Neville Goddard on Exodus 15:4-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 15 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

8And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

10Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.

Exodus 15:4-10

Biblical Context

Pharaoh's chariots and army are drowned in the Red Sea; the waters cover them as Israel experiences deliverance and salvation through God's power.

Neville's Inner Vision

To a Neville reader, this is not history but a waking dream of the soul. Pharaoh and his chariots are the fear and doubt that surface in the mind. The Red Sea becomes the unconscious depths that swallow all claims of lack. When the Lord's right hand is spoken, we hear the posture of I AM—awareness itself acting with the perfect decisive power. The wind and the waters are the breath and the moods by which consciousness moves; a single gust of that divine breath gathers currents and the floods stand upright, proving the limitlessness of your being. You overthrow the enemies you once entertained—the judgments, the appetite for outcome, the urge to dominate; you do so by resting in the certainty that you cannot be overcome while you acknowledge your true nature. Deliverance, here, is not a distant event but the awakening of your own awareness to its invincible good. The sea parts at your insistence because your imagination dares to decree liberty here and now.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state I AM delivered now. Picture the sea parting before you and step through in feeling as if liberation is your natural condition.
