Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 14:17-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 14 in context

Scripture Focus

17Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

18If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

19Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

20We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.

21Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

22Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

Jeremiah 14:17-22

Biblical Context

Jeremiah laments the breach and pleads for mercy, crying day and night. He acknowledges sin, asks God to remember His covenant, and to send healing instead of trouble.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, this passage is not about a distant siege but about your inner state of consciousness. The 'virgin daughter of my people' is the living condition of your mind breached by fear and doubt. When you move into the 'field' or the 'city' in imagination, you meet the slain and the sick as inner pictures born from old beliefs. The question 'hath thy soul rejected Zion?' is your signal that a new alignment is needed. The remedy does not lie in begging a far-off deity but in returning to the I AM within, the indwelling covenant that remains unbroken. As you acknowledge the misalignment, you invite God in you to restore harmony and to reveal healing as your natural state. The cry to wait upon the Lord becomes the act of assuming the truth that rain, peace, and restoration are already present in your consciousness; you simply rise to meet them there, for God is the source of all showers and all well-being.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I am the healing presence of God within me now.' Imagine rain renewing your inner land and the covenant restored in your awareness; feel it as real in this moment.
