Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 34:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 34 in context

Scripture Focus

12Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

13Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,

14At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.

Jeremiah 34:12-14

Biblical Context

God recounts the covenant made with Israel at the Exodus, commanding release of Hebrew slaves after seven years; the forefathers did not listen. The passage hints at a deeper inner law about freedom from bondage.

Neville's Inner Vision

God’s word in Jeremiah is spoken as a call to awaken in your own consciousness. The covenant is not a distant contract but an inner agreement with the I AM within you—the You who observes and creates. The seven years symbolize the time you have given your mind to believe itself bound; when those years end, true release occurs as you assume a different state of being. The refusal of your ancestors to listen mirrors old habits that resist the truth of liberty; you too must listen to the inward law of your own nature. The bondage spoken of is the belief in lack or limitation, not your actual status. When you declare, 'I am free,' and feel that truth as present tense, the slave is released and you enter a land of awareness beyond fear. Deliverance comes not from without but from a conscious acceptance of your I AM as the sole power and your God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: close your eyes, declare 'I am free now,' and feel it as real. Imagine the seven-year horizon dissolving into a single moment where freedom reigns in awareness.
