Neville Goddard on Hebrews 5:5-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 5 in context

Scripture Focus

5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

6As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

7Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

8Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

10Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 5:5-10

Biblical Context

Hebrews 5:5-10 portrays Christ not glorifying himself but being appointed by God as High Priest, after the order of Melchizedek. He prays, learns obedience through suffering, and becomes the author of eternal salvation for all who obey.

Neville's Inner Vision

Christ is not a man who seeks power; he is the I AM already High Priest, appointed by the one life within you. The cry 'to day have I begotten thee' marks a birth of a new state of consciousness—the Son waking to its true authority. The 'order of Melchisedek' is the timeless function of your awareness, a priesthood that stands beyond time and tradition because it issues from God within. In the 'days of his flesh' we translate that inner activity into the present; you offer prayers and supplications to the One who can save you from death, and you are heard when you trust the process rather than cling to old outcomes. 'Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered' means your inner self accepts the discipline of experience as the way you learn to obey the inner word. When you are 'made perfect' you become the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him—i.e., to all who align with the inner command. God calls you High Priest in the Melchizedek order because you stand now as consciousness itself.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the I AM, the High Priest within. Revise doubt by affirming 'I am begotten this day' and feel the response reverberate in your chest as a warm yes from God.
