Significance

Psalm 75:8 describes a cup in YHWH's hand full of foaming, mixed wine that He pours out and all the wicked of the earth must drain to the dregs. John alludes to this imagery in describing the wine of God's wrath poured "unmixed" (akratou) into the cup of His anger. The shift from "mixed" in the Psalm to "unmixed/undiluted" in Revelation represents an escalation — the eschatological judgment is untempered, full-strength divine fury. The Hebrew kos (cup) becomes a recurring prophetic symbol (Isa 51:17, 22; Jer 25:15-16), and John draws on this entire tradition to depict the final reckoning for beast-worshippers. The allusion grounds Revelation's apocalyptic judgment in the Psalter's theology of divine justice.
