Jeremiah's Inner Petition

Jeremiah 37:19-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 37 in context

Scripture Focus

19Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
20Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Jeremiah 37:19-20

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 37:19-20 presents Jeremiah addressing the king, recalling the prophets' assurances and pleading for mercy to spare his life. The scene marks how external fears mirror inner states and invites a shift in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you is the inner question of the awakened mind. The prophets are old states of consciousness that promised safety from the world and kept you tethered to outward outcomes. The king stands for your governing awareness—the I AM in action, the sense of being that grants or withholds permission within consciousness. Babylon, the great capital of fear, presses hard not to punish you but to wake you to a new trust in awareness. When Jeremiah says, let my supplication be accepted before thee, you hear the mind seeking to secure a favorable condition rather than surrender to the I AM. The inner teaching is that the external threat is a signal to revise your assumption: you are not waiting for an external king to approve you; you are the one who must align with the reality that your awareness grants. The true healing is to dwell in the I AM and treat every future petition as already granted in consciousness, thus rewriting the story from exile to return not of bricks but of being.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the inner hearing of your petition from the I AM. Feel the relief as if the outcome is already granted, and rest in that certainty for a minute.
