Neville Goddard on Hosea 10:10-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 10 in context

Scripture Focus

10It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.

11And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

13Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.

Hosea 10:10-13

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM of your being, Hosea’s field and plow become the landscape of your consciousness. The chastisement is not punishment from outside, but a sharpening of your inner pulse, the gathering of thoughts that no longer serve your wholeness. Ephraim as a taught heifer and the two furrows symbolize your mind divided by habit: you’ve to labor in external schemes while neglecting the one power that truly tills and rains. When God says I passed over her neck and will make Ephraim ride, He is reminding you that you may surrender control to fear or to the illusions of strength, and yet you can choose to ride the imagination that steers your life. Break up your fallow ground—meaning clear the soil of stale beliefs, fear-based plans, and the lie that the self is separate from its divine source. Sow to yourselves in righteousness; reap in mercy. The invitation is to seek the LORD now, to align your awareness with truth until rain of righteousness—an inner rainfall of right acting, right seeing—comes into your experience. Your current outcomes reveal an inner posture; revise it, and your world changes.
