Neville Goddard on Acts 7:23-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 7 in context

Scripture Focus

23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

24And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

25For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

26And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

27But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

28Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

29Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.

Acts 7:23-29

Biblical Context

Moses, at forty, goes to help his Israelite kin, defends a man, and believes God will deliver them by his hand. When the people don’t understand and reject him, he ends up fleeing to Midian.

Neville's Inner Vision

Acts 7:23-29 is not merely an episode in history; it is a vivid allegory of your inner state. Moses moves in the heart with the intention to deliver, believing that God’s power will work through his hand. The moment he thinks the brethren will understand shows the first assumption of unity—yet the crowd remains asleep to the possibility of liberation, and they resist the messenger. When they say, 'Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?' a projection of separation arises, and his fear becomes flight to Midian. In Neville’s scheme, the deliverance of God is always accomplished in consciousness, not by outward coercion. The rejection you meet in the image of the tribe simply tests whether you have truly accepted that the I AM within you is the power of deliverance. If you cling to this inner truth, the outer event will harmonize with it. The so-called enemy is only a belief that you have not yet realized the oneness that already is.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state that God within you has already delivered your brethren. Feel the unity and revise the scene, knowing the deliverance comes through consciousness, not through another's agreement.
