Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 36:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

2Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

Jeremiah 36:1-2

Biblical Context

God commands Jeremiah to take a scroll and write all the words He has spoken against Israel, Judah, and the nations from Josiah's day to the present.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s commission is not a dry historical task but a blueprint for inner creation. The roll is the mind’s parchment, and writing the Lord’s words is an act of fixing a state of consciousness. What you declare inside becomes a lived reality, because the I AM is the source of all that appears. The phrase 'from the day I spake unto thee' signals an unbroken stream of awareness that you can tap into in this moment; you can continue to inscribe truth from the depths of your being. To write against Israel, Judah, and the nations is to name every limiting condition by which you have allowed yourself to be governed—and then to rewrite it with living, imaginative truth. This is the covenant loyalty: remain faithful to your inner roll, revising until your outer world reflects the decree. The words are not external commands but your own sentences of being, authored by you and blessed by God within.

Practice This Now

Take a moment to close your eyes and envision a scroll in your hands. Write a personal decree on it—e.g., 'I now inhabit a life of clear purpose and abundant power'—then feel that truth as real in your body and mood, revising as needed until it feels true.
