Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 26:2-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

2Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

3If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

4And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

6Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

Jeremiah 26:2-6

Biblical Context

God tells Jeremiah to stand in the LORD's temple court and speak all the words commanded; if the people listen and turn from evil, God will relent from the evil He plans. If they refuse to listen and persist in breaking the law and ignoring the prophets, the temple will be made like Shiloh and the city a curse.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Jeremiah’s scene the court of the LORD's house is the field of your own awareness, the inner temple where you decree your life. The words God commands are the thoughts you will not withhold—your immutable assumptions spoken into consciousness until they solidify as experience. When you ‘stand’ there and speak boldly, you declare to your I AM that you will turn from the old, harmful habits and align with divine law. If you truly hearken to this inner directive, the I AM may repent of the evil you had imagined, dissolving fear by turning toward a blessed outcome. The prophets who rise early are the higher impulses within you—the truths you have heard and must heed. Listen to them; act by the feeling that the end you desire is already yours. If you stay faithful to this inner law, the temple in your mind is kept, not made a ruin; the city of your life becomes a blessing to the nations of your own heart. If you ignore them, you may experience a verse of ruin. Remember, imagination creates reality; you are the consciousness that crafts your world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, stand in the inner court of awareness, and declare the end you seek as already yours. Feel it real now, and remain in that state for several minutes, letting old doubt dissolve into blessing.
