Seventy-Year Inner Return
Jeremiah 25:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 25 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of the land becoming desolate and the nations serving Babylon for seventy years.
Neville's Inner Vision
The land's desolation is a state of consciousness, not a future fate. The seventy years mark an inner period during which the mind submits to habit or fear— Babylon—rather than to the I AM. This exile is a purification; the outer desolation reveals inner choices and provides the discipline needed to awaken to a new awareness. The 'nations' reflect outward conditions that appear when inner beliefs are aligned with limitation. By choosing the end in mind and living from the feeling of the fulfilled wish, the reader reorients to the inner kingdom; the seventy-year term becomes a symbolic school of return, not a fixed deadline. When you imagine yourself already in the promised land, the inner desert dissolves, and a fresh sense of wholeness arises. The path is an inward exodus: acknowledge the judgment, accept accountability, and turn toward the promise by the I AM, thereby transforming both mind and world.
Practice This Now
Assume you are already in the promised land; revise the desolation by repeating 'I am the I AM' and feeling the relief of wholeness now. Sit quietly and imagine the seventy-year period collapsing into this moment, letting the inner kingdom spring forth.
