From Vines to Thorns Within
Isaiah 7:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 7 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Places that once held abundant vines become briars and thorns; the land is transformed into a scene of struggle and warning.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your consciousness is the stage where this prophecy moves. The 'thousand vines' symbolize the wealth of thoughts, loves, and plans you have imagined for your life. When you dwell in fear or scarcity, the inner climate corrodes into briars and thorns, and the world answers with struggle, arrows, and defense. But the law of consciousness is forgiving and exact: you can revise the scene by returning to your I AM, the source that names you the ruler of your inner land. Picture the garden again as lush; feel the vitality surge in your chest; declare that abundance is your natural state and that lack is only a belief you withdraw. The phrase 'it shall come to pass' is not future-time fate but the present mechanism by which imagination molds reality. If you hold a new vision, your external world will bend to it, not by shouting but by moving into the felt sense of the restored garden. You exile the old belief aloud and welcome the return of your true garden.
Practice This Now
Assume the state of abundance now; feel the I AM as your constant presence. In your next quiet moment, revise the scene by picturing the land as lush vines where briars stood, and let the feeling of it become real.
