Inner Harvest and Return

Jeremiah 12:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 12 in context

Scripture Focus

13They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
14Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
15And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Jeremiah 12:13-15

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 12:13-15 speaks of sowing and reaping, with thorns replacing wheat and labor seeming fruitless. It also promises that after plucking up the exile, God will return and restore the people to their heritage.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 12:13-15 becomes a guide to your inner life. The sowing of wheat and the reaping of thorns are symbolic of mental acts you have practiced—beliefs and fears that yield painful results when left unchecked. The fierce anger of the LORD is not a distant judgment but the sharpening of awareness, signaling that your current state cannot bear lasting fruit. The 'evil neighbours' who touch the inheritance are the limiting thoughts and external conditions you mistakenly identify with; yet the text promises plucking them out and returning with compassion. In Neville's psychology, the land and inheritance are your I AM—the awakened consciousness that restores itself. After the clearing, you are brought back to your heritage, your true land, within. The message is that the transition from judgment to mercy begins in your imagination as you revise your inner state and accept your more loving, prosperous self. Your practice is to persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, until events align with this inner return.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already home in your inner land. Feel the status of your restored inheritance now and dwell in the I AM that returns.
