Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 32:36-43 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 32 in context

Scripture Focus

36For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

39See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

41If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.

42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

Deuteronomy 32:36-43

Biblical Context

Deuteronomy 32:36-43 presents a declaration that the LORD will judge His people, restore power, and reveal that no other god stands with Him. It speaks of life, healing, vengeance, and mercy toward His land and people.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle, the Lord speaks as the I AM within you. The judgment and vengeance are not external acts but inner discernment that strips away the illusion of any power outside awareness. When the verse says there is no god with me, it is you recognizing that consciousness is sovereign. The line about killing, reviving, wounding, and healing points to the inner motions of imagination— you revise the sense of powerlessness by affirming I AM, alive and eternal. As you whet the glittering sword of judgment, you cut through fear, pride, and limitation, replacing them with a clear energy that restores life. Arrows drunk with blood become the fierce release of old conditions you no longer inhabit; the sword devouring flesh becomes the consuming of false images by the flame of awareness. And the concluding mercy toward land and people signals your unity with all states of consciousness—mercy toward self and world through the I AM. Rejoice, for you are the one witnessing every manifestation.
