The nations are drunk of Babylon’s wine. Babylon holds up a golden cup filled with abominations.
It’s a parody of sacred wine. It looks beautiful. It promises pleasure and power. But it produces only intoxication.
Babylon offers wine that makes you forget reality. God’s wine makes reality unavoidable. It’s the wine of truth, right?
There’s the false wine, Babylon’s wine, in Revelations. Oblivion wine. The wine of forgetting. That loses you in dreams of pleasure and power.
Revelations is the rescue of wine. Is the end of false wine. Revelations shows what the world has been drinking all along – how the world was drunk all along. On the false wine. On Babylon’s wine.
