Inner Valley Renaming: Jeremiah 19

Jeremiah 19:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 19 in context

Scripture Focus

5They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
Jeremiah 19:5-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah condemns Baal worship and the horrific rites. It prophesies that the place will be renamed, signaling a turn from death-dealing worship to accountability.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, this text speaks as an inner drama, not a historical event. The high places of Baal are your entrenched beliefs that life must bend to fear; the 'burnt offerings' are the sacrifices you offer to those beliefs to prove them true. The line 'which I commanded not, nor spake it' reveals that such acts do not originate in the I AM that you are; they arise when you forget who you are and listen to separation as guidance. The prophecy that this place will be renamed 'The valley of slaughter' signals the death of the old self as a dream; in Neville's terms, death is the shedding of a thought, not of life. The inner shift is to recognize your true worship is alignment with the I AM, the awareness that creates reality, not sacrifice to fear. When you realize that, the inner terrain yields to a space of peace, power, and compassionate action, and your outward life begins to reflect that reality.

Practice This Now

Assume a new inner name for your landscape today: 'the valley of awakening'. Feel it real by repeating, 'I AM the life of this space,' until the sensation settles in your chest.
