Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 24:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 24 in context

Scripture Focus

8And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

Jeremiah 24:8

Biblical Context

The verse pronounces judgment on the remnant of Jerusalem, using the 'evil figs' as a symbol of corrupt inner states that cannot bear fruit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you the I AM speaks: the remnant is not a defeated city but a held state of consciousness. The 'evil figs' symbolize thoughts and habits you deem unfit for life. When you persist in feeding them, you give them Egypt—permission for the old order to rule your inner life. But the moment you acknowledge them and return to the reality of your wish fulfilled, you prune the old belief and let a new fruit ripen. Judgment here is a revolution of consciousness: as you stop identifying with limitation, your outer circumstances align with your inner state. So imagine you have already become the fruit-bearing you seek to be; feel the certainty of it, live from that state, and watch the scene shift to reflect a new inner Jerusalem.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by assuming you are already living as the fruit-bearing you. Feel the certainty of that inner state for five minutes, then proceed from that feeling in your day.
