Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 3:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 3 in context

Scripture Focus

13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2 Peter 3:13

Biblical Context

Peter speaks of a coming renewal—the heavens and earth re-made—where righteousness dwells. It is grounded in a promised transformation, not in mere outward change.

Neville's Inner Vision

According to this verse, the entire creation you inhabit is not fixed but awaiting a radical shift inside you. The 'new heavens and new earth' are states of consciousness, where the atmosphere is righteousness, a quality of being you can dwell in now. In Neville's terms, God is the I AM, and imagination is the creator. When you acknowledge the promise as your present reality, you invite a revision of your inner landscape: old doubts, judgments, and appearances fade as you assume the feeling of living in a just, orderly order. The new creation begins with a clear assumption of that which you desire—the righteous order of your life—until it lingers as the inner habit of attention. The outer world rearranges to match this inner state, not by force but by the natural law of being. Therefore, the verse is not a distant prophecy but an invitation to dwell in the kingdom already present within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare 'I am living in the new heavens and new earth now,' and feel the atmosphere of righteousness. Rehearse this assumption until it becomes your automatic perception.
