The Inner Vessel Breaks
Jeremiah 19:9-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 19 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 19:9-11 presents a drastic judgment where siege and famine overtake the people, revealing the consequences of turning away from the LORD. The breaking of the bottle and the broken potter's vessel symbolize that the old order cannot be restored.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through the Neville lens, the horror is not a future catastrophe in history but a map of your inner states. Famine and siege arise as thoughts that gnaw when you identify with lack and fear. The act of breaking the bottle is the decisive revision of a worn-out self-concept—the old container you have relied upon that cannot contain your new life. When you stand and say, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, you are naming your inner law: I AM, the awareness that breaks the old form and makes way for a higher imagining. The potter’s vessel that cannot be made whole again represents the old self that must yield; you do not rebuild it, you re-create from within. In this light, the “burying” speaks of laying down the old thought-patterns and choosing a fresh vision. Therefore the city is not a place out there but your inner state becoming whole through a vibrant, faith-filled imagination. The judgment here is not punishment but invitation to awaken to a new self-state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Practice now by closing your eyes, placing a hand on your chest, and silently affirming 'I AM'—then revise any sense of lack by imagining your inner city restored, thriving, and secure, as though it already exists.
