Inner Vine of Isaiah 16:9
Isaiah 16:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 16 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of lament for a fallen harvest and a ruined vineyard. It uses the imagery to signal inner loss and longing.
Neville's Inner Vision
I hear Isaiah’s lament as the language of your own inner state. The vine of Sibmah, the vineyards named, are not places you travel to, but dispositions of consciousness you carry within. The cry of harvest fallen reveals a belief that life’s fruits depend on conditions outside you. When you feel the ache—the tears that would water the land—you are only noticing the I AM, your true awareness, momentarily identified with lack. Neville would say: imagine you are the water that nourishes your inner vine; let the tears flow as compassion, not as evidence of failure. In that moment, you stop chasing harvests in the world and invite the inner seasons into bloom. As you dwell in the I AM, the sense of absence dissolves; the vineyard fills with living fruit, and the harvest appears as a natural expression of consciousness. Do not struggle to change things; revise your state of being, and the outer shifts will follow.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes. Assume the I AM now waters your inner vineyard with compassionate tears; feel the harvest returning.
