Inner Zion: Sorrow to Joy

Jeremiah 31:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 31 in context

Scripture Focus

12Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
13Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:12-13

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 31:12-13 portrays a time when sorrow is turned to joy. The soul is renewed, watered like a garden, and all ages rejoice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Jeremiah 31:12-13 as an inner map. Zion is a state of consciousness in which the good of the Lord flows—wheat, wine, oil, and the young of the flock—into your life. Your soul becomes a watered garden, nourished by the I AM within, and sorrow loses its grip. The decree 'I will turn mourning into joy' is a directive for inner revision: in this moment, feel comfort moving through you, begin to rejoice as if it were already true. The dancing Virgin and the old and young symbolize the harmonious movement of your mind when it rests in grace. The old mood of lack dissolves as you accept that mercy is present now. This is renewal, healing, and praise arising from an inner victory—your alignment with God, so the outward scene follows.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, I am the watered garden of the Lord, nourished by His abundance. Then imagine yourself dancing in Zion, letting joy fill every part of you until sorrow dissolves.
