Neville Goddard on Hebrews 7:26-28 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hebrews 7 in context

Scripture Focus

26For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

28For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

Hebrews 7:26-28

Biblical Context

Hebrews 7:26-28 presents a high priest who is holy and undefiled, and who offers himself once, unlike mortal priests bound by the law. The passage contrasts this eternal inner priest with the old system, pointing to an inner possibility of possessing a holy, consecrated self beyond ordinary perception.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Hebrews 7:26-28 the high priest is not an external figure but a state of awareness you assume. The holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate-from-sinners priest is your defined sense of I AM, the light that does not dwell in blame or sin. The old priests bound to the law represent every stale identity built on limitation, while the oath that makes the Son consecrated forever is the inner authority you affirm as true now. When you imagine offering up yourself, you are not performing a ritual; you are releasing a counterfeit self—the “me” that fears separation and punishment. Jesus’ action becomes your interior act: a once-for-all settling of consciousness in which you rest as the I AM, aware of holiness and of life’s continuity beyond the heavens of circumstance. This is not detachment from life but alignment with the essential life that requires no daily atonement.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM, the holy high priest of my life.' Then feel the old self dissolve into stillness as you rest in this consecrated awareness.
