Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 31:31-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 31 in context

Scripture Focus

31Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

33But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Jeremiah 31:31-34

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 31:31-34 describes a new covenant where God's law is written on the heart, everyone knows the Lord, and iniquities are forgiven and remembered no more. It shifts transformation from external rules to inner relationship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle lies a map for consciousness. The 'new covenant' is not an external treaty but your present state: the law is not etched on stone but written inwardly, into your heart, as you acknowledge the I AM that knows itself as God. When you hear that 'they shall all know me,' it becomes the moment you stop seeking knowledge outside and rest into the inner certainty: I know God because I am it, and God knows me by name. Forgiveness is not erasing a past decree but shifting attention from guilt toward alignment with your true being. If you revise a memory as already forgiven, you sew the covenant into your life: loyalty to the divine within becomes your sole law. Practice this now: treat your day as a demonstration of covenant, quiet the mind, breathe into the heart, and declare, 'God is my God and I am His people.'

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled: know within that you already have the inner law written on your heart; forgive as a present reality and dwell a few minutes in that inner knowing.
