Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 34:17-19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 34 in context

Scripture Focus

17Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

18And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,

19The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

Jeremiah 34:17-19

Biblical Context

God declares liberty goes to those who heed the covenant; because the people did not heed and violated the covenant, calamities will come and they will be scattered; the leaders and people who violated the covenant passed between the calf's parts, symbolizing shared accountability.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your heart is the kingdom Jeremiah speaks of; the sword, pestilence, and famine are not external disasters but the tremors of a mind unaware of its oneness with the I AM. When you refuse to grant 'liberty' to your brother of fear, you declare bondage to yourself; the calf split represents your own divided thoughts, the two halves between which you have passed without uniting them. The princes, eunuchs, priests, and all the people are every aspect of your psyche who have too easily accepted separation; passing between the calf parts is your habit of switching allegiance between two conflicting states, thus confirming the old covenant of lack. By choosing to heed the covenant inwardly, you reverse the sentence: the exile disappears as you align with the one covenant—the I AM within you—and the kingdoms of the earth become the wonderful inner experiences that reflect your peaceful, unified state. Remember: God is the I AM; the events described are your inner states made visible by your attention. To bring liberty, assume the end of division; realize you are already free and act from that unity.

Practice This Now

Assume now that you are the one covenant: I AM. Close your eyes, feel the unity, and let the inner storms dissolve; live from the I AM and watch external conditions align with that reality.
