Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 36:23-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.

25Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.

Jeremiah 36:23-25

Biblical Context

Jehudi reads the scroll, cuts it, and casts it into the fire. The king and his servants show no fear or repentance, and the intercessors plead but are not heard.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville Goddard's lens, Jeremiah 36:23-25 becomes an inner drama of consciousness. Jehudi's act of cutting and burning the roll is the mind's attempt to erase the inconvenient implications of truth; the king's cold reception mirrors a state of awareness that believes itself autonomous and immune to higher counsel. Yet the words survive in the realm of awareness itself, and the intercessors echo the persistent yet often silent voices of your higher self. In Neville's terms, God is I AM—your eternal now—who witnesses every scene your mind plays out. The outer scene may proceed as if the script were gone, but the inner substance remains untouched and ready to be reorganized. When you feel compelled to burn a memory or limitation, remember that the real power lies in the inner act of revision: you can choose to align with the truth that the decree remains intact under the surface of your consciousness. The promise is not an external validation but the certainty that your inner state can alter the course of apparent events by a simple, persistent shift in belief.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise the scene: the inner king reads the law and chooses to preserve the decree. Feel the intercessors' petition and know the roll is safe.
