Scripture Focus

19For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

20Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

21Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;

22They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

Jeremiah 27:19-22

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 27:19-22 states that the vessels left in Jerusalem will be carried to Babylon and later returned to their place when the LORD visits them. The passage frames exile and return as a divine sequence, pointing to an inner restoration beyond mere historical events.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, these vessels become symbols of inner supports—states of consciousness, the pillars, the sea, and bases of your temple. The Babylonish exile is not a matter of geography but a moment when attention drifts into appearances and forgets the I AM within. The line 'they shall be carried away to Babylon until the day I visit them' marks a divine visitation: awareness enters the inner chambers, and the dream of separation dissolves. When you accept that what remains in the house of the LORD will be visited by God, you acknowledge that restoration is not an external forecast but a law you enact in the present. The prophet's note invites you to revise your assumption: the future return to this place is the natural outcome of an awakened consciousness that knows itself as I AM. Providence is the orderly movement of awareness toward fullness; your inner temple is the chosen place where all vessels are made new. In short, exile becomes a cue to turn the mind inward and let the I AM complete the restoration now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and revise the scene by declaring, I AM the I AM that restores all my inner vessels now. Feel the inner temple being whole as you imagine each vessel returned to its rightful place.
