Redemption Cup & the Cup of Trembling

“Jesus took a cup… 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.??Matthew 26:26-27

?"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.?Zechariah 12:2

The Christian Communion cup remembers the salvation of Jesus through His sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection. Jesus instituted Communion at the Passover Sader meal or last supper with His disciples. This connection with Passover is all but forgotten by Christians because of antisemitism throughout church history. This article reveals the importance of the Jewish roots of Christianity and reflects on the current circumstances of global antisemitism against Jews around the world and Israel prophesied as a “cup of trembling” to the nations. Christians, churches, and nations are admonished to bless Israel and be blessed, to partake of the cup of redemption not the cup of trembling…

The ancient rivalry against the Jewish people and nation amplified throughout history since in the Garden of Eden Satan sought to destroy God’s plan for all humankind. The only solution for Jew and Gentile, the church, and all nations is to accept God’s full redemptive plan. Bless Israel, and be blessed. (Genesis 12:3)?Receive the salvation of Jesus and be transformed by His grace. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Acknowledge the Jewish roots of the Christian faith and unite in Jesus. (Romans 11:11-12) Support the Jewish people and pray for peace in Israel. (Psalm 122:6) End the unbiblical call to divide the land of Israel for establishment of a Palestinian state. (Joel 3:2,?Ezekiel 47:14) Acknowledge and embrace the Biblical gospel plan for all Israel to be saved:?Romans 11:25-32?This Passover and Resurrection Day, partake of the cup of redemption not the cup of trembling! Praise the name above all names,?Yeshua Hamashiach, the Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ!
