Neville Goddard on Hosea 6:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Hosea 6 in context

Scripture Focus

3Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Hosea 6:3

Biblical Context

Hosea 6:3 states that knowledge of the LORD comes when we persist in seeking Him; His return to us is like the morning light and rain, awakening presence within.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the aware reader, Hosea 6:3 speaks not of distance but of a state you inhabit. 'Following on to know the LORD' is the discipline of turning attention toward the I AM until knowledge becomes a felt reality. The LORD's going forth as the morning is your inner dawn: a fresh, reliable awareness that every moment is a new possibility of one-ness with God. When you persist in the assumption 'I know the LORD,' you invite His presence as a rain that moistens the soil of consciousness, dissolving doubt, awakening discernment, and nourishing wisdom. This is Providence not as a plan above you, but as the natural outcome of your inner posture: faithfulness to the truth you choose to reside in. The rain arrives not to prove God exists to you but to reveal that you already are the I AM in action, and your consciousness is the earth receiving the seed.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, declare to yourself 'I know the LORD now' as if it is already true, and feel the morning light of awareness fill your chest; then visualize a gentle rain of guidance refreshing your inner landscape.
