Neville Goddard on Hosea 13:3-6 - 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.

4Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

5I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

6According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.

Hosea 13:3-6

Biblical Context

Hosea 13:3-6 pictures the people as a morning cloud and dew—brief and vanishing—driven away by the wind. It then declares the Lord as the sole savior and recalls how abundance and pride have caused forgetfulness of Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present verse invites you into the inner workshop where all you see in the world is a mirror of your inner state. The morning cloud, the dew, the chaff—these are not weather, but the fluctuations of your consciousness when you forget who you are. The Lord, I AM, is not a distant God but your own awareness: 'from the land of Egypt' you are called to wake up as the one who knows no other god but this I AM. When your heart is fed by pride or by the belief that abundance proves your worth, you forget Me. So revision is required: assume the truth of unity, feel the reality of God within as the sole savior, and dwell there until the memory of bondage dissolves. Your prosperity will align with the inner pasture you feed your mind. As you hold to the I AM, the wind removes the chaff and the dew returns as clear consciousness, no longer ephemeral.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state 'I AM God within me' as your present reality; dwell there until it feels real. Then revise any sense of lack by affirming, 'There is no savior beside me' as your inner truth.
