"In the Psalm we have a cup mentioned .The wine is mixed where as in the vision of John wrath of God is without.(Re.14:10;Ps.75:8). Of what significance are the wine mingled and dregs?
A: The Spirit leaves no loose ends in setting forth the complete will of God. The dregs you mention is from the verse,"but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them."(Ps.75:8) In the vision of John we see the angel 'having power over fire' direct the operation. "And gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe."(14:18) These are to be trodden first in "the great winepress of the wrath of God."(v.19) The consequence is 'blood and not wine and it has a volume, "and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." It is expressed according to the Law of the Spirit. Those who are assigned to the earthly Jerusalem (as against Jerusalem, which is above-14:1-5) the Jews and the left out church shall be made to drink from it. The dregs thereof shall be dealt to the wicked whether they like it or not. (14:20) The angel having power over fire we have seen in the night vision of Daniel."and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,"(Dan.7:13) This fire direct from the fiery throne flows all through to the lake of fire,(Re.19:20)
On the other hand " For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same." (Ps.75:8) These are the blessings from the seven days stipulated in the everlasting covenant.(Ge.ch.1) This also has a motif that you find in the inaugural vision of John." and his voice as the sound of many waters."(Re.1:15) Gospel is like two edged sword, of mercy and wrath.
