Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 33:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 33 in context

Scripture Focus

16In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.

Jeremiah 33:16

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 33:16 speaks of Judah and Jerusalem being saved and dwelling safely, and it calls the people by the name The LORD our righteousness. This points to an inner, God-centered identity rather than external conditions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judah and Jerusalem in this verse are not distant places, but inner dispositions of the mind. 'Saved' means the mind delivered from fear and limitation, a quiet confidence that arises when I AM realized as the LORD. 'Dwell safely' is the felt sense of security that accompanies consciousness that is aligned with divine order. The name 'The LORD our righteousness' declares that righteousness is not earned by works but recognized in the I AM as the one and only standard of truth. When you assume this, you do not seek to change the world first; you awaken to the fact that your awareness is the righteousness by which all things are measured. Your inner Jerusalem becomes a sanctuary of peace, and your Judah—the disciplined, faithful will—moves in harmony with this divine I AM. Salvation then is not a future event but a present knowing: the visible life mirrors the inner revelation that you are the LORD in you.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe and repeat: I AM righteousness; I dwell in safety now. Visualize Jerusalem as a quiet inner city within your chest; let the Lord of your inner land govern all thoughts.
