Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 36:4-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 36 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.

5And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:

6Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.

7It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.

8And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.

Jeremiah 36:4-8

Biblical Context

Jeremiah cannot go to the house of the LORD, so Baruch reads the LORD's words from a scroll in the temple on a fasting day, hoping the people turn from their evil ways.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaking through Baruch is not about distant history; it is your own inner word, waiting to be written upon the scroll of your awareness. Baruch writing the words from Jeremiah’s mouth mirrors how your I AM writes the revelation of truth on the sheet of imagination. The temple is the quiet center of your consciousness; the fasting day is a disciplined pause where you listen rather than react. When Jeremiah says, ‘I am shut up,’ it is your moment of inner constraint that invites you to hear more clearly. The act of Baruch reading aloud in the LORD's house becomes your practice of giving voice to the inner decree that you already know: truth is spoken into form by attention. The hoped-for repentance is your turning from fear to faith, from limitation to possibility, as your awareness accepts the words you have authored within. In that turning, you align with the anger and fury dissolved by the calm certainty of I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the role of Baruch now and revise any sense of limitation until you feel the LORD's words being written on your inner scroll. Read them aloud in the temple of your awareness and sit with the turning that allows repentance to rise as a renewed alignment with I AM.
