Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 18:15-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 18 in context

Scripture Focus

15The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

16According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.

17And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.

18I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Deuteronomy 18:15-19

Biblical Context

God promises to raise a Prophet from among you, like Moses, and you are to heed him. If you do not listen to the words he speaks in God's name, you bear that consequence.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the fabric of Deuteronomy, the Prophet is not a distant envoy but the state of consciousness you awaken within. The call to hear him mirrors the I AM speaking from your own center; 'like unto Moses' signals the same authority now resident in you as inner awareness. The Horeb gathering represents the moment you quiet external clamor and make space for the living Word to emerge as your own inner speech. The words placed in the Prophet's mouth are your imaginative faculty—your deliberate, faith-filled speak-it-into-being that aligns perception with divine intention. To hear and heed is to shift belief into immediate experience: you stop living as if God is somewhere else and begin living as the source of every event. If you resist, you linger in old fear and separation; when you listen, you activate the inner Word that transforms life from the inside out.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a quiet, commanding inner voice saying, 'Hear me and heed my words.' Repeat, 'I AM the Prophet within, speaking now,' and then revise a current limitation by aligning it with that inner Word and living as that voice today.
