Neville Goddard on Exodus 18:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 18 in context

Scripture Focus

2Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,

3And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:

4And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:

5And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:

6And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

Exodus 18:2-6

Biblical Context

Jethro arrives with Moses' wife Zipporah and their two sons, Gershom and Eliezer, reuniting Moses with his family at the wilderness encampment near the mount of God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a revelation of your own consciousness. Jethro's arrival is the moment your inner self gathers the scattered parts—the wife and the two sons—back into the center of attention where you stand before the Mount of God. Gershom, 'I have been an alien in a strange land,' speaks of the felt estrangement from your true home in I AM; Eliezer, 'the God of my father was my help,' is the memory of divine aid that has always steadied you. When Jethro declares his welcome, he offers the outer world as the mirror of the inner alignment; the mount becomes your present awareness, the dwelling place of God within. The presence of God is not distant; it is the recognized power that delivers you from fear and abandonment. In this light, exile dissolves, and reunion is imagined into being. Enter this state now: assume the feeling that your entire lineage—your faculties and loves—are back at the Mount of God, and dwell there in gratitude, knowing the I AM is your constant helper.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Jethro arriving with Zipporah and the two sons, entering the wilderness of your mind at the Mount of God. Feel the reunion as if it is already true, and affirm I AM is my help, bringing all parts back into unity.
