“For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.”
King James Version (KJV)

This is medically possible if one is under great mental duress. When this happens it causes the capillaries to open up and you sweat blood. You have to remember his father was showing him what he was going to go through. Jesus's death had to be of his own freewill. That is why he asked his father " to take this cup from me, not my will but thine be done" . Jesus was so tortured that he was unrecognizable as a man. We read this in psalm 22 which describes his crucifixion. He says I am no more a man I am a worm. This worm that he refers to was used to dye clothes scarlet. He was so beaten for 24 hours that he was unrecognizable. This is why that had to get one Simon of Cyrene to carry his cross. You have to read all the gospels to price together and get a full picture of his crucifixion. I hope this helps, and may God bless you in your thirst for knowledge and understanding.

Recently, I was pondering in my mind with the LORD about this account & I knew there would be a discussion about this. For some of us it's easier to fight, much more difficult to submit to circumstances beyond our control; especially when it's unjust. I relate with Peter. I was thinking how Peter had come to the realization the Jesus was the CHRIST, MESSIAH. Jesus had just said : Luke 22:27-30.
Is there much more knowledge we're supposed to get from this?
Luke 22:36, Luke 22:38, 2 swords enough? Do you think Jesus was being literal or testing them? Do you feel the act of aggregation saved the Disciples? John 18:8-9, ( I've thought that) but look at: John 18:10. "Then._." it seems to be after Jesus had already set their pardon.
Luke 22:40,42, Luke 22:43-46, Matthew 26:36-44, Mark 14:33-39, Zechariah 13:7, ( Mark 14:27 , Matthew 26:56 )
Matthew 16:15-27,
*Mark 14:27, offended? Matthew 26:33-35,
Mark 14:42-50, Luke 22:47-51, John 18:10-11, Matthew 26:50-52, Were they offended because Jesus didn't fight, nor let them? after He had said to get swords? Would we be offended if Jesus healed our enemy, we thought we were defending Him from? Then rebuke them/Peter or us openly? John 18:6, Matthew 26:53,
Luke 22:54, John 18:15, Why did Peter follow? Luke 22:33, Where is our strength? In our flesh & resolve, or GOD & HIS will?
Mark 14:29-31,
Luke 22:55-62,
Matthew 10:17-22, Matthew 10:28-34,
Acts 12:1-12,
Romans 8:34-39,
Ephesians 6:10-18,
Do you think it was much easier to fight? Matthew 26:41, Luke 22:32,
Isaiah 55:8-9,

Verse 35 Jesus was saying how things were when he had been with them. Jesus in Verse 36 tells them he is giving them a change of orders.. (but now let him.. take his money back pack of gear, (i.e. script, where the word conscript comes from for a soldier, con meaning with and script a soliders backpack.) And their sword. Verse 37. He says this because it must be that the profesies about the crusifiction (numbers among the transgressors.. i.e. the thieves on either side of him on the cross) must be fufilled and this is his marching orders of how he wants us to be as we fulfill the great commission that he gave before he left. Sadly many Christian no longer follow Jesus Christ commandments to carry cash, backpack first aid and survival gear, and a sword (pistol or personal defences weapon/rifle etc) when every they go anywhere. I wonder how many people needlessly died because of disobeance of Christians unable to help those in need or heathen where provoked and encouraged to sin by attacking Christian's because following this command isn't common place. When old testament saints did this in Nehemiahs day agression and attacks were averted.

Revelations clearly states those who call themselves Jews are not why is this overlooked.

I think I might like this place. It will be nice to talk to Christians I don't know.
Dan's comment on 2020-08-05 12:06:03:
The Book of Revelation is often referred to as the Revelation of Saint John the Divine.
The title of the book can be found in Revelation 1:1
"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John."
The words of God, given to Jesus, sent and signified by His angel to John.

