Neville Goddard on Hebrews 3:5-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 3 in context

Scripture Focus

5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

Hebrews 3:5-11

Biblical Context

Moses was faithful as a servant in God’s house, bearing witness to things to come; Christ now rules as Son over the house, and we are that house if we keep the confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's psychology, the 'house' is your state of consciousness. Moses, as faithful servant, testifies to earlier movements of God within you; Christ, as Son over the house, is the I AM—the living awareness that rules your inner streets. You are the house of God when you hold fast to the confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end, in every breath of the present. The day you hear the inner voice—'today'—offer no resistance; soften your heart and rewrite the old wilderness story with a new sense of possibility. When you refuse to harden your heart, you align with grace already working in you, and you enter the rest—a rest not of a distant place but of a quiet, assured consciousness. Rest is the awareness that your imagined end is already true in your inner state; as you persist in that state, your outer life follows, confirming the spiritual law that your inner assumption creates the outer scene.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume you are already 'in the house' ruled by Christ; feel the confidence and joyous rest as your present state, and linger there for several breaths until the inner sense of rest becomes real.
