Neville Goddard on Habakkuk 3:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Habakkuk 3 in context

Scripture Focus

9Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

10The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

Habakkuk 3:9-10

Biblical Context

Plain sense: Habakkuk presents God moving in sovereign power—his bow bare, his word, and rivers cleaving the earth; the mountains tremble as waters surge and the deep voice rises. It reads as awe before divine control over creation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present life is the theater of Habakkuk’s vision. The bare bow is your fixed image when you finally drop the need to defend every belief; the oaths of the tribes are your unshaken commitments that you act from day by day. When you allow the word to stand free, you invite the earth to be cleaved by the rivers of imagination, carving new channels through old conditions. The mountains you think stand in your way see the I AM within and tremble; the rising waters pass through the landscape of your life, and the deep within you speaks with authority, lifting your hands toward the heights. The message is simple: your inner state creates your outer order. If you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled and rest in the truth of I AM, your world rearranges itself to reflect that inner decree. Habakkuk invites you to become the power that moves the world, not the spectator.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the state of I AM and the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Allow the inner rivers of imagination to flow through the soil of your life, creating new orders where old conditions stood.
