Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 30:14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Jeremiah 30:14

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of being forgotten by lovers and wounded by a chastening foe because of sin, signaling judgment and exile. It also points to a return by turning inward to the I AM for healing.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah is not recounting history so much as describing your inner state. The 'lovers' who forget you are the inner attachments you seek outside: people, status, even comforting beliefs. When you feel deserted by them, you are being reminded that no outer ally can satisfy the I AM within. The wound of an enemy and the chastisement are the discipline of God in you, not punishment from without. It is the inner correction that comes when you persist in the belief that you are separate from your divine source. The multitude of iniquity refers to the enduring habit of assuming lack, not belonging, or disunity with the life of God. Exile is your mind's exile from wholeness, the old story you tell yourself until you awaken to the truth that you are one with the I AM. The return is always possible the moment you assume a new state of consciousness—one of being cherished, guided, and complete in God. In practice, you must realize that the beloved presence is already yours; align your imagination with that truth, and your outer experience will reflect it.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and repeat: I am loved by the I AM; I awaken to the unity of all life within me. In imagination, picture the inner lover warmly welcoming you back into the one Self.
