Neville Goddard on Exodus 11:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 11 in context

Scripture Focus

4And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:

5And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

6And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

7But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

Exodus 11:4-7

Biblical Context

These verses present a divine differentiation: Egypt faces a plague while Israel is protected, leading to a perception of deliverance rooted in covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a map of consciousness, Exodus 11:4-7 invites you to treat midnight as the turning point of awareness. The Egyptians represent the old beliefs—fear, lack, and habit—that claim outcomes you once deemed inevitable. Their death signals the shedding of that inherited order when you no longer identify with it. The Israelite firstborn symbolize the birth of new possibilities that arise when you dwell in the I AM. The statement that the Lord puts a difference between the Egyptians and Israel is an inner law of distinction: in your mind, some thoughts keep you bound, others align with the higher power you truly are. When you assume the I AM as your present truth, the night of limitation collapses and deliverance becomes your felt reality. The cry echoes the old you giving way to the new, while your inner guard remains fixed on your divine state. Deliverance comes as you consciously rearrange your consciousness around the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume I am the I AM; this night you step from inner Egypt into the promised state. Feel the shift as if it is already real.
