Drinking the Cup in Isaiah 51
Jesus intentionally goes to Jerusalem for Passover during the feast week when they celebrate their liberation from a pagan oppressor, Egypt. And he intentionally goes there and he pokes the bear. We know it's intense. We know he's not excited about it. So Jesus is going to experience God turning his face away. If you just think through what all these images mean, to drink the cup means to be conquered by a pagan oppressed people.
