Neville Goddard on Genesis 7:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 7 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

5And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

Genesis 7:1-5

Biblical Context

God calls Noah to enter the ark with his household because he is righteous in this generation. He commands the animals to be brought in and announces the coming flood; Noah responds with perfect obedience.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see in Genesis 7:1-5 the inner summons of your I AM calling you to retreat into a single, safe state. The ark is not a boat but the mind's shelter, where every part of you is gathered by your attention. The Lord's words, 'Come thou and all thy house into the ark,' become your own command to assemble thoughts, feelings, and motives into one consecrated center. The seven beasts and the two teach wholeness and balance; their numbers whisper that your consciousness must be complete to endure the storm of belief. The rain represents cleansing thoughts, a shedding of fear as you persist in imagining yourself already in safety. Noah's obedience—doing all that is commanded—reproduces in you as steadfastness in practice: you follow the inner instruction without questioning, and your life rearranges to reflect your inner committee of righteousness. When you inhabit this inner ark, judgment yields to renewal, and salvation appears as your natural state of being.
