"EVERY LARGE JAR IS SOMETHING THAT GETS
FILLED WITH WINE."    (From Jeremiah 13:1-23).

THE REASON WHY GOD HAS REMOVED HIS MERCY AND COMPASSION.
"And you must say to them this word, 'This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said: Every large jar is something that gets filled with wine.' And they will certainly say to you, 'Do we not positively know that every large jar is something that gets filled with wine?' And you must say to them, 'This is what Jehovah has said: "Here I am filling all the inhabitants of this land and the kings that are sitting for David upon his throne and the priests and the prophets and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with drunkenness. And I will dash them one against another, both the fathers and the sons, at the same time," is the utterance of Jehovah. "I shall show no compassion, nor feel any sorrow, and I shall not have the mercy to keep from bringing them to ruin.'""  (Jer 13:12-14).

THE SYMBOLIC "LINEN BELT" OF BEAUTY
IN JEHOVAH THEY RUINED. (See Jer 13:1-11).
Jehovah gave this portent to Jeremiah so that all mankind would understand His Judgements over them. His decision over peoples concerns their unchangeable stubbornness of heart and gross pride in worshipping false gods.* (See Pages 26/7/84 & 31/7/84 of The Signal as an example). Jehovah God asks: "What will you say when you suffer because your leaders cannot be found, though it was you who trained them to be your head?"  (13:21 NEB). Another example* is the "disgusting thing" "standing in a holy place". These teraphim are family gods.  (For evidence see Pages 863A and 849).

THE "LARGE JAR" AND "DRUNKENNESS".
Having been without Spirit "wine" of God for such a long time as a consequence of their deliberate rejection of its supply through His anointed temple sons (1 Cor 3:16,17), to suddenly be filled with such a large quantity of His Spirit beyond one's spiritual development will cause apostates spirit "drunkenness". (13:13). The "Little Scroll" is the fine "wine" of God. The disciplinary nature of the Spirit of this "wine" was intended for their spirit readjustment.  (Eph 4:12,13).

The irreversible consequences are that Jehovah will fill his enemies with the Spirit of His condemnation. Evidence that Jehovah has already begun to dash "one against another, both the fathers and the sons, at the same time" is the prevalence of wars on earth. Since 1983, millions have been embroiled in fighting being waged in 75 countries, causing an estimated death toll of 40,000 per month. Millions more have died through drought, famine and disease. Oh, the potency of His "wine"! They are being dashed "one against another" on the exalted "mountains" of their false gods and demonic teachings causing their gloom. (13:16). This Judgement of God is the consequence of having conditioned themselves and/or other humans as gods (as  false prophets, apostate priests and visionaries of their own making, etc). (13:13). Schooled in evil, they have become as unchangeable as a leopard's spots. (13:23 NEB). When  they drink the Spirit "wine" of Judgement from God, there will be no mercy, only ruination.  (13:14).

As a modern-day example: It would have been far better for Ethiopians (Nubians, Cushites) to have become accustomed to the discipline of the Spirit "wine" of God as it was made known through His anointed temple class, so that they could carry out the Lord's requirements in their lives. For then, the potency and quantity of the Spirit "wine" from God would not cause them spirit "drunkenness" and ruin through having to drink it all at once in the Judgement of God.
