Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 26:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

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 26:4-6

Biblical Context

God warns that if the people do not listen to the Lord and walk in his law, the temple will be made like Shiloh and the city will become a curse among the nations.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard perspective, the warning becomes a doctrine of inner states. The 'house' before you and the 'city' of your life are not mere buildings but the conditions of your consciousness. When you refuse to heed the inner law and neglect the inner voices—the prophets within—you sever the alignment between your inner state and outer experience. The imagery of Shiloh and a cursed city signifies what happens when consciousness loses its sacred order: your inner center loses power and your outward life mirrors that loss. The remedy is inner reorientation: acknowledge the divine law as a present-tense reality, listen to the inner voices as your I AM, and respond with faithful alignment. Imagination creates form; by assuming you already live in harmony with the law and continuously revising any discord, you transform outer conditions to reflect inner peace. This is not punishment but a correction of consciousness to its natural state of coherence with the law.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you already walk in the divine law; say, 'I am aligned with the law that governs my life,' and sense the inner sanctuary of your mind becoming steady. If doubts arise, revise by returning to that assumption immediately.
