Neville Goddard on Haggai 2:15-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Haggai 2 in context

Scripture Focus

15And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:

16Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

17I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.

18Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.

19Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

Haggai 2:15-19

Biblical Context

The passage invites you to look from this day forward, recognizing how past difficulties accompanied disobedience, and affirms that blessing begins the moment the foundation is laid.

Neville's Inner Vision

Know this: the verse is a map of your inner geography. The years of shortage are but a memory of a consciousness that forgot the temple within. When the command comes, 'consider from this day,' you are being asked to return your attention to the moment of foundation—the point where imagination begins to lay stone upon stone. The line 'Is the seed yet in the barn?' asks you to cease counting lack and to identify with the completion already formed in your inner workshop. From this day onward, the foundation is laid in your awareness; your blessing does not await some future harvest, it arises as you align with the implied ending of lack. The smite and drought you endured are not punishments from a distant God, but signals to release an old state that no longer serves. Your present I AM, your innermost Self, speaks the blessing into being as you assume it right now. Thus, the promise 'from this day will I bless you' becomes your lived reality the moment you renew your mind.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'From this day the foundation is laid,' then feel the blessing already present and allow it to reorder your inner priorities; notice one shift in your outer experience as confirmation.
