Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 11:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;

3And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,

4Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:

5That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.

Jeremiah 11:1-5

Biblical Context

The passage calls Judah to hear and keep the covenant God made when bringing them out of Egypt. It warns that disobedience curses the people, while obedience binds them to God and secures the land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider how the decree speaks not of distant lands but of your inner state. Jeremiah’s call to ‘hear ye the words of this covenant’ is your invitation to listen to the inner law of your own I AM. To obey is to align your thoughts, feelings, and choices with that law; disobedience is merely a moment of identification with lack, fear, or separation. When you choose to obey, you become the people who belong to God—awareness becomes familiar, steady, and present. The ‘land flowing with milk and honey’ is the lived atmosphere of ease, nourishment, and gratitude that follows from living in harmony with your higher self. The oath sworn to your fathers is your own vow renewed in the now: I hear, I obey, I dwell in the promise. The memory of Egypt—the iron furnace—becomes a symbol of old habits you release by the act of assuming the truth that you are already possessed of all. So be it—this is the inward agreement that creates your outward world.
