Neville Goddard on Genesis 6:17-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 6 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Genesis 6:17-18

Biblical Context

God announces a flood to destroy all flesh and then promises a covenant with Noah and his family.

Neville's Inner Vision

To you, the reader, this is not a distant storm but your inner weather. The flood is the cleansing of old thoughts and identifications that bind you to fear; the breath of life is the living I AM within you. When God speaks of destroying all flesh outside, he is naming the old states of mind that no longer serve your true self. Yet the covenant appears in the same breath, a personal agreement you renew with every moment—your decision to enter the ark of imagination and to preserve faith, vision, and disciplined feeling. Noah and his family are the aspects of you that step into that ark; you enter it when you refuse to feed the flood with doubt and instead dwell in the felt reality of your assumed state. The ark becomes your seat of consciousness, a fixed impression of wholeness, until what you hold as real becomes the world you inhabit.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine a rising flood of old fears receding from your chest. Then affirm, I establish my covenant now, and enter the ark of my imagination, feeling it real.
