The Cups of the Cross: Cana, Gethsemane, and Golgotha - Episode 130

What does it mean that Jesus drank the cup—and said he would not drink again until the kingdom came? What is that mysterious cup that Jesus didn't want to drink? In this final episode on alcohol in Scripture and with the help of Mark Scarlata's book, Wine, Soil, and Salvation, Carey draws together themes of covenant, celebration, and sacrifice as she explores the messianic banquet and the wisdom of wine.    From the wedding at Cana to the crucifixion, wine serves as a sign of joy, a symbol of suffering, and a seal of the kingdom to come. Carey reflects on the contrast between Jesus and John the Baptist, the priestly significance of wine, and the long-awaited marriage supper of the Lamb.    Along the way, you'll discover:   How the Second Temple leads up to the New Testament   Why Jesus' first miracle wasn't random   How wine becomes covenantal communication   What the difference between John and Jesus reveals about divine calling   Why the cup Jesus took matters for every believer   And what the final feast will taste like   This is the final vintage in a full-bodied biblical theology series on alcohol.  Come thirsty.   Website: genesismarksthespot.com   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GenesisMarkstheSpot   Music credit: "Marble Machine" by Wintergatan  Link to Wintergatan’s website: https://wintergatan.net/  Link to the original Marble Machine video by Wintergatan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q&ab_channel=Wintergatan Chapters (00:00:00) - The Banquet to Come(00:03:18) - The Second Temple Vintage(00:09:46) - Enoch's Feast(00:14:19) - Jubilee's Joy - Wine in the Passover(00:15:40) - Walking Past the Second Temple - 2 Baruch/4 Ezra(00:17:58) - Dead Sea Scrolls - Calendar and New Wine Festival(00:21:13) - Damascus Rule - Not Messing Around with those Greeks(00:25:07) - New Testament: Jesus vs John, Epic Showdown!(00:31:39) - Wedding at Cana: Jesus Opens the Banquet(00:35:03) - Mary, Eve, and the Hour(00:39:17) - Dionysus has Nothing on Jesus(00:40:29) - Old Wine, Old Covenant??(00:43:17) - "Eucharist"(00:47:35) - Jesus as the Paschal Lamb--but Wait!
