Inner Harvest and Judgment

Joel 3:12-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Joel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joel 3:12-14

Biblical Context

Joel speaks of a valley where judgment takes place, a ripe harvest, and a day of decision; it points to accountability for inner states and the consequences they produce in our experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Joel's valley not as distant geography but as the theater of your own awareness. The heathen are the old, scattered beliefs and appetites within you; to wake them is to awaken to the I AM that sits in judgment of all inner states. The call to 'put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe' is a command to withdraw attention from lack and fear and to reap the consequences of your most habitual thoughts. The press overflowing means your inner pressure is ripe for transformation; the fats overflow because abundance and constraint are mere states of consciousness you hold. 'Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision' are the many possible futures you entertain in the moment of deciding who you are. The 'day of the LORD' is not some distant time but your decision to let the divine order govern your inner world. When you align with the I AM and imagine from that state, you reinterpret every event as a sign of your inner harvest. The judgment you fear is simply your own choosing to identify with a new version of yourself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and assume, 'I am the I AM,' seeing the valley of decision as your inner stage. Then feel the harvest as already yours, right now, and let that sense transform your next moment.
