Actually, most Christians do not know the symbolism behind the cup from which Christ told His disciples to drink anyway. Research the Jewish betrothal ritual. You will find the symbolic meaning behind the cup at the Last Supper in that.

Thanks for the FYI regarding the Jewish betrothal ritual. The symbolism is amazing!

Yep. And it puts Paul’s words in context when he talks about the relationship between a husband and wife being like the relationship between Christ and His church.

Now, if you look in Revelation, the woman riding the red beast is holding a cup in her hand, but she refuses to drink. That woman is Israel’s apostate priesthood.
