Neville Goddard on Hebrews 2:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 2 in context

Scripture Focus

6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

8Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Hebrews 2:6-8

Biblical Context

It speaks of humanity's dignity and rightful rule over creation, while acknowledging that the outer world does not yet show that full subjection. The verse invites us to align inwardly with that royal order, not by external proof but by inner conviction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Standing in the present verse, you are not appealing to a distant jurist but addressing your own inner state. The author paints man as crowned with glory, given dominion over the works of God’s hands, yet the visible condition shows a different reality. Neville Goddard teaches that the 'I AM'—your essential awareness—is the only true ruler. What you witness in the outer world is the echo of an inner assumption that has yet to be settled in your consciousness. To interpret Hebrews 2:6–8, you must move from factual observation to revision: imagine the state in which all things are subject to you, feel that it is already so, and allow the impression to sink into your sense of self. By living from that fulfilled assumption, you align with the divine order and awaken the inner kingship that the verse declares. The transition from not-yet to already is purely a shift in how you identify yourself and what you accept as real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state of dominion, imagining all things beneath your feet. Stay with that felt reality for a few breaths, letting the I AM affirm the reign.
