Footnotes
*Yayin chamar* ("foaming/seething wine") — the root *chamar* means to boil up or ferment turbulently, evoking wine at peak volatile fermentation. *Mesekh* ("mixed/spiced") does not mean diluted (as Greek custom would have it) but concentrated, intensified with spices or other intoxicants — the opposite of weakened. The cup of divine wrath (*kos*) is a major prophetic symbol (Isa. 51:17; Jer. 25:15; Ezek. 23:31–34), and the motif reaches its typological apex in Revelation 14:10 and Gethsemane, where Yeshua/Jesus prays that the cup might pass. The *shemarim* ("dregs/lees") are the sediment that sinks to the bottom — to drain even the dregs is to experience judgment to its absolute end, nothing withheld, nothing numbed. FOG renders the turbulent physicality of the wine; FOG Message foregrounds the inevitability and totality of the draining.
