"THE GOBLET, MY CUP OF RAGE". (Isaiah 51:22).

"Rouse yourself, rouse yourself, rise up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of Jehovah His cup of rage. The goblet, the cup causing reeling, you have drunk, you have drained out." (51:17).

"THESE DAYS RECALL FOR ME THE DAYS OF NOAH". (54:9 NEB).
"The goblet, My cup of rage   you will not repeat the drinking of it anymore." "I will give it instead to your tormentors and oppressors
" (51:22,23 NWT & NEB). "These days" that Jehovah likens to the days of Noah (of His promise never again to flood the whole earth) is His promise to faithful anointed sons of Zion that He will never again become indignant toward them or rebuke them. (54:9). What does this mean? That it was by His wrath that the denunciations of the "Little Scroll" were compiled. Now we watch for the time appointed by Jehovah for the ending of His wrath, as He has promised through members of the heavenly "woman" (54:9,10. 51:22); putting the Spirit of His wrath into the hands of the ones tormenting and oppressing us instead. (51:23 NEB). I, a member of the heavenly "woman" have been used to declare knowledge of the wrath of God, of "the One that is speaking", Jehovah. (52:6). It is not only what offends Jehovah that we wish brought to an end, but also His appointed wrath, so that "something better" is then published: "Your God has become King!" (52:7).

"MY NAME WAS BEING TREATED WITH DISRESPECT". (52:5B).
As soon as knowledge of their disrespect for Jehovah was revealed to them, apostates occupying His spiritual "land" (Zion*) sold His faithful anointed sons into "Egypt" for nothing. (52:4). But from these "devastated places" they are being repurchased. (52:3,9). The extent of this disrespect for His Name was clearly seen during the compilation, by Spirit, of the "Little Scroll". (Rev 10:8-11). "For that reason My people will know My Name, even for that reason in that day, because I am the One that is speaking. Look! It is I." (52:6). Amen, Father.

AFTERWARDS WITH HIS "SIGNAL"
(49:22) "SOMETHING BETTER" (52:7).
With His Signal Jehovah God will bare "His holy arm before the eyes of all the nations" (52:10), which currently is "as a thief" concerning Egypt, Ethiopia, Lebanon, the "contemptible creature", and the "disgusting thing". (Rev 16:15. 1 Thess 5:2,3). While our enemies proclaim "Peace and Security!" the baring of His holy arm will remove "haughtily exultant ones" (Zeph 3:11), progressively freeing us. With our own eyes we shall see the Lord returning in pity to Zion. (52:8 NEB). "Something better" is news of our deliverance. (52:7 NEB NWT).

"In Zion* sinners quake with terror, the Godless are seized with trembling and ask, Can any of us live with a devouring fire? Can any live in endless burning?" (33:14 NEB).

                  The handing over of the "cup of rage" of God into the hand of
                  those tormenting and oppressing us (Isaiah 51:21-23 NWT NEB):
