Neville Goddard on Exodus 7:15-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 7 in context

Scripture Focus

15Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.

16And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.

17Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.

18And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.

19And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.

Exodus 7:15-19

Biblical Context

Moses is sent to Pharaoh by the LORD to demand release for the Hebrews; the Nile waters will be turned to blood as a sign of divine power, signaling deliverance and judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard’s lens, Pharaoh stands for the stubborn ego within you, and the Nile represents the current stream of your thoughts and conditions. The rod in Moses’ hand is your living imagination, the instrument by which you command your inner weather. When the LORD says, let my people go, it is the inner command to liberate the Hebrews—the freed faculties of your nature—into service of the I AM in the wilderness of awareness. The waters turning to blood is not punishment but a symbolic eruption of new perception: as you insist that the river of thought be rearranged by the truth of your I AM, the outer scene rearranges itself, patterns die (the fish), and life—your vitality—reaches a different quality (the river becomes blood). The phrase, in this you shall know that I am the LORD, marks the moment your inner state confirms the I AM as your present reality. This deliverance is a revelation of your living consciousness, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Morning practice: stand by your inner river, stretch your imaginative rod, and repeat, 'Let my people go that they may serve me in the wilderness.' Feel the release as your awareness asserts itself, and notice the old patterns dying to feed a new current of vitality.
