Neville Goddard on Exodus 15:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

2The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.

3The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

4Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

5The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

7And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.

Exodus 15:1-7

Biblical Context

Moses and Israel celebrate God’s triumph at the Red Sea, praising deliverance from captivity. The passage is not only history but an inner victory over limiting belief.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the Neville-style reading: The song is the inner conviction that you, as the I AM, have already conquered the sea of fear. The people shouting 'The LORD is my strength and my song' is your awareness declaring itself alive: I AM is your vitality, your God, and your habitation. The Red Sea represents a stubborn belief that seems to drown you, yet in the act of assuming a new state you part the waters with the power of imagination. The line 'thy right hand' is the exact power of consciousness rising in you, dissolving enemies as fear and doubt. You are not seeking an external conquest; you are revising the internal scenario until the old image sinks like stones. By claiming that the LORD is a man of war, you commit to a program of inner action: the I AM wages war on failure by maintaining the right assumption; its wrath is the energy that consumes the stubble of negative thought. The result is salvation—an inner habitation prepared for God—so that liberation appears as your natural experience, here and now, in present awareness.
