Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 19:13-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 19 in context

Scripture Focus

13And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.

14Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,

15Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

Jeremiah 19:13-15

Biblical Context

Jeremiah declares Jerusalem and Judah will be defiled and punished because they burned incense to the heavenly host on their roofs and offered other gods drinks offerings; he then prophesies doom for the city as they refuse to heed God's words.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the 'houses' and 'Tophet' symbolize inner states and the heat of attachment to external idols. The people worship the 'host of heaven'—symbols, appearances, and beliefs—outside their own awareness, draining energy from the I AM within. The doom is the natural consequence of resisting inner guidance and clinging to idols; the 'hardening of the neck' is a stubborn pattern of thought that refuses to reorient toward the truth of consciousness. Jeremiah's movement from Tophet to the LORD's house points to a practical shift: you can relocate allegiance from external symbols to the one God within. The city and towns become your own aspects of consciousness rebalanced when you accept true worship as a state of awareness, not ritual. By reclaiming the I AM as the sole ruler of your experience, you align with reality, and external conditions begin to reflect that inner harmony.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM in the temple of your heart and declare that you will worship only the true God within; gently release attachment to external idols and feel them dissolve into light, restoring inner harmony.
