Neville Goddard on Hosea 1:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 1 in context

Scripture Focus

10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Hosea 1:10

Biblical Context

Hosea 1:10 speaks of a future restoration where Israel’s number cannot be counted, and in the place of rejection they are called the sons of the living God. It marks a shift in identity from exclusion to intimate belonging.

Neville's Inner Vision

Whom you call Israel is an inner state of consciousness. Hosea speaks to the part of you that has counted loss, that has been told, 'you are not my people.' But the I AM—your own awareness—never forgot its oneness. When you insist on your separation, you are only repeating the old dream; when you revise it, you awaken to a new inventory: you are the sand that cannot be numbered, yet the place says, you are the living God’s sons. This is not a future event but a shift in inward perception. The restoration promised is your own return to consciousness of belonging, a covenant kept by the living I AM within. See that the shift from 'not mine' to 'mine' happens in you now as you accept your true identity as a son of the living God. The outer world will adjust to reflect the inner decree as your awareness asserts itself.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume, 'I am the Son of the Living God, present now.' Feel it as a lived memory, and let the inner decree dissolve every sense of separation into the presence of the I AM.
