Neville Goddard on Genesis 19:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 19 in context

Scripture Focus

1And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

2And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.

3And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.

Genesis 19:1-3

Biblical Context

Two angels arrive at dusk and Lot invites them into his home, sharing bread and shelter, demonstrating mercy and generosity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two angelic presences appear at the threshold of my mind's city; I bow, acknowledging them as the I AM at work within me. Their arrival says: consciousness is visited by truth. Rather than resist, I invite them into my inner house, offering nourishment of surrender and the rest of attention; hospitality here is not about food but allowing higher imagination to dwell. The gate of the outer scene (the city) is transformed as I host the higher form, moving from street to home, from fear to mercy. The bread of sincerity and the washing of feet symbolize clearing the self from doubt and pretense, preparing the mind to move in harmony with divine intention. By such hospitality, inner reality becomes evident; generosity becomes the practice of love incarnate. The angels depart, not as external guests, but as inner shifts of awareness through which I recognize I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; imagine two radiant visitors arriving at your inner gate. Bow, invite them into your inner home, and feel your I AM hospitality—revise any fear into mercy as you feed them with truth.
