Neville Goddard on Hebrews 4:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 4 in context

Scripture Focus

7Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

Hebrews 4:7-8

Biblical Context

The passage points to a present moment of opportunity: God fixes a day and invites you to hear today, offering rest as a present inner state rather than a distant promise; the call to another day implies perpetual invitation to awaken the inner life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this is not a history lesson but a shift in your inner state. The 'day' is a moment of consciousness, a doorway you enter by listening to the I AM within. When David speaks 'To day,' he is naming a perpetual invitation to let the inner voice course through your being. The rest promised to them is not a past event to be remembered but a quality of awareness to be entered now. If Jesus had given them rest, there would be no further invitation; hence the reference to 'another day' is the continuous beckoning of your own imagination. The outer rest you seek in form is the echo of an inner rest you become when you align attention with the divine I AM. So the command to harden not your hearts is a command to soften every resistance of belief, to yield to the voice you hear within and to trust the fresh now rather than a distant future. Rest is always present as you awaken to who you are in God.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'Today I rest in the I AM.' Then imagine hearing the inner voice and feel a wave of ease spreading from your heart through your whole being.
