Two Awe-full Pictures

When Jesus saw the contents of the cup of Yahweh’s wrath

Wake yourself, wake yourself up!
Stand up, Jerusalem,
you who have drunk the cup of His fury
from the hand of the Lord;
you who have drunk the goblet to the dregs—
the cup that causes people to stagger.
There is no one to guide her
among all the children she has raised;
there is no one to take hold of her hand
among all the offspring she has brought up.
These two things have happened to you:
devastation and destruction,
famine and sword.
Who will grieve for you?
How can I comfort you?
Your children have fainted;
they lie at the head of every street
like an antelope in a net.
They are full of the Lord’s fury,
the rebuke of your God.
(Isaiah 51:17-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible®©)

They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”

But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”
(Mark 10:37-38 Holman Christian Standard Bible®©)


“Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”
(Luke 22:42 Holman Christian Standard Bible®©)

When Heaven and Earth see Jesus sit as Judge for the first time

Then I saw a great white throne and One seated on it. Earth and heaven fled from His presence, and no place was found for them.
