Neville Goddard on Haggai 2:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Haggai 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.

Haggai 2:14

Biblical Context

Verse 2:14 shows the people and their nation before the LORD, and that their offerings are considered unclean. It links outer labor to inner purity, signaling that true worship begins in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Haggai speaks not to a historical crowd alone but to the reader as a mirror of the inner life. The ‘people’ and ‘nation’ are your own collective states of consciousness before the I AM, and the claim that every work of the hands is unclean points to an inner condition that taints outward labor. If your action feels contaminated, it is because the inner atmosphere lacks integrity. The answer is not ritual change external to you, but a revision of the inner state that projects your world. See that the uncleanness is a symbol of your present consciousness, not a curse on matter. To restore sacredness, assume a state of complete purity within, imagine the self offering as clean, and align your intention with the I AM. When your inner sense of I AM is undivided, your works naturally regain their holy character, transforming worship from ritual into living consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: For five minutes, assume the feeling of the I AM; revise your attitude toward your work until it reads as clean and sacred, and feel that certainty as you move.
