Neville Goddard on Genesis 19:27-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 19 in context

Scripture Focus

27And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:

28And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

29And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.

Genesis 19:27-29

Biblical Context

Abraham rises early at the place before the LORD, looks toward the plain, and witnesses the smoke of destruction. The text then says God remembers Abraham and sends Lot out of the overthrow.

Neville's Inner Vision

Begin with Abraham’s dawn posture as your own inner decision to stand in the presence of the LORD. The outward gazing toward Sodom and Gomorrah is the inner habit of perceiving your life from the vantage of the I AM. The smoke that rises represents thoughts and conditions that seem to spell doom when you forget your divine nature; its appearance signals a transition rather than a tragedy in your experience. When God remembers Abraham, imagine that the I AM within you recalls the faith and persistence you have cultivated in imagination and prayer; remembrance is not past memory but present recognition of your true state. The rescue of Lot follows when that remembrance activates a movement of consciousness from danger to safety, from separation to healing. The lesson is not punitive judgment but the inner mechanics of salvation: by maintaining the inner vision that God is with you, you invite the outer deliverance that seems to come through conditions external or through the inspired action of others. Remember: you are the awareness that calls the rescue into being.
