Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 32:19-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 32 in context

Scripture Focus

19And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

24They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

Deuteronomy 32:19-25

Biblical Context

God sees a faithless generation and withdraws His face, letting their end be revealed; idolatry provokes His jealousy and invites calamity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the LORD is the I AM, watching your thoughts as they move to substitute God with idols. The abhorred moment is the awareness that you have given power to images outside your own consciousness; I will hide my face is the felt separation that tests where your faith remains. Yet faith is not punishment but a state you can revise. When you stop feeding counterfeit powers and dwell in the belief that I am that I am, as your vivid reality, the jealous fires burn away the old mountains of belief. The fire consumes the foundations that keep up the forms you call external; the sword without and terror within are inner conflicts you heal by revision. The remedy is inner sovereignty: assume your divine identity and feel it real now. Let the inner state you choose govern the world you experience, and watch as appetite, fear, and appearance yield to the living I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: In a quiet moment, assume the state I AM as your living reality; revise any image of lack or external power by affirming I am God within me now, and feel that truth saturate your thinking until it becomes your immediate experience.
