Neville Goddard on Hosea 13:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 13 in context

Scripture Focus

3Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

Hosea 13:3

Biblical Context

Verse 13:3 pictures judgments as fleeting, like morning clouds, dew, chaff blown by the wind, or smoke from a chimney. Their power dissolves with time, revealing the lasting stillness of awareness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Neville would say: the 'they' in Hosea are not external enemies but states of consciousness that appear and disappear within you. The morning cloud, the dew, the chaff, and the chimney smoke are not punishments pressing on you from outside, but transient images arising in the I AM’s field of awareness. When you refuse to identify with them and instead assume the reality of your own unchanging consciousness, these images dissipate. The dew dries, the clouds lift, the chaff is blown away by the wind, and the smoke vanishes, because the immutable I AM remains the witness behind them. The verse invites you to persist in the one stable state—awareness—while the changing weather passes. Your life is not the judgments that pass, but the I AM that sees them pass. By occupying the state of complete presence, you turn the moment of threat into a distant show, and in that shift you discover that fear, guilt, and punishment are only clouds in consciousness, not facts in being.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and imagine the I AM as your sky. Silently revise: 'All judgments passing now are dew and smoke dissolving into the light of my awareness.' Feel the certainty as you breathe, and let one conviction of inner permanence flood your body.
