Inner Reign of Justice

Jeremiah 22:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 22 in context

Scripture Focus

15Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
16He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 22:15-16

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 22:15-16 contrasts outward wealth with true righteousness. A ruler’s worth is in judging the poor and needy—this is what it means to know the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah asks: will you reign because you wrap yourself in cedar? The answer is not in palace or lineage, but in the state of consciousness that judges righteously. To know Me is to do what is right for the poor and the needy, to align your inner speech with justice until it becomes your outward experience. In Neville’s frame, reigning is a state of consciousness—your I AM ruling with mercy, truth, and covenant fidelity. The cedar is ornament for the ego; true authority arises when your inner ruler acts with justice, and your world reflects that care. If you wish to know God, cultivate the inner law of fairness: see others as the self you know in your deepest being; the moment you persist in imagining yourself as the one who oversees the welfare of the weak, you awaken divine knowledge within. The father who ate and drank and did judgment was living in consciousness of God; you can live in that same knowing by assuming the feeling of right action toward the poor and by aligning your will with that principle.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you already reign with justice toward the poor; revise your self-image to 'I reign in righteousness' and sense the I AM guiding every compassionate act.
