Exodus 6:6-7 (NIV) Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. ⁷ I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

The Cup of Sanctification – Salvation.
The Cup of Deliverance – Freedom.
The Cup of Redemption – Restoration.
The Cup of Praise – Fulfilment.
