Wilderness Worship and I AM

Exodus 8:25-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Exodus 8 in context

Scripture Focus

25And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
26And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
27We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
28And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
29And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
Exodus 8:25-29

Biblical Context

Pharaoh asks them to worship in the land; Moses refuses, insisting true worship requires going into the wilderness to sacrifice as commanded. Moses and Aaron press for obedience while Pharaoh's deceit is exposed, and the deliverance depends on aligning with the divine order.

Neville's Inner Vision

Pharaoh in this scene is a state of consciousness that would have worship stay in the lands of appearances. Moses and Aaron are the I AM awakening within you, insisting that true sacrifice cannot be performed at the altar of comfort or social approval. The wilderness you are asked to enter is not a distant place, but a change of inner posture—a three days' journey away from the old ego's demands toward the command of God within. The 'abomination of the Egyptians' is the counterfeit worship born of attachment to forms—images of success, lineage, or security. By choosing the wilderness altar, you declare that awareness is the temple that matters. Pharaoh’s offer to let you go, ‘not very far,’ is the fear clinging to the familiar; yet the I AM knows that you leave bondage only when you renounce the seen world and embrace the unseen law. Prayer becomes interior negotiation, a revision of belief until the swarms of distraction dissolve. In this inner alignment, the Presence of God becomes tangible, and what seemed external shifts to reveal the truth of your kingdom within.

Practice This Now

Assume the state: 'I worship the LORD my God in the wilderness of my consciousness.' Feel the inner altar rise; revise any need for the land; hold the vision until the swarms vanish.
