Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 32:41-42 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 32 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Deuteronomy 32:41-42

Biblical Context

The verse presents God as the judge who wields power to recompense enemies and reward love, using sword and arrows to symbolize decisive, unavoidable justice.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the glittering sword and the arrows are not external weapons but the sharp faculties of your own awareness. In this state of consciousness you whet the blade by attention, and you take hold of judgment by choosing what you will entertain in your mind. The enemies are not others but limiting beliefs and habitual thoughts you have fed; their downfall is the shedding of old scripts as you revise them. The blood speaks of releasing attachment to outcomes and freeing yourself from the tyranny of fear. The beginning of revenges upon the enemy signals the first act of restitution within you: you replace a problematic scene with the truth of your power as the I AM, and you forgive what was once bound to you. The Kingdom of God is thus an inner realm, born from disciplined imagination and the awareness that you are the perceiving I AM, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the I AM; revise a troubling scene by declaring that the enemy is a belief you now release. Feel it-real as you choose a new outcome, aligning your inner sword with lawful, loving discernment.
