Neville Goddard on Habakkuk 2:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Habakkuk 2 in context

Scripture Focus

9Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

Habakkuk 2:9-11

Biblical Context

The verses condemn covetous ambition and pride, showing how wealth pursued at the expense of others invites inner reckoning. It argues that outward security built on harm cannot endure, and that the true foundation is moral integrity.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville mode, Habakkuk's woe becomes a warning to the state of your own consciousness. Covetousness is not a coin purse of external wealth; it is a mental posture—a belief that you must elevate your nest by starving others or by cutting off souls so you can feel safe. The 'house' built on such fear is a temporary structure designed to defy the power of evil, yet its very design traps you in lack. The stone crying out of the wall and the beam answering it symbolize the inner verification that your thoughts and actions are visible to your own awareness. When you inhabit a state of domination and fear, you project that reality into the world; your inner architecture bears witness to the truth you refuse to own. The remedy is to reverse the assumption: you are the I AM, and your abundance is a condition of consciousness already present. Build a nest on the solid rock of justice, generosity, and gratitude, and watch the outer scene rearrange to reflect that inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: 'I am the I AM; my abundance is secured by inner righteousness.' Feel the sufficiency as real now, and let that state saturate your being.
