Neville Goddard on Isaiah 5:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Isaiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:7

Biblical Context

Israel is the vineyard and Judah its pleasant plant. God seeks judgment and righteousness in the inner life, but oppression and a cry reveal misalignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

View Isaiah 5:7 as a portrait of your own inner vineyard. The house of Israel is your current state of awareness, and Judah its cherished plant within. When the text says God looked for judgment and for righteousness, it points to your inward demand for order and truth. If you experience oppression or a cry, these are not external penalties but signals from your mind that your inner soil needs revision. God, the I AM, is the all perceiving awareness that holds every thought; he does not punish you, he invites you to awaken. To awaken, shift from waiting for justice to arrive from outside to assuming the state of justice and righteousness within now. Practice revision: imagine turning oppression into calm, and the cry into clear, serene insight. Persist, and the vineyard renews itself, yielding sweetness and harmony in your conscious life. Your covenant loyalty is fidelity to the inner state you choose and cultivate, not to old stories. By continually choosing a wiser consciousness, you dissolve the old produce and invite a new, fruitful reality into being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM surveying an inner vineyard; revise the scene by declaring you have justice and righteousness here now, and feel that truth settling into your chest until it becomes your daily perception.
