Jer 25:15-16 | MHM | STEP | The Cup of Wrath; General Desolation In these verses, God shows Jeremiah a vision where His judgment is pictured as a cup that all the nations must drink. This cup stands for God’s anger, which will come as war and destruction, especially through Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. The vision teaches that no nation, not even Babylon itself, is safe from God’s judgment. God’s justice will start with His own people and then reach all nations. Even powerful rulers and rich countries cannot escape when God decides it is time for judgment. v. 15–16 : God gives Jeremiah a cup filled with His wrath and tells him to make all the nations drink from it. This means Jeremiah must announce God’s coming judgment to every nation in the area. The “cup” is a symbol for the sword of war. God’s anger will come like strong wine, making the nations confused and helpless. They will be forced to drink it, even if they do not want to. The result will be suffering, fear, and destruction (Jeremiah 25:16 ).
