Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 30:10-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

10Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

11For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

12For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

13There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

14All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

15Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

16Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

17For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

Jeremiah 30:10-17

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 30:10–17 promises fearlessness, rest, and restoration for Israel after exile. It asserts God's presence and healing even in chastisement.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this passage as a map of the inner states. The speaker is not external history but the I AM within you, the unalterable awareness that steadies you when fear would overwhelm you. When it says, Fear thou not, I am with thee, you are being invited to return to your true center, the consciousness that never left its rest. The wounds and the chastisements are only the sensations of a mind that has forgotten its oneness; they have their place as teachers, moving you toward the realization that you are never abandoned. The promise to restore health and heal wounds is the conversion of inner belief back to harmony with God’s presence. As you imagine from that inner I AM, all devourers and adversaries recede, not by external defeat but by your decision to dwell in the one Home of consciousness. In this light, Zion is not a distant city but the quiet order of awareness where you rest in God, here and now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes, assume you are already in Zion—at rest and healed. Speak softly to the I AM within, 'I am with thee; I am health and rest,' and feel that state becoming your immediate experience.
