They which drink alcohol, will be blind even as they (Pharisees, who claimed not to be blind, as Laodicea), and this no small danger, for the blind will fall into a ditch, and the spiritual ditch is the very Whore of Babylon – Rome, whose wine is intoxicating [in both actually Golden cup and in her doctrine], and they will do the will of Rome, and teach their doctrines and receive of their mark:
Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? Matthew 15:12
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Matthew 15:13 (are you of the Vine Christ Jesus, or of the Vine of Sodom?)
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matthew 15:14 (see Isaiah 28, the priests and prophets became blind, could not see, through the wrong "wine")
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? Luke 6:39
For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. Proverbs 23:27
She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men. Proverbs 23:28
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? Proverbs 23:29 [babbling, Babylon]
They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Proverbs 23:30
Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. Proverbs 23:31
At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Proverbs 23:32
Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. Proverbs 23:33
Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. Proverbs 23:34
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. Proverbs 23:35
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: Revelation 17:1
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Revelation 17:2
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. Revelation 17:3
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: Revelation 17:4
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17:5
Did you notice that the Great Whore has harlot daughters, that teach as she does, and are like her in doctrines of traditions and practices, in hypocrisy and blasphemies? Beware of the wine which she has in her cup, for that which she giveth, she will receive double from the LORD [Revelation 18:6]:
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians 10:21 (there are two cups, and that which is in them, as different as night and day, evil and good, bitter and sweet, sin and righteousness)
Take the Cup of Salvation from the hand of the Lord, and pass from the cup of sin and iniquity from the hand of the other:
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD. Psalms 116:13
