Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;

2And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,

3And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.

Jeremiah 19:1-3

Biblical Context

God directs Jeremiah to fetch a potter's bottle, gather the elders and priests, go to the valley of Hinnom by the east gate, and proclaim that judgment will come upon this place, so that all who hear will feel the weight in their ears. It is a message about collective accountability and the inner consequences of choices.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the potter's bottle is not a relic but a symbol of your mind's vessel. The elders and priests point to fixed beliefs that have hardened the spirit; you are invited to bring them into your inner landscape and sift them. The valley of the son of Hinnom becomes the inner valley where judgments are weighed, a locale within your heart where choices are formed. To proclaim the words is to awaken the sleeper within: to hear the word of the LORD is to hear the I AM speaking in you, the living will guiding you toward consequence and reform. The tingling ears signal the moment consciousness awakens to truth, the moment you realize the state you inhabit is the result of your inner movements. By choosing a new vision—one aligned with the divine I AM—you can redeem the bottle, reshape the inner vessel, and alter what follows in your life, starting now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Hold the potter's bottle in your mind and revise one fixed belief by saying, 'I release this belief and mold my mind to align with I AM.' Then feel the resulting tingling awareness as the inner word takes hold and your life reflects the new interior state.
