"Why are your garments red, and your garments red like those who tread the winepress?" "I have tread the winepress alone; there was no one with me of the peoples. I have trodden them in my anger, I have trampled them in my wrath; their blood has sprinkled on my garments, and I have polluted all my garments." [Isaiah 63:2-3]

I've heard that the phrase "grape treading" that appears in many places in the Bible symbolizes "God's judgment," but what does this mean? Could you please explain?

Yes, of course. Grape treading is a symbolic expression often used in the Bible, especially in the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Revelation, to mean God's judgment.
To get a concrete image of grape treading, imagine the scene of ancient people stomping on grapes with their feet to make wine to get drunk. Therefore, this act is often depicted as "crushing sin and injustice." In other words, it symbolizes God's exercise of justice without overlooking injustice.
In Isaiah 63:2-3, it is written, "I tread the winepress alone; there was no one with me of the peoples." This shows that God has his own power and authority, and that he does not need help in judgment.
As we read the Bible, we will be able to understand the depth of God's justice and love. It can sometimes be harsh, but behind it there is always hope for salvation and forgiveness.
Please try to deepen the teachings of the Bible while maintaining peace of mind. 😊❤️
