### Core Meaning & Semantic Range

Though rare, its usage is concentrated in powerful imagery concerning divine judgment, where it is used to describe the preparation of a symbolic drink.
### Biblical Occurrences & Contextual Analysis
In the book of Revelation, `{{G2767}}` is used exclusively to depict the administration of God's wrath and retribution. It describes God's judgment as a substance being prepared for consumption. In one instance, the wine of God's wrath is **poured out** without mixture into the cup of His indignation for those who worship the beast [[Revelation 14:10]]. In another context, a voice from heaven commands that the great city Babylon be repaid by having a cup **filled** for her, a punishment that is double what she herself had **filled** for others [[Revelation 18:6]].
### Related Words & Concepts
Several related words clarify the context and gravity of the action described by `{{G2767}}`:
* `{{G194}}` **ákratos** (without mixture): This word, meaning "undiluted," directly qualifies the action in [[Revelation 14:10]]. It emphasizes that the wrath of God being poured out is pure and unmitigated.
* `{{G4221}}` **potḗrion** (cup): This term for a "drinking-vessel" or, figuratively, a "lot or fate," serves as the container for the divine judgment that is poured out or filled in both of the word's scriptural appearances ([[Revelation 14:10]], [[Revelation 18:6]]).
* `{{G1363}}` **diplóō** (to render two-fold): Used in [[Revelation 18:6]], this verb commands that the cup of judgment be made **double**, intensifying the act of filling `{{G2767}}` and highlighting the principle of amplified retribution.
* `{{G2372}}` **thymós** (wrath): Defined as "passion (as if breathing hard)," this word specifies the substance being **poured out** `{{G2767}}` in the cup of judgment, identifying it as the fierce wrath of God [[Revelation 14:10]].
### Theological Significance
The theological weight of `{{G2767}}` is found in its specific application to divine judgment.
* **The Cup of Divine Wrath:** The act of pouring or filling `{{G2767}}` is a preparatory step for administering judgment. This is most clearly seen in the "wine of the wrath of God, which is **poured out**" [[Revelation 14:10]]. The action signifies that a fate has been sealed and is ready to be served.
* **Unmitigated Judgment:** The base definition of `{{G2767}}` is "to mingle," yet it is used in conjunction with `{{G194}}` **ákratos**, meaning "without mixture" or "undiluted." This powerful contrast in [[Revelation 14:10]] illustrates that God's judgment, in this context, is pure and absolute, with no mercy mixed in.
* **Retributive Justice:** In [[Revelation 18:6]], the command to **fill** `{{G2767}}` a cup for Babylon is directly linked to her own **works** `{{G2041}}`. The judgment is a direct response to her actions, with the measure being doubled, indicating a just and severe recompense.
### Summary
In summary, `{{G2767}}` **keránnymi** is more than a simple word for mingling or pouring. Its few but potent appearances in Scripture cast it as a term of immense theological gravity. Used exclusively in Revelation, it describes the deliberate and final preparation of divine judgment, whether as a cup of **poured out**, undiluted wrath or a cup **filled** double as a measure of retribution. It powerfully illustrates how a single action can represent the finality and severity of God's response to sin.
