Neville Goddard on Hebrews 10:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 10 in context

Scripture Focus

5Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Hebrews 10:5-7

Biblical Context

Hebrews 10:5-7 speaks of Christ entering the world and preferring obedience to God's will over external sacrifices; the body is prepared for doing God's will, and the speaker comes to fulfill that will. The message invites us to see inner alignment as the true offering.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner lens, the world is a field of states of consciousness, and 'coming into the world' marks the moment your awareness awakens to its own I AM. The body prepared me is the form through which consciousness expresses its purpose; the I AM does not ask for burnt offerings, it desires the unity of will with God. When we read 'in the volume of the book it is written of me,' we hear a practical instruction: your life is authored by your present assumption. If you assume you are the living expression of the divine will, your actions align with that will as a natural consequence. The old talk of sacrifices fades when you realize true sacrifice is obedience to the inner plan. Therefore, let the imagination revise your sense of reality until you feel that you are already doing thy will. The outer world mirrors that inner alignment, and the 'body' you inhabit becomes the ready instrument for the perfect work already true in consciousness.
