Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:14-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 6 in context

Scripture Focus

14Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

15And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.

16A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

17And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

18But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.

19And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.

20Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.

21And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

22Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

Genesis 6:14-22

Biblical Context

God commands Noah to build an ark of specific design, and Noah obeys, entering the covenant to save life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Truthfully, the ark is the vessel you build in the mind to endure the deluge of old conditions. 'Gopher wood' becomes your steadfast substance—the fixed states of consciousness you choose to trust. The rooms, the pitch inside and out, are the deliberate arrangements of your awareness, sealing in truth and sealing out fear. The dimensions—three hundred, fifty, thirty—mark levels of awareness: breadth of understanding, height of spiritual vision, length of time you remain within your chosen state. The window is your attention—what light do you allow to shine from above? The door on the side is the decision you make when the flood arrives: you enter, you close, you inhabit the ark with your family of thoughts and feelings—the two of every kind—your male and female energies in balance, the animal passions under governance of imagination. The flood is not punishment; it is the tempest of old beliefs being displaced by the covenant you affirm: I will establish my covenant with you. Then, you act as Noah did—strict obedience to the inner command, not outward fear. By faith, you enter the ark and survive by the power of inner assurance.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume you have entered your inner ark. Feel the walls and door of the vessel; bless your life with the I AM presence and declare the covenant within.
