Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 3:9-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

9And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

10And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.

11And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.

Jeremiah 3:9-11

Biblical Context

The verses describe Israel's idolatry and Judah's false repentance, showing that real turning to the LORD is a wholehearted inner movement, not a perfunctory display. It invites you to examine what your inner 'land' accepts as worship and where consciousness has wandered.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the whisper of Jeremiah, the land is not polluted by distant gods but by the mind's lightness—the flirtation with fleeting images that pass as devotion. Israel’s backsliding and Judah’s feigned heart are inner attitudes, not mere history. The backsliding has justified itself, for the ego will defend its own balance of false worship unless awareness turns to the I AM. The call is inward: awaken to the one true worship within, where imagination is not used to prop up idols but to reveal the divine presence. The stones and stocks are symbolic forms your mind clings to—relationships, beliefs, identities—that give a sense of safety yet keep you from true alignment. When you revise by choosing the I AM now, external symbols lose their tyrant power and you enter a state of pure faith, a consciousness where devotion is wholehearted and unshakable.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, declare silently, I AM here now, and imagine turning fully toward the inner God. Feel the old idols fade as you rest in the renewed certainty of your true devotion.
