Timeless Justice Within
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 8 in context

Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 states that lack of swift punishment can embolden evil, but true well-being comes to those who fear God. The verse invites inner alignment with divine order as the basis of outward outcomes.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville's eye, this passage is a study in inner timing. When sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is reinforced in the belief that there is no consequence, and a habitual evil thought-form can take root. Yet the real judge is not a court outside you but the I AM within you, the awareness that witnesses all you imagine. Those who fear God are not fearing punishment from without but dwelling in reverence before the One within; they maintain a constant posture of watchful consciousness. Such reverence turns time into a servant rather than a tyrant. It is not that days are shortened or lengthened by accident, but that your inner state determines what your outer world mirrors. The wicked, who do not fear before God, live as shadows because their inner alignment is with self-assertion and fear of nothing greater than themselves. The remedy is inward revision: align your imagination with divine order, and you will find that well-being is not a lottery but a natural expression of your true state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment, assume the state 'I am in the Divine Presence now' and feel that all judgments are settled within me; revise lingering beliefs in delayed justice by dwelling in the certainty of immediate alignment with the I AM.
