The goblet-cup holds significant symbolic and practical importance throughout the Scriptures, appearing in various contexts that highlight its role in daily life, religious rituals, and metaphorical teachings.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The goblet-cup is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, often in the context of feasting and celebration. In <a href="/genesis/40-11.htm">Genesis 40:11</a>, the cupbearer to Pharaoh recounts his dream to Joseph, saying, "Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes, squeezed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in his hand." This passage illustrates the cup's role in royal service and its association with authority and honor.<br><br>In <a href="/psalms/23-5.htm">Psalm 23:5</a>, the psalmist declares, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Here, the overflowing cup symbolizes abundance and divine blessing, reflecting God's provision and care for His people.<br><br>The cup also appears in prophetic literature, often as a symbol of judgment. In <a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15</a>, the Lord instructs the prophet, "Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it." The cup of wrath signifies the impending judgment and punishment that God will pour out on the nations for their iniquities.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the cup takes on profound theological significance, particularly in the context of the Last Supper. During this pivotal event, Jesus uses the cup as a symbol of the new covenant. In <a href="/matthew/26-27.htm">Matthew 26:27-28</a>, Jesus "took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'" The cup here represents the sacrificial blood of Christ, establishing a new relationship between God and humanity through His atoning death.<br><br>The cup also serves as a metaphor for the suffering and sacrifice that Jesus would endure. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will" (<a href="/matthew/26-39.htm">Matthew 26:39</a>). The cup symbolizes the impending suffering and crucifixion that Jesus willingly accepts in obedience to the Father's will.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Application</b><br><br>Throughout Scripture, the goblet-cup is a multifaceted symbol. It represents both blessing and judgment, abundance and suffering. In the context of the Lord's Supper, the cup becomes a central element of Christian worship, reminding believers of Christ's sacrifice and the new covenant established through His blood.<br><br>The imagery of the cup challenges believers to consider their own lives in light of God's provision and judgment. It calls for reflection on the blessings received from God and the responsibilities that come with them. The cup also serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship, as followers of Christ are called to share in His sufferings and to live in obedience to His will.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Goblet-cup (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/isaiah/51-22.htm">Isaiah 51:22</a></span><br />thus saith thy Lord, Jehovah, and thy God, who pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I take out of thy hand the cup of bewilderment, the <span class="boldtext">goblet-cup</span> of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:<br /><span class="source">(DBY)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/g/goblet-cup.htm"><span class="l"><b>Goblet</b>-<b>cup</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>Goblet</b>-<b>cup</b>.
