Even those angels are involved in pouring out...
"Absolutely! The angels are involved... I agree!"
However, I endeavor to always consider what scripture-as-a-whole says about something...
2 Thessalonians 1:
[SUP]7[/SUP] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, [SUP]8[/SUP] In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Revelation 19:
[SUP]11[/SUP] And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. [SUP]12[/SUP] His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. [SUP]13[/SUP] And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. [SUP]14[/SUP] And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. [SUP]15[/SUP] And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. [SUP]16[/SUP] And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. [SUP]17[/SUP] And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; [SUP]18[/SUP] That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Would you say that 'he' is the Lord Jesus Christ?
What do you make of this?:
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
Don't push it aside, cover it over, and forget it. It is a part of scripture that must be considered -- all scripture must agree - remember?
Read it - again and again - until it sinks in...
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God
This is indicating that Jesus "administrates" the "pouring out" of the vials.
In other words, Jesus Himself 'dispenses' the Wrath of God upon the world.
Revelation 15:
[SUP]1[/SUP] And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
.
.
.
[SUP]5[/SUP] And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened: [SUP]6[/SUP] And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles. [SUP]7[/SUP] And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
'vials' => "the wrath of God"
Who 'dispenses' the Wrath of God upon the world? ( all seven vials )
Jesus!
Notice how that the "great voice out of the temple" instructed the angels to "pour out" their vials of the wrath of God...
Sounds like it is referring to Almighty God [ the Father ] - right?
Do you honestly think that there are literal 'vials' -
containing ( read this two ways ) the [ literal ] Wrath of God...???
Don't get totally lost in the
illustration of it:
~ Almighty God "puts forth" the "fierceness and wrath of Almighty God"
~ Angels "pour" it into a winepress
~ Jesus "treadeth the winepress"
Look at all of the scriptures concerning the 'winepress' of the Wrath of God.
Do you understand what the phrase "treadeth the winepress" means - in terms of the definition of 'winepress' from ~2000 years ago?
Where does 'the Wrath of God' ultimately actually come from? Almighty God the Father - right?
Does this help you understand how that it is Jesus that 'dispenses' the Wrath of God upon the world?
