Jeremiah 25:15
Excerpted from: Do You See God?

We could go on to Jeremiah 25:15, where Jeremiah was put through a severe test. It must have been a very severe test for him. He was told to take a cup of God's wrath, the wine of His wrath. Now, we understand that that wine was just symbolic, but the job that Jeremiah was given to do was not symbolic. It might have been symbolic or parallel to the work of the church at the end time.

Jeremiah was commanded by God to go from nation to nation, all the enemies of Judah. One by one, he was to take them a cup of wine. And then he was to make the kings of those nations drink that wine. If they refused to drink it, Jeremiah was told, You will make them drink it! God must have given him the force of personality - or whatever - to make those men take that cup and to drink the wine. And then it says, last of all, he was to take it to Sheshach. Do you know what Sheshach is? It is a code name for Babylon.

Is there a parallel in this work [of Herbert W. Armstrong]? Do you see God in this work? Is this work going from nation to nation? Is it taking, in a sense, the cup of wine of God's wrath and telling what will occur in these nations? What will occur on earth? Last of all, are we going to go to Babylon, and they, too, will have to drink that cup?
