Neville Goddard on Exodus 12:26-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 12 in context

Scripture Focus

26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

Exodus 12:26-27

Biblical Context

Your inner dialogue asks what the service means; the answer names it as the LORD's Passover, a sign of deliverance that leads the people to worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the question from the children is your own mind asking what this service is for. The service is not a ritual in time but an inner movement of consciousness, an act of turning attention to the I AM within. The LORD's Passover signifies the I AM passing over the house of your thoughts, where fear once resided. The smiting of the Egyptians represents the old identifications that kept you in bondage, and the delivery of our houses is the liberation of your inner state. When you bow and worship, your heart aligns with the truth that you are not the bondage but the witness and the freedom. This is a Neville-like living of the end: imagine and feel that deliverance now; let imagination confirm what is already true in the I AM. By that inner conviction you pass over your own house, and the worship is the gratitude that your consciousness has awakened to liberty.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare I am delivered; then imagine stepping into a new room of awareness where the old walls dissolve and fear is no longer the ruler.
