14:9-11 The third angel announces God’s judgment (14:7) on the counterfeit worship of the beast and his statue (see 13:12-18; 19:20; 20:4). God’s response to the rebellion against his reign is anger or wrath, pictured as a cup of bitter wine (see ch 16; 19:15). • fire and burning sulfur . . . smoke: This description of judgment (see also 19:20; 20:10, 14-15) echoes God’s judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen 18:16–19:28). • Those condemned to a fiery end will suffer in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb (cp. Luke 16:22-24).
