Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 25:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 25 in context

Scripture Focus

17Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;

18How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God.

Deuteronomy 25:17-18

Biblical Context

The verse recalls Amalek's ambush on the march from Egypt, striking the rear and the weary. It highlights fatigue and the lack of reverence for God amid the journey.

Neville's Inner Vision

As you read, you are invited to see Amalek not as a distant enemy, but as a state of consciousness that roars when energy flags. Amalek, the hindmost, embodies those parts of you that grow faint and forget the I AM within; they do not fear God because they forget the indwelling awareness that actually leads your steps. The directive to remember asks you to refuse that old scene and to revise it from the standpoint of the I AM. Assume you are the I AM now, the ruler of your exodus, and feel the power of that assumption until fatigue loosens its grip. See the hindmost being carried by an unseen force, not crushed but guided by divine presence. In this light the march is not a battle against a past foe, but a re-scripted journey from a state of limitation to a state of freedom. Amalek's fear becomes a reminder that your true strength lies in consciousness alive and awake within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes; picture yourself at the rear of your caravan and imagine the weary parts of you being supported by a radiant I AM behind you. Firmly declare, 'I AM the I AM; you are led by me,' and feel that reality now.
