Neville Goddard on Genesis 9:12-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Genesis 9 in context

Scripture Focus

12And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

14And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

17And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

Genesis 9:12-17

Biblical Context

God declares a covenant with all flesh and sets a rainbow in the clouds as a perpetual sign, promising never to destroy the earth by flood.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Genesis 9:12-17, the rainbow is not a weather omen but a sign your inner I AM holds to remind you that you are not abandoned to flood or fear. The covenant is with all flesh because all flesh is your awareness in different costumes. When God says I will set my bow in the cloud, see it as your own imagination placing a symbol of mercy above every thought, a token that your world is remembered by the living I AM. The cloud gathers not to threaten but to reveal the constancy: never again shall the waters of fear drown your being, for the covenant endures in you as renewal and mercy. The bow in the cloud is memory made visible—an inner ark that preserves life in the very moment you choose harmony. God looks upon the bow and remembers the everlasting covenant within you, and you awaken to a world where creation replies to your revived sense of self.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and behold a luminous rainbow arching over your mind. Say softly, I am the I AM remembering mercy, and feel fear soften as you dwell in the covenant now.
