Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 30:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 30 in context

Scripture Focus

5For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

6Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

7Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Jeremiah 30:5-7

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of a day of great distress and trembling, yet promises deliverance for Jacob—the inner self—out of that experience.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Jeremiah passage, the 'day of trouble' you fear is not a distant disaster but your present state of consciousness when attention clings to lack and danger. Jacob's trouble is the inner contraction of awareness, the body's and mind's response to a belief in separation from the I AM. Yet the promise, 'he shall be saved out of it,' is the beckoning of your own rebirth: through the realization that you are the I AM, you drop identification with fear. Consider what belief is being tested by this tremor; revise it by declaring, 'I am the I AM, and I am safe now.' The trembling becomes a signal to turn within, breathing into the heart of your awareness and letting peace reclaim you. Salvation is not a distant rescue but the immediate experience of knowing yourself as consciousness, not circumstance. When you persist in this identification, the outer world will begin to reflect the steady inner light you affirm, and the so-called Jacob's trouble dissolves into a new birth of awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and repeat 'I am the I AM' until fear relaxes. Then revise the scene by seeing yourself already saved, walking through the day with quiet assurance.
