Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 15:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 15 in context

Scripture Focus

7And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.

8Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.

9She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the land is a state of consciousness, and the fan at the gates is the swift wind of awareness that purges by revealing the false images you still believe about yourself. When the scripture says, I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, notice that these are not external calamities but inner removals of attachments to past roles. The 'mother of the young men' is the nurturing of youthful, impulsive habits in your mind; the spoiler at noon and the sudden terror are the shocks that come when you refuse to stop acting from old scripts. The sword that the LORD delivers to your enemies marks the decisive act of cutting away the old self from the inner soil where new life is possible. And yet the text promises delivery of the residue to the sword, signaling the death of that old being and the birth of a new one. In this light, the devastation awakens you to the truth that you are the I AM, and imagination is the power that rewrites your inner landscape.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you are the Lord of your inner land. See the fan moving through the gates of mind, sweeping away old beliefs, and birthing a renewed, peaceful consciousness.
