Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 11:11-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

11Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

12Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.

13For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.

Jeremiah 11:11-13

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 11:11-13 warns that Judah will suffer because of idolatry; they cry to their many gods for help, but God will not answer, and the altars to Baal mark their widespread idolatry.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse is a mirror: the 'gods' of Judah are inner states asked to save them from their own choices. The LORD's warning that evil comes and cries to those gods go unheard reveals that outer trouble mirrors inner misalignment with the one I AM. When a nation (or a mind) makes many idols—the cities' gods and the streets' altars—it multiplies external hopes and forgets the sole source of life: awareness. Neville would say God is not a punitive judge but the living I AM, the unchanging consciousness within. To release the fear and false worship, one must turn inward and align with that I AM, the only true governor of fate. The moment you claim, 'I am the Lord, thy God' as your own awareness, the cries to external gods dissolve and the coming troubles lose their grip. The judgment is simply the consequence of forgetting your unity with God; the cure is awakening to consciousness and worship of the one God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the I AM, the only God in my mind.' Then visualize your mind as a single temple lit by inner awareness, letting the many idols fade and feeling protection arise from your oneness with God.
