Inner Yokes and the Iron Law

Jeremiah 28:10-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 28 in context

Scripture Focus

10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
11And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
14For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
Jeremiah 28:10-14

Biblical Context

Hananiah breaks Jeremiah's wooden yoke; later the Lord declares an iron yoke will bind nations, showing that appearances of freedom are tempered by a deeper divine order.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice, the scene is a study in states of consciousness. The wooden yoke is the false belief that change happens by outward signs or human prophecy; the iron yoke represents the enduring law by which the soul orders experience. The two-year forecast is a mind-made measure that misses the timeless nature of Spirit. Jeremiah's receipt of the word after Hananiah’s act teaches that true guidance comes from the inner I AM rather than external voices. You are invited to recognize that every circumstance is a symbol of your inner state, and that you can revise your situation by assuming a higher consciousness. By choosing to align with the divine order rather than disputing it, you empower imagination to enact transformation. The iron yoke becomes not a heaviness but a fixed frame within which God works through your consciousness, turning limitation into a doorway to realization.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; place your hand on your chest and assume the state of the I AM. Imagine the iron yoke around your neck as the visible sign of divine order, and then revise all fearful prophecies by repeating, 'I am free within the divine plan, and this is my reality now.'
