Neville Goddard on Exodus 6:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 6 in context

Scripture Focus

2And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:

3And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Exodus 6:2-3

Biblical Context

God declares the LORD and explains that He was known to the patriarchs as God Almighty, not by Jehovah. This signals a present, personal relationship now offered to Moses.

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse invites us to recognize the LORD not as a distant title but as the I AM within our own consciousness. The patriarchs knew God by the form God Almighty, yet this revelation introduces a living, intimate presence that Moses can claim here and now. This is a shift from historical names to a personal identity—the inner state in which you live. You are Moses in your own life, eligible to move from the memory of old names into the immediacy of present awareness. The difference in names indicates that God has always been near as awareness, and faith is simply a manner of identification: align with the I AM rather than seek distant labels. When you rest in the I AM, you dissolve separation and enter a true covenant with your own consciousness. Trust arises as you practice this inner recognition consistently, not as a future event but as a living present reality that you embody today.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare I am the LORD of my inner life now, and breathe into that sense until it feels real. Then revise any sense of separation by affirming that the I AM is my ongoing, covenant presence here.
