POISONOUS VINE: FALSE GOSPELS?

De 32:33 Their WINE (their gospel?) is the #poison# of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

De 32:32 For their VINE is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their GRAPES are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be association vineyard and wine with His Word or the Gospel. To be drunken with wine or to be given the wine of God’s wrath seems to be a reference to God allowing Babylon (antichrists) to rule in tribulation / judgment with a deceptive gospel.
