“Jesus was referring to the fourth cup, the cup of consummation which he drank from a sponge of Calvary.”


The ‘drink’ during His crucifixion was vinegar mingled with gall, not the “fruit of the vine”:

Mat 27:34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

The cup he was referencing at the Lord’s Supper was the cup filled with wine which He declared was the cup of the covenant and His blood:

Mat 26:27-29 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; (28) For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. (29) But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

It was not vinegar, it was "oxos", a cheap and sour old wine mixed with water that was drunk by Roman soldiers.

Wine that over ferments or becomes contaminated turns to Vinegar.

There Are three stages: 1) Mustum, which is pre-fermetnation. 2) Wine, which is the fermented product. and 3) Vinegar, wine that has turned or been contaminated.

Ask any Chemistry teacher or chemist.
