Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 7:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 7 in context

Scripture Focus

6For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 7:6-8

Biblical Context

God declares Israel holy and chosen by divine love, not by numbers. He saves them from bondage as a sign of the covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner reading, 'the LORD thy God hath chosen thee' becomes an assertion of your present state of consciousness. You are holy now, not as a reward later, but as your I AM reality. The fact that the nation was the fewest in number shows that outward measures do not govern divine favor; inner acceptance does. The 'mighty hand' delivering from bondage is your mind's power when you assume a new state and persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. When you feel God's love as your own awareness, the sense of separation dissolves; you realize you are covenant kept in your own heart. The term 'bondmen' points to any belief in lack, limitation, or fear - now released by the ascent of imagination. Therefore, rest in the conviction that you are chosen, not by numbers, but by the fidelity of your I AM. Then your world rearranges to reflect that inner reality, revealing salvation and grace as a continual inner phenomenon, lived as you walk in present awareness.
