Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 21:7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 21 in context

Scripture Focus

7And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

Jeremiah 21:7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 21:7 states that after a season of judgment, the Lord will deliver Zedekiah, the city’s remaining people, from pestilence, sword, and famine into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar and their enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 21:7 is not merely a political decree but an inner integration. The city stands for your present state of consciousness under fear and perceived power. Pestilence, the sword, and famine symbolize inner disturbances—doubt, threat, and deprivation—arising when you identify with lack. Nebuchadrezzar and the enemies are the personified circumstances you have consented to as rulers in your mind. Yet the word afterward reveals the true movement: deliverance comes through a shift in awareness, not through externals. When you awaken to the I AM—the timeless, sovereign presence within—you dethrone the imagined king and withdraw allegiance from the ego’s tyranny. The edge of the sword becomes clarity; mercy becomes the natural ease of life governed by divine law; you live as one who remains seated on the throne of inner reality. Thus, deliverance is an inner transformation that reclaims your authority over how life appears to you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the I AM in this city; I govern this moment,' and feel the deliverance as already true. See the imagined enemies dissolve and your inner king take the throne of your life.
