Neville Goddard on Galatians 2:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Galatians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

2And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.

Galatians 2:1-2

Biblical Context

Paul goes up to Jerusalem by revelation to share the gospel he preaches to the Gentiles, then privately with those of reputation to ensure his mission isn’t in vain.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul’s ascent to Jerusalem mirrors the mind’s ascent to its inner Jerusalem, the seat of decision and truth. The fourteen years ladled into the text hint at a long inner season of preparation; revelation is the still inner voice declaring, This is the gospel you preach to the world. The private conference with those of reputation represents the inner council of your higher states listening for fidelity, ensuring your outward acts truly reflect your inner conviction so you do not run in vain. The Gentiles symbolize the outward expression of your truth, while Titus and Barnabas symbolize your faith and courage aiding the unveiling. When you listen within and align your outer demonstrations with this inner gospel, doubt fades and life becomes the natural fruit of your inner state. Trust that the revelation is not separate from you but the you of you, and act from that certainty until your world bears witness.
