Neville Goddard on Daniel 3:15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 3 in context

Scripture Focus

15Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?

Daniel 3:15

Biblical Context

Nebuchadnezzar commands worship of the image and threatens fiery punishment if refused; the text records the bold refusal and the ominous question of deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's reading, the king’s sound of music embodies the social pressure to worship outward forms. The image symbolizes any belief or identity you cling to for safety, praise, or power. When the instruments play, your attention may be drawn to an image of yourself that is not your true I AM. The real furnace is the moment of choice where you either yield to the outer form or stand in your inner reality. The question 'who is that God?' challenges you to rely on visible power rather than inner consciousness. The answer, in Neville’s terms, is not a person but your own I AM—your constant awareness that can deliver you by steadfast faith in your consciousness. By maintaining your inner state, you exit the scene already possessing what you seek, and the furnace becomes a crucible that purifies fear into faith.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is already true in you; revise the scene so the furnace is only a symbol. Feel it real that you stand delivered by your conscious awareness.
