Inner Timing and Sudden Trials
Ecclesiastes 9:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Ecclesiastes 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ecclesiastes 9:12 says we cannot know when misfortune will come; it compares that moment to fish caught in a net and birds snared in a trap, suddenly overtaking people. It reminds us that time and danger arrive without warning.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's language, the time of trouble is never an outsider; it is a movement in your own consciousness. When you accept uncertainty or fear, you align with the 'evil time' that falls suddenly like a net closing around the fish. The apparent snare is not fate; it is a mental state you have entertained. You are the I AM, the aware self that creates through belief. If you imagine yourself as separate from the hour, you invite intrusion; if you revise the scene inwardly, you dissolve the net. The way out is simple: decide to inhabit a state that already contains the resolution you seek. Live from the end, feel the desired outcome as your present experience, and watch as the external snare loses its grip because the inner cause has changed. Remember, time is not marching toward you; you are the consciousness that orders time. In this light, 'sudden' becomes a cue to turn attention away from fear and toward the unchanging I AM, where every moment is already known and safe.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state you want as already yours. Feel the I AM holding that hour now.
