Iron Yokes, Inner Awakening
Jeremiah 28:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 28 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage speaks of wooden yokes being broken and a heavier iron yoke placed on the necks of nations, binding them to serve a ruler.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your present consciousness, the wooden yoke is the light, fragile self-image you still think you must carry. The iron yoke is the steady, unyielding law you have already accepted in your mind—the inner posture that shapes outer events. God’s message here is not about literal kings and empires, but about how your inner state commands the moves of your world. When you identify with I AM, you awaken to a fixed gravity of intention, and the iron yoke becomes the disciplined limit that compels every scene to conform to your assumed truth. Hananiah’s rejection of the wood yoke becomes your old ego resisting, while the iron yoke stands for the certainty that you are the author of your experience. The key is not fear or rebellion but affectionate alignment: you revise the sense of reality by dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, in the I AM that never changes. As you entertain this posture, inner movements shift, and the outer scene follows your inner state rather than the other way around.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and feel the iron yoke as a symbol of disciplined inner alignment around your neck. Then affirm I AM and dwell in the feeling that your desired state is already true.
