Neville Goddard on Exodus 23:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 23 in context

Scripture Focus

15Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

16And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

Exodus 23:15-16

Biblical Context

Exodus 23:15-16 commands keeping the feast of unleavened bread and two harvest feasts—the firstfruits and ingathering. Symbolically, these rites point to inner states of awareness and the abundance that follows when one aligns with inner commandments.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, dear one, the feast is not a ritual out there; it is a state you enter in consciousness. Unleavened bread is the bread of life baked in pure awareness, free from the yeast of doubt and fear. The time appointed is the inner season you decide by an act of assumption. When the text says none shall appear before me empty, it means you approach the altar with a filled mind an image and a feeling of already having what you seek. The harvest feasts speak of firstfruits the outward signs of your inner labor followed by ingathering the gathering of your daily reality into a single harmonious whole. Exodus is your liberation from old stories; you cross from sense of lack to the proof of fulfillment by aligning with the I AM feeling it real until it appears. Treat life as a continuous festival of your imagination becoming fact, and you will know obedience faithfulness and true worship blooming as your experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of sitting at the feast, the bread of pure awareness in hand, and your firstfruits already gathered. Stay with the feeling until it feels real; then carry that state into the day.
