Neville Goddard on Hebrews 13:10-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 13 in context

Scripture Focus

10We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

11For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Hebrews 13:10-12

Biblical Context

The passage contrasts an inner altar with the tabernacle ritual and notes that the physical sacrifices outside the camp were burnt. Jesus’ sacrifice outside the gate sanctifies people with his blood, signaling a shift from external rites to inner realization.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the altar is not a place but a state of consciousness you occupy. The tabernacle rituals and the bodies of beasts burned outside the camp symbolize all external forms you once used to secure meaning. Jesus, the Christ within, suffered outside the gate so that sanctification comes through an inner life-blood—the living I AM that animates your awareness. Sanctification is not a future event tethered to a building; it is a present realization of unity with God in you. The camp represents the narrow ego-mind; stepping beyond it means choosing a state of consciousness where your worth, purpose, and belonging flow from the divine within rather than from external ceremony. The blood denotes life-energy—the vivid knowing that you are already holy in the sight of the I AM. Your task is to dwell in that inner awareness, letting old forms fall away as you inhabit the one self that is God incarnate.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM state. Place an inner altar in your chest, envision the blood of Christ within flowing as life, and let the old external rites dissolve as you rest in the realized unity of you and God.
