Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 24:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 24 in context

Scripture Focus

1The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

2One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

Jeremiah 24:1-2

Biblical Context

Two baskets—good figs and naughty figs—stand before the temple, signaling two inner states that determine life after upheaval; choose the inner fruit you wish to see.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this vision, the temple is your mind; the two baskets reveal the law of life: your outer world follows your inner state. The carried-away captives are not a distant history but your past identifications with lack and limitation. The good figs show a ripe, ready consciousness—the I AM aware, steadfast, creative. The naughty figs show residual fear, doubt, and the belief that life governs you from without. The moment you hold a new state—'I am whole, I have abundance, I am free'—you shift the entire field. Nebuchadnezzar’s exile is the old self leaving and the newer you entering; you are not condemned but offered a choice. By dwelling in the feeling of the fulfilled condition, you revise the scene and invite the good to occupy your screen. The verse invites you to trust the inner law: imagination creates reality when you persist in the I AM and let go of the old figs.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, envision the two baskets before you, pick the good figs, and feel the state of fullness as if it is already yours. Repeat, until the feeling of the fulfilled condition saturates your awareness.
