Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 23:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 23 in context

Scripture Focus

7Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

8But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

Jeremiah 23:7-8

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 23:7-8 speaks of a coming time when people will no longer recount a history of rescue from Egypt. Instead they will acknowledge the Lord who gathers them from the north and from all lands, and they shall dwell in their own land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks of a day when men will stop saying the LORD who brought up Israel from Egypt and will instead own the living Lord who continually gathers the seed from every far country. In Neville’s reading, this is the realization that the I AM within you is the sole mover—the LORD liveth as your present awareness, not as a memory of an ancient exodus. The north country and all lands symbolize the states of doubt, fear, and separation that you have entertained in consciousness. Exile is the inner drift that forgets you are already home; return is the deliberate alignment with the fact that your land is your current state of consciousness. When you dwell in that awareness, the outer conditions begin to reorganize as you perceive them from within. So in this moment, you do not wait for a future liberation—you declare here and now that the LORD liveth in you, and you are being led home by your own I AM presence.

Practice This Now

Practice: For five minutes, assume you are already dwelling in your own land — your present state of awareness. Feel the I AM as your surrounding reality and revise any memory of exile by silently declaring I am already home when doubt arises.
