What does Revelation 14:10 mean?

The third angel tells what will happen to the beast's followers. Every one of them will be the object of God's full wrath. God is depicted as pouring out His judgment like undiluted wine into the cup of His anger. Psalm 75:8 states: "For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs."

Here, the wine of God's wrath is described as "full strength." It was common in prior eras to mix "straight" alcoholic liquids, such as wine, into fairly large amounts of water. Undiluted wine was considered sour, strong, and distastefully bitter. By analogy, unrepentant sinners will find it extremely difficult to drink the wine of God's wrath. According to Revelation 14:10, every unrepentant sinner will be vexed with fire and sulfur. The worshipers of the beast chose to follow the Devil, and they will follow him into judgment in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:7–15). The holy angels and Jesus, the Lamb, will observe the judgment of those who worship the beast.
