Neville Goddard on Daniel 9:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Daniel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

7O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.

8O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.

Daniel 9:7-8

Biblical Context

Daniel 9:7-8 presents that God is righteous while the people bear shame for their trespasses, confessing their sins and seeking reconciliation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's reading, the verse maps your inner life: righteousness belongs to the I AM, not to a ledger of deeds; the 'confusion of faces' signals a mind that has forgotten its oneness. The people scattered 'near and far' symbolize divided beliefs about self—guilty, blamed, driven by memory. The remedy is not hoping for external mercy, but turning in imagination to the truth that you are already divine. By naming the trespass, you acknowledge it as a thought, not a fact of being, and invite a new state to replace it. As you align with the I AM, the sense of separation dissolves, and justice becomes an inner rhythm that clears the face before God. The past becomes a dream, and the present experience reflects your renewed inner condition: righteousness is your current I AM claim, not a distant reward.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and feel 'I am the righteousness of God now.' Revise the record in consciousness and allow the relief to wash over your face.
