Neville Goddard on Hebrews 10:32-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 10 in context

Scripture Focus

32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

33Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.

34For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Hebrews 10:32-34

Biblical Context

Remember the earlier days when you were enlightened and endured a hard fight of afflictions. You faced reproach and loss, yet you kept faith, helping others and trusting you have a better, enduring substance in heaven.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses invite you to descend into the living state you already are. The illumination is the awakening to I AM—the constant awareness that you are. The great fight of afflictions is the inner resistance of the old man to this new state; it tests your resolve, yet it proves your power when you remain unshaken by outward appearances. To be made a gazingstock by reproaches is the outer theater that mirrors your choice: you stand in the inner conviction that you are more than surface conditions. Becoming companions of them that were used is the recognition that all are one in the I AM, and no one is truly separate from you. Compassion of me in my bonds and rejoicing at the spoiling of goods show that your measure of reality is inner wealth, not transient form. Know that you have in heaven a better and enduring substance—a wealth that cannot fade with circumstance, produced by your imagination and felt as present. So revise now: claim that wealth as your own, and feel it real in this moment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, recall a current struggle, and declare, 'I am illumined; I possess a heaven-born substance now.' See and feel the new wealth filling your inner landscape.
