Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 25:3-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 25 in context

Scripture Focus

3From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.

4And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

5They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

6And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

7Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

Jeremiah 25:3-7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 25:3-7 records the Lord’s message spoken through prophets for years, yet the people refuse to listen and persist in their evil ways and idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Jeremiah text you hear the inner word of the LORD as the I AM awakened in consciousness. The long “prophets rising early” are the inner messengers you have trained to overlook; the call to turn away from evil ways and to avoid other gods is a call to halt reliance on external images and to attend to the inner source. Your inner land—the land given to you and your fathers—is the kingdom of your own mind, accessible when you turn from fear, habit, and distraction. If you heed the inner voices, you cease provoking your own hurt by clinging to outward works and rituals. The message is not a threat from history but a present embodiment: return to the self that never left you, and you will dwell in peaceful awareness rather than in the toil of self-created images. The LORD’s words promise safety and no injury when you rest in the truth of I AM.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly and assume the inner messenger is speaking through you now; revise one habitual thought by affirming, I am the I AM, and feel the inner kingdom as present.
