When Nations Turn Within
Jeremiah 18:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
If a nation turns from its evil, God will relent from the evil He had planned to do.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the inner message is not about a distant decree, but about your own inner state. The 'nation' is the collective consciousness you identify with—the beliefs, habits, and identifications you call 'us.' When that inner climate shifts from fear, harm, and rigidity to repentance and turning toward higher truth, the I AM—your abiding awareness—revises the plan. The word 'repent' here is not remorse in time but the moment you revise your image of yourself and others, realizing that the imagined outcome of judgment rests on your present assumptions. If you switch your inner program toward mercy, forgiveness, and reconciliation, the divine plan is altered, and the supposed evil collapses into compassionate possibility. In Neville’s terms, you are always experiencing your inner state as outer events; the I AM is always ready to respond to a newly held conviction. Therefore cultivate a certainty that mercy already exists in your life, and your outer world will reflect the inward shift.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine you have already turned from the old ways. Feel the I AM forgiving and see your outer life begin to soften.
