Neville Goddard on Genesis 2:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Genesis 2:1-3

Biblical Context

Genesis 2:1-3 records that creation is finished and God rests on the seventh day, blessing and sanctifying that day. It signals that true rest arises when consciousness recognizes completion rather than chasing results.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, consider Genesis 2:1-3 as the map of your inner state. The finished heavens and earth are the moment your awareness declares that the work is done; you say I AM and rest in it. The seventh day is not a future event but the present realization in which you cease striving and let the inner dream settle. God blessed and sanctified the seventh day because in rest the inner faculties align in harmony, and your thoughts, feelings, and actions flow from one Source. The host of them symbolize every aspect of your being that, when you rest, are drawn into perfect order. The miracle is not an external event, but your inner impression of completion becoming your felt reality. When you dwell in the completed state in imagination and hold it as real, you are sanctifying time by turning it into timeless rest.
