Neville Goddard on Exodus 9:18-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

18Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.

19Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.

20He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:

21And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.

Exodus 9:18-21

Biblical Context

Behold a deadly hail is coming and a command to gather all in the field. Those who feared the LORD's word brought their people and cattle indoors; those who did not left them exposed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the scene as a mirror of your inner weather. The grievous hail stands for storms that arise when a mind forgets its I AM. Tomorrow's rain is the future impression your thoughts have already cast. The command to gather thy cattle is a call to collect every faculty—reason, imagination, memory, desire, and body—into the shelter of inner awareness. The houses are the sanctuary where attention is redirected from outer field conditions to the steady rhythm of your I AM. Those who 'feared the word of the LORD' among Pharaoh's servants obeyed, bringing their servants and cattle indoors, preserving life by loyalty to inner truth. Those who 'regarded not' left assets in the field and faced loss. In Neville's language, you decide now what is real by assuming the state that aligns with your desired outcome and feeling it as real. The hail cannot touch the consciousness that has entered the shelter of the I AM within. Practice this posture: acknowledge your inner shelter as the governor of events, and keep faith with the word that protects you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I am sheltered within the I AM; all my faculties are gathered and safe.' Feel that truth until it seems real, and watch outer conditions align with this inner reality.
