Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 32:23-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 32 in context

Scripture Focus

23And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

25And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

Jeremiah 32:23-25

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 32:23-25 describes Israel's disobedience and the resulting siege; God instructs Jeremiah to buy a field despite captivity, signaling a future restoration beyond the present judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer scene—a besieged city and a disobedient people—is but the visible mirror of an inner state. The I AM within you judges actions that do not harmonize with truth and then permits circumstance to press in, not to crush you, but to awaken a deeper choice. The command to buy the field is not a stubborn real estate tip; it is a declaration that your consciousness can possess what your senses currently deny. The field represents a future inner state of prosperity, rooted in the certainty that the city you see is governed by your belief, not by famine or sword alone. When you hear that the city is given into the hands of opponents, understand that you are being asked to observe your own fear, resistance, and despair as the very conditions you will revise. By choosing a state of possession now—imagining the field as already yours—you reverse the law of defeat and align with the seed of restoration already planted in your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you already own the field; feel the witness of your imagination confirming it. Revise with a brief line such as 'The field is mine now, and the city is restored in my inner state.'
