Abram's Inner Promise

Genesis 15:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Genesis 15 in context

Scripture Focus

13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Genesis 15:13-16

Biblical Context

God tells Abram that his descendants will live as strangers in a land not theirs and be afflicted for a long period. Afterward, the nation will be judged and come out with great substance, and Abram's line will return in due time.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the history on the screen of your mind as a parable of your own inner land. The seed is not a nation apart from you but a state of consciousness awaiting embodiment. When it is told that the seed shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, hear it as the mind temporarily living in a belief that is unfamiliar to its true nature. The affliction for four hundred years is the endurance of a dream in which old habits seem real. Yet the judge I speak of is the inner verdict of your I AM, dissolving that dream by awareness until the power of limitation loosens and you go out with great substance—clarity, energy, purpose made tangible in your world. You shall go to your fathers in peace meaning you rest within the identity that is consistent with your truth, not with fear. In the fourth generation you shall return, for the inner climate has ripened; the Amorite pageant is exhausted and the soul is ready for a higher order. This is not history; it is a map of your consciousness awakening to itself, returning to its rightful land of abundance.

Practice This Now

Assume now that your inner land is free and prosperous; revise limitation into truth. Feel it real by resting in I AM awareness and noticing the tangible changes around you.
