Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 19:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 19 in context

Scripture Focus

8And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.

Jeremiah 19:8

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 19:8 speaks of a city made desolate, a spectacle that astonishes and causes those who pass by to hiss. It points to how inner beliefs birth external appearances, inviting inner work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the city is a symbol of your state of consciousness. When you entertain fear, judgment, or separation, your inner city dries up and becomes a spectacle that others behold in astonishment. The plagues are the natural consequence of a mind convinced of lack or estrangement from the I AM. The remedy is an inner revision: you are the I AM, the governor and creator of this city, and you can restore it by awakening to your divine posture. By choosing a new decree and feeling its truth, you invite revival; the exile you feel is a temporary shift in attention, not a final sentence. Your imagination is the architect of reality, and restoration is always present as you hold the feeling of wholeness and live from that awareness.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and revise the scene: declare, I AM the life of this city; it is restored now. Feel the inner streets humming with vitality and let that reality rise within you until it seems true.
