Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 18:18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 18 in context

Scripture Focus

18Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Jeremiah 18:18

Biblical Context

The verse shows a conspiratorial plan against Jeremiah—depicting the law, counsel, and the word of the prophet—as they intend to silence him with their words. It reveals how outer voices try to override inner truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the conspirators are not distant actors but the forces of your own mind resisting a larger truth taking shape within you. The law, the priest, the wise, and the prophet symbolize interior faculties: discipline, ritual, discernment, and inner voice. They fear the prophet’s word because it might unsettle established patterns of thought. In Neville’s view, this scene is a state of consciousness, and Jeremiah is the living Word you carry—the I AM that cannot be vanquished by outer criticism. When you acknowledge that this word persists, the outer scene loses its grip over you. The remedy is to assume the truth of your inner prophet: revise the moment with a firm declaration of identity, I AM the law, my word is alive, and no tongue of fear can undo it. As you hold this inner alignment, the imagined conspiracy dissolves and your inner reality rises to meet you.

Practice This Now

Practice: Sit quietly, place a hand on your heart, and repeat: I AM the law; my word cannot be silenced. Visualize the outer voices fading as you hear your inner prophet speak clearly.
