Jeremiah 13:12
12 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word;
Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle
shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto
thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle
shall be filled with wine?
At a glance, today's question looks like a positive promise from God. The people of Judah certainly saw it that way. But taken in context, we can see that the 'wine' mentioned in this question is actually the judgment of God on a rebellious people. Many commentators believe that the bottles in this passage (which were actually the clay pots or wineskins of the day) represented the people themselves. God wanted Jeremiah to understand that the people - even the national leaders - would be so intoxicated that they would be at the mercy of their enemies. The result would be the eventual destruction of Judah.
Hundreds of years after this prophesy, the apostle Paul wrote, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18). God had intended that the people of Judah find their satisfaction in being filled with Him and Him alone. He wants the same thing for us today. He wants us to understand that to be filled with His Spirit is to experience all the good things about Him - His love, His mercy, His forgiveness and His provision. The passage that includes today's question is a great reminder to make sure we let God fill us so that there's no room for anything this world has to offer.

I wonder about the connectiveness of Gods world.But its all a reality.And it repeting its self in a circle.

The Grim Reaper Preacher says great that "Try reading the Bible from cover to cover - you'll like it''. As we reading Bible cover to cover then we are connected to God. We can hear the God's speech, his greatness everything we found. It's a connection with God. God loves us all as we follow his rules then he protects us all.

Good message today.
It is full of a call that asks us to seek God and taste his presence and his well-being.
Well, it really is wonderful to know the Lord and be filled with his beautiful presence and be as he wants.
It takes effort but God does not help.
God bless you @deathlyhorror.

God wants us to be always full of Him and to get away from what can seduce us and get us out of his way. Today as you mention, there are leaders who have let themselves be seduced or let themselves be confused by things that take them away from the true path and we must pray for them, so that they can take again and be filled with good wine.

Indeed the spirit is one. Prophesies and admonitions of old still are relevant today. This goes a long way to cement the fact that it is thea same Spirit(holy spirit) of old that is today_-Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever.

Truly there is an attitude to receiving in Gods kingdom. We must constantly submit ourselves to the place where we are fully dependent upon God as our gracious father who meet all our needs. It says in Hebrews that the less is blessed by the greater.
