Inner Covenant Awakening: Deuteronomy 31:16

Deuteronomy 31:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 31 in context

Scripture Focus

16And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:16

Biblical Context

The LORD forewarns Moses that after his death the people will turn to idols and forsake the covenant, signaling a turning point in their collective consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the psychological plane, the 'LORD' is your I AM, the awareness that never dies. When the text says 'thou shalt sleep with thy fathers,' it hints that your old patterns—habits, beliefs, and fears—must die so a new state can be born. The 'people' who rise up and 'go a whoring after the gods of the strangers' are the thoughts that chase after appearances—money, reputation, sensation—while severing your awareness from the covenant you share with the I AM. This covenant is the memory of your divine identity, the inner law by which your life flows. The prediction is not about history but about your present consciousness: whenever you identify with lack or external power, you break the covenant and invite limitation. Yet the drama is reversible: you can revise in imagination, choose the state of fidelity to the I AM, and feel it real now. By assuming the inner state that cannot be moved by outer gods, you redeem the 'land' of your mind and restore unity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in quiet, close your eyes, and assume you are the I AM in full covenant. Feel the old self die and the new state awakening as real.
