Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 3:1-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

2That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

2 Peter 3:1-4

Biblical Context

Peter writes to remind you to keep the prophets' words in mind and the apostles' command. He notes that in the last days some will scoff, doubting the Lord's coming.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these lines invite you to observe that the last days are the present hours of your own consciousness. The ‘coming’ of the Lord is not a distant event in history but the awakeness within you when you dwell in the I AM. The prophets and apostles, speaking through remembered words, are inner anchors you can return to by mental revision. When you feel the pull of scoffers, know that they arise from a mind divided from its source—your own past beliefs, fear, and habit. Do not chase a future; imagine the present moment as already fulfilled, and therefore unshakeable. By reminding yourself of the divine promise, you shift into a state where what you seek is already true in your inner life. Time and change bend to your assumption; you become the reality you dwell upon. The day you remember that you are the living law, the steady will, the I AM, you will see the world reflect that inner covenant.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: 'I AM, and the Lord is returning now within me.' Spend a few minutes tonight imagining a scene where your desired change is already complete, and dwell in that feeling until it seems self-evident.
