Bethlehem Within: Harvest of Return
Ruth 1:22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ruth 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Naomi returns from Moab with Ruth to Bethlehem at the barley harvest, signaling the start of a new spiritual season.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this moment Ruth and Naomi are inner states of consciousness accompanying you on the journey inward. Naomi’s return signifies the old self waking to its essential truth, while Ruth, the steadfast imagination, walks beside you as you cross the threshold into a renewed sense of being. Moab stands for a dream of separation—beliefs that you are distant from your true home—whereas Bethlehem is the inner city of awareness, the I AM in which all fullness resides. The beginning of barley harvest marks not a calendar date but the first fruits of a changed vibration within. When you align with the I AM and persist in the new state, the old pattern softens and a fresh harvest appears in your life. Your task is to dwell from the end in view: see yourself already thriving, and let that inner abundance bloom outward, as Ruth’s loyalty becomes your assurance of return.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture Naomi and Ruth entering Bethlehem within you; affirm, 'I am returned to my inner home, and I now harvest abundance from within,' while really feeling the truth in your chest.
