Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 28:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 28 in context

Scripture Focus

15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

16Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Jeremiah 28:15-17

Biblical Context

Jeremiah rebukes Hananiah for misleading the people and warns that his rebellion against the LORD will bring judgment; Hananiah dies within the same year.

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember: this text speaks not of a man named Hananiah, but of a state of consciousness you harbor. Hananiah voices a comforting lie that promises peace apart from truth. The LORD in you—the I AM—is the true speaker, and when you accept the lie you cast yourself from the face of your inner earth, shrinking your possibilities to a belief you cling to. The 'death' of Hananiah symbolizes the ending of a false assumption that rules your experience. When you trust that counterfeit prophecy, you become its slave; when you awaken to the true author within, you revise the pattern and invite a new cycle of life. Jeremiah's stand is your inner command to fidelity: loyalty to your higher Self and to the truth that your imagination can birth what you consent to. So, silence the comforting lie, affirm the I AM as source, revise the image, and feel the covenant renewed within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and revise the belief that what you fear is true. Silently declare, 'The I AM speaks truth in me now,' and imagine the false voice dissolving as you stand in the covenant within.
