Read Jeremiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

8Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.

9Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.

Jeremiah 6:8-9

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 6:8-9 warns Jerusalem to heed inner instruction or risk desolation; it speaks of the remnant being gleaned like a vine into baskets.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's frame, the city of Jerusalem is your current state of consciousness. 'Be thou instructed' is not geographic admonition but an invitation to awaken to the I AM that you are. When you dwell in a state of separation, your soul may seem to depart and your inner land feel desolate; this is the dream of lack you have accepted. Yet the oracle speaks of a remnant—the faithful fragments of awareness that can be gathered and mobilized. The verse’s image of gleaning the remnant as a vine is the inner act of gathering your inner seeds of truth into a single harvest. To turn back the hand like a grapegatherer into the baskets is revision: you redirect attention from fear or omission back into your inner field, collecting every fragment of awareness as evidence of your wholeness. In this frame, judgment becomes an invitation to realignment with the I AM, not punishment. When you imagine the land inhabited by the truth of your being, you are practicing the law of consciousness: you create your tomorrow by the state you assume today.

Practice This Now

Assume the restoration of your inner Jerusalem now: say 'I AM' and feel your wholeness fill the space. Visualize gathering every fragment of awareness like a grape harvest into a basket, and inhabit that harvest as your new land.
