The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
The same - `he also,' as the just, inevitable retribution (Psalms 75:8).
Without mixture. Wine was so commonly mixed with water, that to mix wine is used for to pour out wine. This wine of God's wrath is undiluted: no drop of water to cool its heat. Nought of grace or hope blended with it. God's threat may well raise us above fear of man's threats. This unmixed cup is already mingled for Satan and the beast's followers.
Indignation - wrath х orgees (G3709)], 'abiding.' But "wrath" above х thumou (G2372)] is boiling indignation, from х thuoo (G2380)] a root to boil: temporary ebullition of anger [Ammonius: orgee (G3709)], accompanied with a purpose of vengeance (Origen, 'On Psalms 2:5 ').
Tormented ... in the presence of the holy angels - (Psalms 49:14; Psalms 58:10; Psalms 139:21; Isaiah 66:24.) God's enemies are regarded by saints as their enemies; and when the day of probation is past, their mind shall be so entirely one with God's, that they shall rejoice in witnessing God's righteousness judicially vindicated in sinners' punishment.
