Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 36:1-3 - 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.

3It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

Jeremiah 36:1-3

Biblical Context

God tells Jeremiah to write all His words on a book against Israel, Judah, and the nations. The aim is that Judah may hear, turn from their evil ways, and God may forgive their iniquity and their sin.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s commission to write a roll of the Lord’s words is a blueprint for your inner life. The house of Judah represents your current state of consciousness; its readiness to hear is your willingness to awaken. When you hear the call to return from your evil ways, you are invited to turn your attention from habitual thoughts to the I AM within—to the immutable awareness that remains even when you forget it. In this light, forgiveness is not a distant mercy but a renewal of your own inner atmosphere. To forgive is to dissolve the belief in separation and to align with the divine pattern that governs your life. The line I may forgive their iniquity becomes your declaration that you can forgive yourself for mistakes and revise your life from within. So the roll Jeremiah writes is your own script for transformation. As you imagine the words already spoken turning to truth in your life, your outer world begins to move with the cadence of this inner covenant of love.

Practice This Now

Take a moment and write a fresh roll of words on paper or in your mind, as if God’s message already stands true. Then imagine yourself feeling forgiven and aligned with your highest self, and notice your surroundings responding.
