Neville Goddard on Acts 3:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 3 in context

Scripture Focus

20And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

21Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Acts 3:20-21

Biblical Context

Peter’s statement says Jesus will be sent, and heaven must receive Him until the times of restitution of all things, as spoken by the holy prophets. In plain terms, the restitution points to inner renewal that flows from divine truth through consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this verse as a map of your inner weather. Heaven is not a distant place; it is the present awareness you inhabit. Jesus Christ is the living manifestation of your I AM when you stand in the realization that you are the God-imagining Self. The sending is the moment you turn from lack to the truth that you already possess. Heaven must receive Him until the times of restitution of all things—this is the ongoing restoration of harmony within your consciousness, the clearing of fear and separation, until every facet of life reflects the truth of your wholeness. The prophets spoke through symbols because consciousness speaks through you; your imagination is the instrument and your present assumption is the word becoming flesh. Restitution is not a distant reform but the inner alignment of thoughts, feelings, and circumstances with your eternal nature. Begin now, in this moment, by assuming the state of the Christ realized within you, and let that inner reality soften your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state, “I am the Christ within, fully realized now.” Then feel gratitude and let that realization color the next moments of your day.
