The Last Command to Joseph
Genesis 50:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Genesis 50 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Joseph’s brothers sent a messenger to tell him that their father, Jacob, had commanded him before he died. The verse frames a last instruction carried through mediated communication.
Neville's Inner Vision
Genesis 50:16 is not merely a backward glance at a family pageant; it is your inner pattern of command. The messenger and the dying wish are symbolic of the last decree your awareness accepts. Joseph stands as the I AM—unshaken, the witness who does not cower before the voices of the past. The brothers’ report that Jacob commanded before he died becomes a waking idea in your present consciousness. When you assume that last command and allow it to land in your feeling, you realign your life with forgiveness, loyalty, and wiser discernment. The so-called mediator—an inner thought—brings a message you can revise: you forgive, you release the debt of grievance, you stay faithful to your true nature, and you act from unity rather than injury. In this light, the outer events (family, lineage, history) fade to the background while the inner decree shapes outcomes. So take this verse as a practical key: hear the command within, obey in feeling, and watch your relationships reflect your revised state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine a messenger delivering a final command from your inner father—the I AM—to forgive someone who has harmed you. Then revise the memory by affirming, I forgive and bless now; feel the release as real.
