Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 25:27-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 25 in context

Scripture Focus

27Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

28And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

29For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

Jeremiah 25:27-29

Biblical Context

God warns that the people must drink the cup of judgment; whether they accept or resist, consequences come, and the city named by God faces the sword as a result.

Neville's Inner Vision

The cup is a state of consciousness. The LORD of hosts, the I AM within, invites you to observe the inner movements of belief that birth your circumstances. To drink the cup is to consent to those beliefs; to spue and fall is the purging of an old state by the disruption of a long-held pattern. The sword appears not as punishment from without but as the necessary clearing that makes way for a higher alignment. If you refuse the cup, you are still drinking an inner experience; you can revise by assuming you are the I AM, already beyond the cup, and feeling it real as you are restored. See the city named by God as your true center: your divine self, unaffected by outer events. Practice this by inhabiting the conviction that your outer world mirrors your inner state, and choose to align with the victorious, forgiving power within.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine you are the I AM, holding the cup of your present situation. Revise by feeling that you have already drunk and are restored, letting the sword of disruption pass as you align with your divine nature.
