Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 10:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 10 in context

Scripture Focus

6Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.

7Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

8But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.

9Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.

10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

11Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

Jeremiah 10:6-11

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 10:6-11 contrasts the true God, the living king, with man-made idols that are vain and powerless. It declares that only the Lord’s sovereignty endures and all other gods will perish.

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner world, there is a king who needs no carved silver or purple to prove Its power. The 'idols' described are not distant nations’ trappings but the outward images your senses project when you forget the I AM that you are. The text calls the stock of idols vanities—a revelation that your present conditions, statuses, and possessions are merely reflections of a belief system you have accepted about who you are. When you feel fear, limitation, or lack, you are admitting another king beside the Lord in your mind. The Lord is the true God, the living King—the one who reigns in your awareness, eternal and unshakable. If you insist on a power apart from your consciousness, the earth may tremble; but when you align with the I AM as your sovereign, you displace every counterfeit image and restore balance to your inner world. The outer world then responds in kind, not by coercion but by harmony arising from the realization that nothing but the inner king endures.

Practice This Now

Practice: close your eyes, take a deep breath, and revise: 'The Lord is my true King; I am the living I AM.' Then feel that inner royalty as a warm consciousness seated on a throne within you.
