Neville Goddard on Exodus 9:24-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Exodus 9 in context

Scripture Focus

24So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

25And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.

Exodus 9:24-25

Biblical Context

Exodus 9:24-25 describes a devastating hailstorm—mixed with fire—that strikes everything in the land of Egypt, destroying crops, trees, and life. The passage presents the severity of judgment as a defining moment in the narrative.

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 9:24-25 reads as a vivid meteorology of the psyche. The hail and fire are not separate enemies outside you; they are the inner weather created by a mind that has forgotten its I AM. The land of Egypt represents a consciousness convinced that power lies in external judgments and events. The hail is the volley of fearful thoughts; the fire their sharper judgments that burn away old certainties. In Neville’s terms, judgment made without the awareness of God becomes an outward storm. But the I AM, which you are, is the unalterable, the governor behind every scene. When you assume a new state—recognizing that reality is formed by imagination and that you are the only perceiver—these storms begin to dissolve. The destruction of the old fields signals the clearing of belief; the new herb and the new tree symbolize a re-birth of your inner landscape. Therefore, the “judgment” is not punishment from without, but the collapse of a prior identification. Rest in the certainty of the I AM and watch the inner weather yield to your awakening imagination.

Imaginative_act: Assume the I AM as the governing state of your mind, revise the scene by replacing the storm with a calm sky and flourishing fields, and feel the relief as if it were already true.
