Neville Goddard on 2 Peter 3:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Peter 3 in context

Scripture Focus

6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:6-7

Biblical Context

Peter contrasts the old world drowned by water with a present world kept for a future fiery judgment; the inner state is the real arena where choice determines outward events.

Neville's Inner Vision

That Peter speaks of two eras is not history, but your inner weather. The 'world that then was' symbolizes a consciousness flooded by fear and attachment, which perished when the flood of awareness rose. The current heavens and earth are kept by the same word—the I AM within you—awaiting a day of judgment that purifies not by external violence but by the clarity of your assumed state. The fiery judgment is the irresistible force of imagination when you insist calmly that a new reality is already yours. The promise is not future weather but present awareness: your inner conviction determines the outer conditions. Trust that what you imagine in quiet now stands guard over your life until its time of manifestation. You are not at the mercy of random events; you are the Word, and your feeling of its truth transfigures every scene.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state you desire as already yours; feel it in the chest and declare it done. Let the old story perish in the warmth of the assumed reality.
