Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 11:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 11 in context

Scripture Focus

15What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.

16The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

17For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

Jeremiah 11:15-17

Biblical Context

God laments that His beloved has turned from true worship in His house, acting lewdly and corrupting sacred things. He pictures Israel as a green olive tree whose beauty is broken when evil is done, and warns that worshiping Baal provokes His anger.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your I AM is the beloved within Jeremiah’s page, speaking through the sanctuary of your consciousness. The house is your inner temple where images are formed; lewdness is any thought that desecrates truth by chasing external power. When you do evil in your thinking, you rejoice in limitation, which is worship of Baal — proof that you have identified with fear rather than Source. The olive tree image declares you are planted in God, green with spiritual fruit, not doomed by outer tumult. The fire that is kindled and the branches broken is the natural result of resisting revision: inner energy demanding alignment with the truth. God’s pronouncement of evil is not vengeance from above but the wake up call of your own consciousness asking you to turn inward. So return to the I AM, assume the truth that you are the beloved in God’s house, and feel that reality pulsing as real now. As you dwell there, the old idols fade, and your inner temple bears fruit once more.

Practice This Now

Assume the new belief: I am the beloved in God's house, now. Feel this reality in your chest until it becomes your present experience, and revise any sense of separation by resting in unity as your felt truth.
