Timeless Justice Within

Ecclesiastes 8:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Ecclesiastes 8 in context

Scripture Focus

11Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
12Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
13But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
Ecclesiastes 8:11-13

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.
