We are in the season where we are about to drink from the cup of trembling. This is the bitter cup that our Messiah took for us, the cup of jealousy that he passed with flying colors. In Matthews 20:20-28 the mother of James and John engage in a conversation concerning where they wanted to sit when Yeshua came into His Father’s kingdom. This question, of course, infuriated the disciples, and Yeshua asks them a question. “Are you able to drink from the cup that my Father has given unto me”. Of course, at that time they had no clue what that cup would be. We see in the greed of Judas, how the love of money blinded him to continue to follow the truth and instead carved his own path to success, that ended in demise. Likewise, Judas is a type of the Great Men of the Earth who have quickly put in place their schemes so that they could increase their wealth and influence, but like Judas, they don’t know who they are selling out, and furthermore don’t understand their history to know our God who will bring us out. We, on the other hand, need to know who is calling the shots in our life, who the buck stops with. Whether or not we are paying lip service to the Most High or have indeed given our hearts to him. The Coming Cup of Trembling is intended to engage us in the here and now and cause us to ask ourselves the hard questions that life until this point has distracted us from asking. There is a cup coming, that we all need to be prepared to drink from, and for many of us that cup will not be able to pass from us.
