Neville Goddard on Deuteronomy 9:25-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Deuteronomy 9 in context

Scripture Focus

25Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

26I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Deuteronomy 9:25-26

Biblical Context

Moses fasts and intercedes, pleading with the LORD to spare Israel and its inheritance, remembering the redemption from Egypt. The passage presents an inner act of petition that sustains a newly realized state of being.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Deuteronomy 9:25-26 the inner drama is not history alone but the psychology of consciousness. Moses stands for your I AM, the steadfast awareness that can endure, hold, and redeem. The forty days and nights symbolize a patient persistence in vision, a willingness to keep faith until the old fear-state dissolves. The threat to destroy you is the appearance of a destroyed self, the old mind clinging to separation. Your inheritance and the redemption from Egypt symbolize the state you have already claimed in awareness—the freedom of mind that is now your true home. The prayer destroy not thy people is not an appeal to an external deity; it is the I AM affirming, again and again, the reality of your new order and refusing to let it be erased by doubt. The greatness and the mighty hand are your inner faculties moving your life from bondage to liberty through imagination and feeling.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume I AM as your constant presence, declaring that the desired state is already preserved. Then dwell in the feeling of that reality for several minutes, letting it color your inner weather.
