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.

9And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.

10Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people.

Jeremiah 36:8-10

Biblical Context

Baruch reads Jeremiah's words aloud from the scroll in LORD's house as the people gather for a fast in Jerusalem. The scene centers on public reading and listening to the prophetic message.

Neville's Inner Vision

Baruch is the scribe of your inner state, the I AM that reads the Word within you. The LORD's house is the temple of mind where you listen to your higher decree. The fast represents a turning away from outer noise so that a truer state can speak. When Baruch reads Jeremiah's words, the 'book' is your current belief, and the 'words' are the commands of your inner governor. The audience—the people in the chamber and at the gates—are the parts of yourself attentive to transformation. By trusting the reader's authority, you demonstrate covenant loyalty: you choose to align with the inner truth rather than with appearances. The outward ritual points to a practical art: imagination can move the heart to accept a new truth as already real. If you assume the Word in the present tense and imagine it spoken within your mind, you awaken the inner condition that matches the prophecy's fulfillment. In short, the public reading becomes an invitation to drop doubt and dwell in the certainty that God—the I AM—speaks and you answer.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner Baruch now: in your mind's temple, read the Word aloud and let it anchor your belief. Then feel the truth as already real in your life.
