Neville Goddard on Hebrews 11:23-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 11 in context

Scripture Focus

23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

Hebrews 11:23-29

Biblical Context

Faith is the unseen hand behind Moses' birth, protection, and daring choices; by faith he aligns with God’s people, endures reproach, and walks through danger into deliverance. The text shows that inner trust translates into outward acts of deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take Hebrews 11:23-29 as a description of states of consciousness. Moses' birth and concealment by faith reveal the inner recognition that the Divine child is within every being. The refusal to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter is not a rebellion against a throne but a decision of true identity: I AM the Self, not the worldly persona. Choosing to suffer affliction with the people of God over the pleasures of sin is the inner preference for alignment with God's pattern, the tension between fear and faith. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt is a valuation of the invisible recompense over visible reward; it is the moment when the mind chooses the inward riches of Spirit over material security. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endures as seeing Him who is invisible—this is the soul's clear-sightedness. The Passover and the Red Sea are inner rituals: blood as life-force, passage from bondage through the mental sea of limitation. Each act is a conversion of perception, a waking to the reality that God is I AM.

Practice This Now

Before sleep tonight, close your eyes and assume the self that is one with I AM. Imagine yourself in a scene where you choose the invisible over the visible, stepping through the Red Sea of limitation.
