Neville Goddard on Amos 9:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Amos 9 in context

Scripture Focus

13Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

Amos 9:13-14

Biblical Context

Amos 9:13-14 speaks of a coming age of abundance and restoration, where former desolation becomes a garden and the exiles return to rebuild their cities and vineyards. It promises rapid harvest after planting, and a full reversal of captivity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the promise, the real drama is not geography but consciousness. The 'days come' is your awareness declaring a new state of being. The plowman overtaking the reaper is the inner rhythm when your dominant assumption loses time to your creative act; the effort of sowing and the joy of harvest converge in the present, and obstacles melt like mountains turning to wine. The captivity of my people is your own mistaken identifications, your belief that you are separated from your good; when you accept that you are I AM, the true Israel, you are led back to your homeland of complete possibility. To build waste cities, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit is to reconstruct your inner world with loves, memories, and talents that were always yours in consciousness. This renewal is not future tense but now when imagination aligns with feeling and conviction.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes now; assume the state where you live as the person who has already rebuilt the inner cities. Feel the wine, the fruit, and the gardens as present sensations.
