Inner Vineyard Revelation

Isaiah 5:1-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Isaiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

1Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Isaiah 5:1-7

Biblical Context

Isaiah 5:1-7 uses the vineyard metaphor to show God’s disappointment with Israel’s fruitlessness and the coming judgment; the vineyard stands for the people and their inner state of justice and righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment you hear the beloved singer describe a vineyard tended on a very fruitful hill—the hill of your consciousness. The beloved is the I AM within you, the divine awareness that tends this inner ground. He fences it, gathers stones, plants the choicest vine, builds a tower, and even makes a winepress—these are your inner disciplines, the boundaries, the focused attention, and the sacred routines by which you cultivate consciousness. When the fruit is wild grapes, you are identifying fear, resentment, or habit as your reality, instead of your true state of I AM. You are invited to judge between the I AM and appearances, to question what more could be done to bring forth true fruit. The threatening acts—removing hedge, breaking walls, withholding rain—speak not of punishment from without but of an inner drought, a call to revise your assumption of lack. The vineyard is your inward covenant; look for justice and righteousness inside, and listen for the cry that awakens a new alignment with your divine nature. The call is to live as the gardener of your own being, yielding fruits of peace and truth.

Practice This Now

Assume the role of the beloved gardener within your consciousness and revise: I AM the keeper of this vineyard, and I yield grapes of justice now. Feel the soil of awareness and the sensation of ripe fruit blooming within me.
