Inner Choice in Jeremiah 38:2

Jeremiah 38:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 38 in context

Scripture Focus

2Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
Jeremiah 38:2

Biblical Context

Staying in the troubled city leads to death; stepping out toward the Chaldeans yields life.

Neville's Inner Vision

This verse whispers a foundational Neville truth: your external situation is but a mirror of your inner state. The city represents the present pattern of consciousness you cling to—fear, limitation, and the belief that life depends on outward conditions. To remain is to consent to the inner die-off of identity; to go forth to the Chaldeans is to move your attention into the I AM, the sustaining awareness within you. When you choose the inner movement toward that divine mind, you discover that life is not at the mercy of circumstance but secured by your alignment with the higher order of consciousness. The ‘life for a prey’ is your inner sovereignty, a claim that true vitality belongs to the Self that never abandons its own awareness. In this light, salvation and redemption are present-tense acts of revision: you rewrite the story by choosing a new center of gravity—the indwelling I AM—until the nearness of God becomes your natural state, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I go forth to the Chaldeans now and live by the I AM within.' Allow the feeling of secure life to rise and linger for a minute, as you inhabit the inner shift that makes reality bend to your revived consciousness.
