The Inner Prophet Within

Jeremiah 26:7-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 26 in context

Scripture Focus

7So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
8Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
10When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.
11Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Jeremiah 26:7-11

Biblical Context

Jeremiah proclaims God’s word in the temple; the people threaten him, accusing him of prophesying against the city. Leaders gather and condemn him.

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear Jeremiah as the I AM speaking through my mind, the inner oracle that must be heard within the house of my LORD. The priests, prophets, and people are the various states of consciousness that resist truth when it arises. The death threat is not a physical danger but the ego’s fear of dissolving an old identity; the charge that the city will become desolate reflects a belief giving way to a higher order. After I finish listening to the command, the outer chorus cannot kill my truth—it only reveals how deeply I have trusted appearances. By assuming the truth of my I AM, and by feeling the word as real here and now, I pass through the gate of my inner temple, unscathed. My revision is simple: I am safe; the temple endures; the living word spoken by God is alive in me and manifests as life in my experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, stand in the inner temple, and declare, 'I AM that I AM' as you finish your inner speaking. Then revise the scene: the crowd dissolves, you remain unharmed, and the city of your life endures in the truth you spoke.
