10. The same--Greek, "he also," as the just and
inevitable retribution.
wine of . . . wrath of God--
(Ps 75:8).
without mixture--whereas wine was so commonly mixed with
water that to mix wine is used in Greek for to pour
out wine; this wine of God's wrath is undiluted;
there is no drop of water to cool its heat. Naught of grace or hope is
blended with it. This terrible threat may well raise us above the fear
of man's threats. This unmixed cup is already mingled and
prepared for Satan and the beast's followers.
indignation--Greek, "orges," "abiding wrath," But
the Greek for "wrath" above (Greek, "thumou") is
boiling indignation, from (Greek, "thuo") a root
meaning "to boil"; this is temporary ebullition of anger; that is
lasting [AMMONIUS], and accompanied with a purpose
of vengeance [ORIGEN on Psalm 2:5].
tormented . . . in the presence of . . .
angels--
(Ps 49:14; 58:10; 139:21;
Isa 66:24).
God's enemies are regarded by the 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 visibly the judicial
vindication of God's righteousness in sinners' punishment.
