Neville Goddard on Exodus 7:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 7 in context

Scripture Focus

20And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.

21And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

Exodus 7:20-21

Biblical Context

Moses and Aaron obey God's command, striking the Nile so all its waters become blood, killing fish and making the river undrinkable.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 7:20–21 presents a scene where the inner becomes outer. The Nile is a symbol of your present state of consciousness, the story you tell about what can and cannot be. When Moses and Aaron act in obedience to the LORD—the I AM within—the waters are changed, not by pleading, but by a decisive inner act. The lifting of the rod is your firm assumption; the smiting of the waters is the moment you declare, internally, that the limitation is dissolved. As the river becomes blood in the sight of Pharaoh, so your inner atmosphere shifts from fear to certainty. The fish die and the land is affected because the old life cannot drink from the same source once transformed by an unwavering awareness. This is Providence: a reminder that your inner state governs the outer. The miracle is inward conviction clothed in outward form; you are the I AM, and by that recognition you alter the river of your days.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit in quiet with your chosen end in mind; assume the change as already done, feel it real, and dwell in the I AM's certainty until the river of your life reflects the new order.
