2 | Is the drunkenness figurative? | Jer 13:13 | Mommapbs | 28236 | ||
I believe the reference to drunkenness in this passage is spiritual and therefore figurative. My immediate response to your question took me to passages in Revelation. Revelation 17:2 . . . the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality. I feel Paul explains this quite well in Romans 1:18-32. Because of mankind's refusal of God, as a result of this choice, He allowed our foolish minds to be darkened. I believe the drunkenness Jeremiah is talking about is akin to a mind without God - limited, impaired, confused, rebellious, immoral, unable to make sound judgments or wise decisions, etc. . . Physical drunkenness sometimes leads to death; but death is always the result of spiritual drunkenness! There is no difference for Jews or Gentiles: those who refuse Jesus (the new wine from the True Vine!)" . . . will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb." Revelation 14:10 |
