Inner Plagues, Outer Offerings
1 Samuel 6:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Philstines decide on a trespass offering: five golden emerods and five golden mice; they hope honoring the God of Israel will lift his hand from them and their land. The act of making images of the emerods and the mice is meant to appease and restore favor.
Neville's Inner Vision
Pause with me at the threshold where the Philistines bring forth five golden emerods and five golden mice as a trespass offering. In the Neville mode, the plague is a state of consciousness—fear, guilt, distraction—that has seized the land because attention has wandered from the I AM within. The remedy is not another ritual with outward tokens but a turning of thought back to the God of Israel—the inner ruler, the I AM who knows no loss. The images of emerods and mice become symbols you can replace with new inner pictures that claim harmony, abundance, and rightful authority of your inner God. As you imagine, feel, and assume the new image, you are lightening the hand of judgment from your land. Mercy arises as you stop blaming ‘the world’ and acknowledge that the light within you can alter the seen world. The conversion is internal: you choose to worship the true God by aligning your consciousness with it, and the outward plague loosens its grip.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM is lightening the land now; vividly replace the emerods and mice with symbols of wholeness and praise, and feel the relief as your inner kingship returns.
