Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 31:15-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 31 in context

Scripture Focus

15Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

16Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

17And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

Jeremiah 31:15-17

Biblical Context

The Lord speaks comfort amid sorrow: refrain from tears because restoration is ahead, exile is not the final word, and your children shall return to their land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the voice of Ramah is the old memory of lack. But the Lord within is your I AM, the awareness that can revise any scene. Refrain your weeping, not by denying the pain but by not playing in it; acknowledge that your work is being rewarded as your consciousness shifts. The 'they shall come again' is not future delivery but the return of your own attention to the borders of your true being. Exile is a belief you once wore; return is the reclaiming of your inner home. When you imagine from the end, when you assume the state that your outward world will reflect what you have already realized, the outer scene follows. There is hope at the end because you have moved to the end in your mind and heart. So, lean into the I AM, revise the feeling of separation, and watch the appearance of the return as a natural expression of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the end is already accomplished; picture your border restored and your loved ones safely returned, and feel that reality now. Let the feeling of this assumption linger until it softens your current sense of lack.
