Within Idols, The I Am

Jeremiah 2:26-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

26As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
27Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
28But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
29Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 2:26-29

Biblical Context

Israel is ashamed for worshiping lifeless idols, turning to stock and stone while God remains unseen. In trouble they cry for salvation, but such external powers cannot save them, revealing a breach in covenant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s scene is a map of your inner geography. The thief who is found is the old state of consciousness that hides behind habit and image, ashamed when its game is exposed. The house of Israel—its rulers, priests, prophets—are the many voices of your mind clinging to idols—images you have made and then mistaken for power. Their turning of the face from God to the idol is a confession that you have treated the I AM as a distant king rather than your own I AM realized here and now. In their trouble they cry, ‘Arise, and save us,’ yet the cry arises from separation, not from unity. When you ask where your gods are, you are being shown that only the inner God is both creator and Savior; outward forms decline when you insist on the reality of separation. The remedy is not to mend the idols but to awaken to the truth that you are consciousness, and the I AM within you is the only true power. Align with that presence in every moment, and salvation becomes a natural consequence of your worship.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, rest your hand on your chest, and feel the I AM as your immediate reality; revise any belief in external salvation by affirming, 'I AM within me now, and I am saved.'
