Inner King's Oath

Jeremiah 38:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 38 in context

Scripture Focus

16So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Jeremiah 38:16

Biblical Context

King Zedekiah privately vows to Jeremiah that he will spare his life and not surrender him to his enemies. He invokes the Lord who gave life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Zedekiah’s secret oath is not a political maneuver but a glimpse into the throne room of your own consciousness. The living Lord the I AM—as Neville would say—dwells in the awareness that gives life to every thought and image you cherish. When the king says, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life, he is naming a state of protection that already exists in the inner kingdom. In your practice, the hostile voices and enemies are merely sensations arising in a mind not yet loyal to life. By recognizing that the life of the soul is sustained by a decree from within, you align with a royal authority that cannot be touched by fear or exterior circumstance. Neville teaches that imagination creates reality; therefore, you seal your Jeremiah with the same pledge: life is the reality, mercy flows from your inner vow, and outcomes bend to your inner declaration. Let this oath be celebrated as your daily restoration, a reminder that your inner king governs your world by faith, trust, and compassionate power.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner oath by softly repeating: As the I AM liveth, I protect this life within me. Then sit with the feeling of unshakeable protection until fear dissolves and your outer world begins to reflect that inward decree.
