Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 13:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 13 in context

Scripture Focus

6And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.

7Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.

Jeremiah 13:6-7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 13:6-7 shows God telling Jeremiah to fetch a girdle from a hidden place, and upon retrieval it is marred and useless, symbolizing ruin that comes from an unfaithful inner state.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Jeremiah’s act, I hear the law of your inner life: a state of consciousness hidden away, when called forth, exposes whether it is intact or marred. The girdle is not cloth but the living belt of your loyalty to the I AM. When it returns marred, it shows that your inner covenant has not been kept by obedience to the inner law. The Euphrates in the vision is the boundary where the mind’s restless currents meet the truth of being; you brought forward the hidden state and saw its impurity revealed as uselessness. This is not punishment but a call to revision. The moment you take it as a sign that your state needs re-creation, you can choose anew the belief that you are the I AM; you can fashion the girdle anew by letting the idea of wholeness dominate your mind. In that act, the ruin is transfigured into lucidity, and the girdle becomes once more a tool for inevitable fruitfulness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and imagine pulling the girdle from its hidden place. Say softly, I AM the I AM; my inner state is renewed and ready to serve.
