Inner Surrender of Jeremiah 34:20-21
Jeremiah 34:20-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 34 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares He will hand the people and their princes over to their enemies; their dead bodies will feed the fowls of heaven and the beasts of the earth. Zedekiah and Judah's princes are also delivered to these foes.
Neville's Inner Vision
Begin with the inner mapping: the enemies, those who seek their life, are the voices and conditions of your present consciousness that oppose the state you desire. When you read that the people are given into the hand of their enemies, hear it as a symbol: the old, habitual thoughts that have held you in captivity are allowed to surface so you may see them clearly. The 'dead bodies' becoming meat for birds and beasts is not punishment but a visualization of what happens when a story is no longer believed: the past thoughts die and become mere sustenance for new, living energy. The line about Zedekiah and the princes is a reminder that leadership within you—the I AM in you—that once governed may be displaced by fear; yet the authority returns when you reclaim your inner monarch by conscious assumption. The scene invites you to stop blaming outer circumstances and to awaken to inner sovereignty: you are not at the mercy of outside powers but are the self who commands what unfolds. Your present conditions reveal the state of your mind; change the state, and the world reorders itself.
Practice This Now
Sit in quiet, close your eyes, and assume the end you desire by feeling that I AM sovereign now. Repeat I AM the authority here and dwell in the inner sense of deliverance as the old fears dissolve.
