Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 7:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 7 in context

Scripture Focus

9Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

10And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Deuteronomy 7:9-10

Biblical Context

The passage declares God is faithful and keeps covenant with those who love Him and follow His commandments; it also warns of consequences for those who oppose.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the LORD thy God is the I AM—unchanging, faithful to the awakened state you inhabit. The covenant and mercy spoken of are not distant contracts but your inner agreement with the lasting law of consciousness: love what is true and keep faith with your highest responses. When you dwell in that inner allegiance, mercy flows as consistency of conditions, blessings that endure beyond a single moment, as if you moved in a current that sustains you to a thousand generations of present experiences. The opposite, hatred or resistance to this inner God, is simply your refusal to abide in the truth you claim; results appear as turbulence because you have forgotten the inner standard. The entire scripture thus teaches a practical psychology: fix your mind in the faithful state, and the outer world becomes a faithful echo. Do not seek salvation outside; awaken to the I AM within, and the world rearranges itself to agree with your inside alignment.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit comfortably, close eyes, and repeat in a quiet cadence: I am the faithful I AM; I keep the divine covenant now. Feel the certainty as a warm light within and let that feeling outlive the doubt, then notice your day as the covenant unfolding.