Interesting point you make explains why through hurricane katrina the usa residents to get relief had to support israel even now with trump they have to sign they support israel for covid_19 payments and why trump made jerusalem the capitol of israel,so your point on israel makes some sense
Mishael's comment on 2020-08-04 17:42:05:
I will surely check into that. I thought that Jesus was at a dinner with the Pharisees-in which Mary Magdalene rushed in to show gratitude by washing Jesus's feet in tears and anointing them with expensive ointment. Jesus was arrested the next evening. By dawn He was ordered to be whipped 40 lashes.
I'll write later on it.
Carleton's comment on 2020-08-04 15:32:07:
There are more than a few born again believers that believe that it is much later than we tend to think in the Book of Revelation. The same believe that the virgins with oil in their lamps are ready for the Bridegroom when he comes.
Revelation 22:20
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly, Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 3:11
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man may take your crown.
COVENANTS OF GOD's comment on 2020-08-04 12:54:21:
He used wine to represent the blood of Gods Lamb in the instituting of the New Covenant. After Jesus died on the Cross, the Veil (which is Huge) was torn from top to bottom, signifying that the death of the sacrifice, The Lamb of God; that God had provided, was completed. The New Covenant was in force. The Old Covenant had passed away: was torn in half.
The Blood of Jesus RATIFIES the Covenant.
You can slowly read the Covenant that God performed with Abraham in Genesis 15
This is the Covenant that gives Modern Day Israel, the Deed to the Land of Israel.
It's not recorded in a Courthouse. It is recorded in the Bible; and has been there for thousands of years.
It's a legal covenant and the entire planet knows this. That's why they plot and try to force Israel to sign it away: in the 2 State Solution. You should track the progress of that on JerusalemPost on the internet every day.
The whole world is come against Israel settling and building on land that God has clearly given them!! The Palestinians KNOW that land belongs to Israel. Peace in return for breaking Covenant with God. That's what Satan wants. He thinks he will have defeated God if he can make that happen.
Look how small Israel is. It's tiny. Ask yourself WHY is it necessary for the World to go after Israel for this land? It's a heavenly war! It's A COVENANT that GOD ratified HIMSELF.
Jesus paid IN FULL WITH HIS OWN BLOOD to secure ALL SOULS who would come to God for salvation: For GOD so loved the world: John 3:15-18
I'm going to say it cause no one else wants to: Joe Biden has said to news media, that he intends to push the 2 State Solution, or cut ties with Israel.
"Blessed is the Nation who Blesses Israel."
If he does that, then the USA is going to suffer even more than it is now. Then we'll have a bulls-eye drawn into our backs.
Everyone must hurry, change your mind now, Be Born Again NOW! Get your loved ones saved ASAP. Wake up. Quit listening to national news!!
Greg's comment on 2020-08-04 05:19:31:
The "Last Supper"
Wesley refers to the day Christ died as the day of Passover.
The day of the "Last Supper" was not the day of Passover, but the day BEFORE Passover, also called the "Preparation Day"
John 19:14
"And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!"
To understand the timeline, it must be understood that a Hebrew day begins at SUNSET.

You didn't respond to my specifi question all you did was send me the subsequent scriptures to Luke 22 vs 18. Please respond interms of yes or no. Was it wine or not that was in the cup in Luke 22 vs 18?
God bless

Luke 2218 the Last Supper with Jesus's comment on 2020-08-03 13:54:19:
The commentary:
Wesley's Notes for Luke 22:18
22:16 For I will not eat thereof any more - That is, it will be the last I shall eat with you before I die. The kingdom of God did not properly commence till his resurrection. Then was fulfilled what was typified by the passover.
22:17 And he took the cup - That cup which used to be brought at the beginning of the paschal solemnity, and said, Take this and divide it among yourselves; for I will not drink - As if he had said, Do not expect me to drink of it: I will drink no more before I die.
22:19 And he took bread - Namely, some time after, when supper was ended, wherein they had eaten the paschal lamb. This is my body - As he had just now celebrated the paschal supper, which was called the passover, so in like figurative language, he calls this bread his body. And this circumstance of itself was sufficient to prevent any mistake, as if this bread was his real body, any more than the paschal lamb was really the passover.
22:20 This cup is the New Testament - Here is an undeniable figure, whereby the cup is put for the wine in the cup. And this is called, The New Testament in Christ's blood, which could not possibly mean, that it was the New Testament itself, but only the seal of it, and the sign of that blood which was shed to confirm it.

Where is the commentary on Luke 22 vs 18.? What was the fruit of the wine. Actual wine or grape juice.?
