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

Read 2 Peter 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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 3:4

Biblical Context

The verse questions where the promise of his coming is, noting that time has passed while the outer world has endured as at the beginning of creation. It invites turning inward to see how inner states shape our experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this line is not a forecast of a distant event but a diagnosis of your inner weather. The 'coming' is the awakening of a new state of consciousness, not a future arrival. The 'fathers' are past states of belief and identity; when you see the world persisting in its old form, you are projecting those memories into the present. The 'creation' remains real only as long as you accept its pattern as true. The verse invites you to shift your assumption—from waiting for signs in time to discovering the I AM that animates all perception. Real change comes when you decide and feel that you are already living in the realized kingdom, and that the coming is the dawning of a new inner life. Imagination is the instrument; by living from the end, you revise the scene and awaken to the truth that the coming is now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the end-state now; declare, 'I am the coming of the Lord in me now.' Feel that state as real in your chest for several minutes.
