Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 21:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

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?

Jeremiah 21:13

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 21:13 declares that God is against those who trust in fortified places of the valley, exposing the vanity of outward security. It points to accountability, reminding the faithful that true protection comes from alignment with the presence of God within.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the psychological plane, the 'inhabitant of the valley' is a state of consciousness that believes security resides in walls and limitations. When the voice asks, 'Who shall come down against us?' it reveals the ego's stubborn assumption that external fortifications can shield the I AM. But God declares 'I am against thee,' not to punish, but to awaken: the inner light will not be served by fear-soaked plans. The I AM, the ever-present awareness, stands opposed to the dream of safety built on separation from source. The moment you take this verse inward, you hear the invitation to revise: stop counting your liberties by stones and borders; count them by the certainty of your own consciousness that you are always dwelling in the divine habitation. The valley yields to the recognition that you, not the world, are dwelling place of the presence. To live this is to feel the truth now: no intruder can diminish the I AM that you are.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your only dwelling. Then revise aloud: 'God is within me; I dwell in the presence now,' and feel that certainty saturate your thoughts and body.
