This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev 14:10. Ἐκ τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ θυμοῦ-ἐν τῷ ποτηρίῳ τῆς ὀργῆς, of the wine of wrath-in the cup of indignation) As the wine is to the cup, so is wrath to indignation. A designed difference of words: ch. Rev 16:19, Rev 19:15. ἡ ὀργὴ leads τὸν θυμὸν into action. Comp. Rom 2:8, note. חמה is θυμὸς, חרן ὀργὴ, in the LXX.-τοῦ κεκερασμένου ἀκράτου, which is poured in without mixture) κεράννυμι, I mix, is used generally for I pour in, even of unmixed wine.-ἄκρατον is unmixed, with which nought of grace or hope is blended. Such an unmixed potion is already mingled and prepared for the worshippers of the beast. There is at hand both a salvation, which awaits the saints, and a punishment, which overhangs the wicked. Psalms 75 (74):9, ποτήριον ἐν χειρὶ Κυρίου οἴνου ἀκράτου, πλῆρες κεράσματος.
