Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 21:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

11And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;

12O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

13Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

14But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.

Jeremiah 21:11-14

Biblical Context

The passage calls the house of the king of Judah to judge rightly and deliver the oppressed, warning that uncorrected deeds invite fiery consequence; it frames accountability as a path to purification and eventual deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s word is spoken to the house of David within you—the ruling ideas and beliefs you call king. The morning judgment is your awakening into truth, when you deliberately deliver the oppressed images from fear and limitation. The cry, 'Behold, I am against thee,' is the inner Presence (I AM) confronting every thought that asserts lack, danger, or control. The 'fruit of your doings' follows your inner moves: if you entertain injustice toward others in imagination or decision, you ignite a fire that consumes the sand hills of your mind; if you revise in light of truth, it burns away the forest of old, leaving liberty. By taking responsibility for your inner governance—knowing you are the monarch of your own consciousness—you employ judgment with mercy, justice with compassion, and you invite deliverance from oppression within. This is not punishment from without but the natural correction of your own states of consciousness, restoring a clear, radiant kingdom where fear cannot hold sway.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the role of the inner king now. State, 'I judge fear and deliver every oppressed part of my mind by my awareness,' and, in imagination, feel the release as the oppressed within stepping into the light.
