Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 1:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

2To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

3It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.

Jeremiah 1:1-3

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 1:1-3 introduces Jeremiah as a priest-prophet from Anathoth and records that God’s word comes to him across a long span of Judah’s kings, ending with Jerusalem’s exile. It frames prophecy as a voice invited into a living history of a people.

Neville's Inner Vision

All Scripture is the whisper of the I AM within. The words of Jeremiah are not merely ancient speech but a portrait of your inner listening. The 'word of the LORD' coming to him in the days of Josiah, Jehoiakim, and Zedekiah marks a succession of inner states—qualities of consciousness you inhabit as you attend to the inner call. The ending 'carrying away of Jerusalem captive' describes the outer life that yields when belief is forgotten or misaligned. Yet the map points to possibility, not doom: you are invited to hear the inner Word in every season, to refuse to be defined by external events, and to return by ruling your life from the Kingdom within. If you take Jeremiah as your inner self speaking through the I AM, you can begin now to answer the call with unwavering faith rather than waiting for external signs. The moment you accept the Word as your own, you redraw your inner geography toward a home where truth and peace are the natural order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: 'I am the word of the LORD speaking through me now.' Feel it-real as you imagine your outer circumstances rearranging to fit the inner decree.
