Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 24:8-10 - 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:

9And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

10And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

Jeremiah 24:8-10

Biblical Context

Jerusalem's leaders and the people are warned that they will be punished, scattered, and driven from the land by sword, famine, and pestilence until they are consumed.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, dear reader, the prophet's word is not a weather report from some distant sky, but a mirror held before the I AM you are. The 'evil figs' are thoughts and identifications you have judged as unfit, the stubborn pictures of lack and limitation you still carry in the soil of your own mind. The king and his court, the residue of Jerusalem, and those in Egypt are your current states of consciousness—truncated, dependent, and scattered by fear when you forget Who you are. The exodus into many kingdoms is the natural consequence of believing in separation; yet notice how the 'drive' is only your imagination pulling away from the awareness that you are the One, the Land of your own God. The sword, famine, and pestilence are not external calamities but inner movements that prune away what is not real in you, until nothing remains but the vitality of the true Self. In this light, judgment becomes a mercy: the lamp of awareness shows you what you still identify with that you must surrender. Deliverance is not coming; it is remembered and reclaimed as your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly with eyes closed and revise: 'I am the I AM; this land of my mind is already delivered.' Then feel the release as the sense of exile dissolves and wholeness returns.
