Neville Goddard on Hebrews 4:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Hebrews 4:3-5

Biblical Context

Those who believe enter into a rest promised by God. It echoes the creation-rest of the seventh day, signaling a sustaining harmony available now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Belief is the atmosphere in which you dwell. The rest spoken in Hebrews is not a place you must earn but a state you assume. The oath of God marks a boundary you crossed the moment you affirm belief. In that moment, the works of life are finished in your consciousness, for creation's order already exists in you. The seventh-day rest is an inner awareness you enter when you concede that your life is governed by the I AM—the awareness you possess. The rest is tied to covenant loyalty: to remain in faith is to live from peace, not by struggle; to trust that your imagined state can shape your experience. When you feel the truth as present, outer conditions align with inner harmony. You are not chasing rest; you are becoming the rest by the steady assumption that it is already yours.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: In a quiet moment, close your eyes and declare, 'I now rest in the I AM.' See your day from the end: feel the peace already yours and let that feeling color each circumstance.
