Inner Judgment, Outer Nations
Jeremiah 10:25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 10 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage speaks of divine judgment upon those who exploit and desolate Jacob's house. In plain sense, it depicts external threats against Israel; Neville would read this as a map of inner states that appear as adversaries when we identify with fear or separation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Ask yourself: who is this 'heathen' and these 'nations' that know not thy name? In Neville's language, they are states of consciousness that seem separate, threatening your Jacob, the center of your being. The fury spoken of is not a punitive attack but the fierce energy you unleash on mistaken identifications by turning attention inward. To pour out thy fury upon them is to refuse to defend or justify the old images that have eaten away at your sense of self and left your inner temple barren. When you recognize that Jacob is the inner pattern you identify with, and that you can revise it, the desolate habitation is healed. You call on thy name by aligning with the I AM within, not by appeasing external powers. The end of judgment is the end of resistance to your own impression and its shift; the nation that appeared outside collapses as you insist, I am the One consciousness here. Thus Jeremiah points you to the inner kingdom, not to exterior enemies.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the I AM as your present state, and revise every image of 'them' as a belief within you. Feel it real by dwelling in the sense, I am the One, and let the outer scene fade into inner quiet.
