Neville Goddard on Hosea 2:14-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

15And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

16And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.

17For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

18And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

19And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

20I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

21And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;

22And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.

23And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Hosea 2:14-23

Biblical Context

God promises to allure His people, bring them into a renewing encounter, remove false names, and betroth them forever in righteousness and mercy, so they may know the LORD.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Hosea speaks to your inner I AM. The wilderness is the quiet stage of consciousness where you listen to comfort instead of condemnation. The allure is the gentle pull of imagination back to your true nature, where vineyards of abundance grow from the soil of awareness and a door of hope opens where fear stood. To call Me Ishi is to rename the God you know as intimate, personal presence, not distant or capricious. The covenant with beasts, birds, and ground is your inner agreement that your world will reflect harmony when you align with love. The swords of conflict dissolve, and you lie down safely in the divine order. The betrothal forever is your decision to dwell in righteousness, judgment, lovingkindness and mercies--to be faithful to the I AM until you know the LORD. Heaven and earth hear your inner decree; Jezreel means God sows within you a new life, and you proclaim, 'Thou art my God,' in the moment of realization.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already in a state of betrothal to the I AM; feel the comfort of the wilderness turning to abundance, then softly declare, 'I am one with the LORD,' holding the sensation until it feels real.
