JOEL
“Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl,
all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new
wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.”
[Joel 1:5] “I shall bring again the captivity of
Judah. Ye have sold a girl for wine, that they
might drink.” [Joel 3:3]
[Deut 32: 18,33,38]
ZECHARIAH
“And they shall drink, and make a noise as
through wine.” [Zech 9:15]
“And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty
man, and their heart shall rejoice as through
wine.” [Zech 10:7 ]
JOHN THE REVELATOR
“If any man worshi p the beast and his image
the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, which is poured out (poured undiluted,
Amplified Version) without mixture into the
cup of his indignation.” [Rev 14:9,10]
In the Lord‟s wisdom, He used fermented spirits
over the centuries to hammer home a vital point
in the last days. Spiritual Babylon is portrayed as
having all the characteristics of a drunken man.
In terms every reader of Scripture could
understand, wicked Babylon is revealed as being
fierce and fornicating. She is drinking pure
alcohol, under judgement and insane. At last
mighty Babylon falls, only this time for good.
Woe unto them who drink the polluted wine of
Babylon. Then appears one of the most tender
appeals in the entire Bible: an Angel sent from
God pleads with humanity, “Come out of her
My people.” [Rev 18:4] We are so thankful that
God does not ridicule, but actually calls those
deceived in Babylon, those with the pure hearts,
His people. He judges not upon our knowledge
but our hearts. Do you have a heart right with
God? Do you need to set aside the drink of
spirits and come out of Babylon?

MOSES
Moses relays the pending judgement of God
upon a people who were unmindful of “The
Rock that begat thee - For their vine is of the
vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah:
their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters
are bitter: For their vine is the poison of
dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.”
