Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 32:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 32 in context

Scripture Focus

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

2For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.

3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

5And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.

Jeremiah 32:1-5

Biblical Context

Jeremiah is imprisoned as Babylon besieges Jerusalem; the word declares the city will fall and Zedekiah will be led to Babylon.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s prison and the siege are not tokens of doom but images of a mind bound by the appearance of circumstance. In this light, the LORD’s word is the I Am within you speaking calm and sovereign: nothing outside you can bind you when you know whose you are. The city you call your life—your sense of safety, purpose, and control—seems besieged by external powers, yet these powers are only beliefs harbored in the mind. The decree that you shall be delivered and shall speak with the source of power is a reminder that your true king sits within and that the visitation of God in consciousness is ever present. The prophet’s confinement becomes a sacred pause where you revise the scene inwardly: you do not fight the Chaldeans, you reconstitute your inner state. Trust that the inner visitation will lead you, not by force, but by revelation, to a freedom that outer events merely reflect. Your faith is the gate; the deliverance you seek is already present as you assume it now.

Practice This Now

In a quiet moment, close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and assume the inner city is safe under God's government. Repeat silently, 'I am delivered now,' and feel the release as if it is true.
