Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 12:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 12 in context

Scripture Focus

3But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

4How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.

Jeremiah 12:3-4

Biblical Context

God knows me and tests my heart toward Him. The land mourns and the fields wither because of wickedness, and people doubt God will see their end.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner observer, Jeremiah’s cry becomes a revelation of the state you inhabit. The I AM is awake to you, knows you, and is testing the vibration of your heart toward divine relation. The line about pulling out like sheep for the slaughter marks not people’s doom but the inner necessity of shedding old patterns—fear, pride, self-doubt—so their energies can be led into the light of awareness. The withering land and the silence of birds symbolize a consciousness that has believed itself unseen in the eyes of God; you release that belief by choosing to be seen by the I AM right here and now. The final assertion that He shall not see your last end is overturned by the truth that your end is already visible within your present I AM-state: you are, and always have been, seen. So you revise by dwelling in the conviction that God sees you, that your trials are purifications, and that your true end is the dawning of unlimited awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, assume the state 'I am seen by the I AM now,' and visualize pulling out old thoughts and habits like sheep for the slaughter. See them dissolve in light and feel the inner land begin to bloom.
