear them!
When the battle of Armageddon and the battle of HamonGog take place, and the Cup of Wrath is poured out, many will know that HE is THE LORD!

The Cup Of WRATHWhy did JESUS want to pass the Cup in the garden of Gethsemane?
(Matthew 26:39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
(Matthew 13:34) All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
(Matthew 13:35) That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Every sentence in GOD'S WORD has extreme importance! Not a word is written that does not have significance. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear know these things.
(Luke 8:10) And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
JESUS was not afraid when HE was asking FATHER to pass the Cup. HE could have stopped the whole thing anytime HE wanted just by calling on the angels to come and help HIM. What JESUS was actually asking FATHER was, if there were any way to accomplish GOD'S Plan without pouring out the Cup of WRATH on the children.
(Matthew 26:52) Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
(Matthew 26:53) Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
We can see from verses, Matthew 26:52 and 53 that JESUS has all Power on earth, but still people fail to realize that many of the things that JESUS does is because of HIS love for us. They inject their own fear of the situation into what is happening instead of realizing that JESUS came to Save us, knowing full well what HE was going to suffer for us. People often do the same regarding the Words of JESUS while JESUS was dying on THE CROSS.
When JESUS said: (Mark 15:34) And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
HE was teaching Psalms 22:
(Psalms 22:1) To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Psalms 22 is the prophecy of JESUS CRUCIFIXION that was written approximately one thousand years before the actual event. Yet, people attribute it to fear. Again, due to lack of knowledge and their own fear of such a situation, people put their own feelings into what is happening as they read the description of what happened on THE CROSS.
Let's find out what was actually happening in The Garden of Gethsemane:
(Matthew 26:36) Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
(Matthew 26:37) And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
(Matthew 26:38) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
(Matthew 26:39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
JESUS is asking FATHER if it's possible for the cup to pass from HIM, but HE does not say what cup HE wishes to pass.
(Matthew 26:40) And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
JESUS finds the disciples asleep. They fell asleep during watch. They were supposed to watch for one hour.
(Matthew 26:41) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Notice that temptation is brought up here without any previous talk of temptation. So far, they are to watch and pray that they do not fall into temptation during that hour.
But what hour is JESUS actually talking about? What secret is being uttered here? The elect know!
(Revelation 3:7) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
(Revelation 3:8) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
(Revelation 3:9) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
(Revelation 3:11) Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
(Revelation 3:12) Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
(Revelation 3:13) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
The hour that JESUS is speaking of is the hour of temptation. We can see that JESUS said to Peter not to fall asleep during that hour, lest they fall into temptation. Who does Peter represent? The answer is The Church. And how would it be possible to deny JESUS' Name? To fall away to satan because of not 'watching' during that hour when satan is here disguised as CHRIST, and accepting satan is the same as denying JESUS' Name.
To fall asleep, is to fail to watch, Watchman! And how can you know what to watch for if you do not know the TRUTH. Fill your lamp with OIL so that you can see. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. The devil will offer your flesh whatever it desires, but the devil is not after your flesh. The devil is after your soul. By keeping your lamp full with OIL, your spirit can see, and your soul will be safe.
(Matthew 26:42) He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
(Matthew 26:43) And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
(Matthew 26:44) And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
(Matthew 26:45) Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(Matthew 26:46) Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
JESUS asked FATHER three times whether HE could pass this cup. All three times resulted in the cup not being passed. Does this mean that if we ask FATHER something three times and we don't get an affirmative answer, that it is not in HIS Will? I’m not sure. But it is an interesting thought. Another thought that came to mind a few minutes ago is that Peter may represent the Church here, and it is the Church that falls asleep and ends up falling for anti CHRIST, but I’m not sure about this one, as well.
Remember that 'anti' in the original Greek translation from the manuscripts means 'instead of'. So, satan is coming 'instead of' CHRIST. Don't fall for his deception.
(2 Corinthians 11:13) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:14) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
(2 Corinthians 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed G3345 as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
Their end shall be according to their works, meaning that they are going to hell, (the lake of fire). The devil is not interested in your flesh body. The devil wants your soul, don't let him deceive you into losing it!
As it says in Daniel, satan comes in peacefully and prosperously, he destroys wonderfully with peace.
Basically he will give your flesh anything it desires. But you would only have it for about five months, then the Seventh Trump will sound. After that, it's all over!
Take a look at the original Greek translation from the manuscripts of the word 'Transformed':
G3345
μετασχηματίζω
metaschēmatizō
Met-askh-ay-mat-id'-zo
From G3326 and a derivative of G4976; to transfigure or disguise; figuratively to apply (by accommodation): - transfer, transform (self).
It means 'Disguised'! So, satan is coming and will disguise himself as CHRIST.
This is the prophecy related to that cup:
(Isaiah 51:17) Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Every last drop will be poured out on the children of GOD!
(Isaiah 51:18) There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
(Isaiah 51:19) These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
Destruction is caused by the abomination of desolation as spoken of by Daniel the prophet. The famine of the end time is not for food, it's for hearing the WORD of GOD as shown in Amos chapter eight. And the sword spoken of here is not the Two Edged SWORD of TRUTH of JESUS CHRIST that cuts both ways, but the sword of the wicked one satan, which is lies.
(Isaiah 51:20) Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
(Isaiah 51:21) Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
The drunken are drunk with the lies of satan and are The One World System where the Great White Whore sits.
(Isaiah 51:22) Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
(Isaiah 51:23) But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
The children of GOD will drink of that cup once, but never again!
There are two tribulations. The tribulation of anti CHRIST, which is Jacob's Trouble and the Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST! The Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST is that Cup! It's all Seven Vials poured out on GOD'S children.
This is the Cup that JESUS asked FATHER if it were possible to pass! HE wanted to ask if there were any other way to accomplish GOD'S Plan to save HIS children. It isn't possible to pass that Cup! There is no other way!
(Matthew 10:19) But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
If you know the TRUTH, that is the same as having The Seal Of GOD in your forehead. If you don't know TRUTH, that is the same as the mark of the beast.
During the first tribulation of anti CHRIST, satan can't touch those who have the Seal Of GOD in their foreheads:
(Revelation 9:4) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
And as far as the second tribulation which is The Tribulation Of JESUS CHRIST, GOD is not angry with those who have The Seal Of GOD in their foreheads. So there is no worry of that Cup being poured out on them!
They have a job to do for GOD! Remember, you and GOD make a majority!
The devil doesn't have a chance.
(Exodus 7:3) And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
(Exodus 7:4) But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
(Exodus 7:5) And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Why would GOD want the Egyptians to know that HE is the LORD?
It's because GOD loves all HIS children, even the unbeliever. If they realize that HE is the LORD, they may come to HIM, and if they call on HIS NAME, HE will hear them!
When the battle of Armageddon and the battle of HamonGog take place, and the Cup of Wrath is poured out, many will know that HE is THE LORD!
