The Inner Roll Rewritten
Jeremiah 36:27-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah is told to replace a burnt roll with a fresh copy containing the same words, reaffirming that the divine message persists despite human denial. The inner truth remains, and the outer action shows that God’s will is unstoppable.
Neville's Inner Vision
When Jehoiakim burns the roll, the outer event mirrors the ego’s attempt to destroy a belief. Yet the word of the LORD—your I AM—lives within and cannot be erased by a single act of denial. The instruction to write again the former words is an invitation to imaginative re-creation: you revise your inner speech until it rings true in the now. The old roll represents a state of consciousness you once accepted; the new roll is the higher assertion of truth you choose to hold. The king and his burning symbolize the ego alarm at the light of your birthright, while Babylon stands for the changing conditions of life that yield when you align with the I AM. By writing anew, you refuse to surrender truth to time’s march and instead declare the kingdom of God as present experience. Your life follows your assumed, living truth, not the fear whispered by appearances.
Practice This Now
Take a moment and imagine you are writing a fresh inner roll on a quiet page within your mind. Feel the words as the I AM speaks them now, and rest in the certainty that your life is governed by that present truth.
