Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 39:4-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 39 in context

Scripture Focus

4And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.

5But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.

Jeremiah 39:4-5

Biblical Context

Zedekiah flees the city at night and is overtaken in the plains of Jericho, then brought to Nebuchadnezzar for judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

All these events are not about a historical king alone, but about states of your own mind. Zedekiah represents the I that flees truth when fear asserts itself. The night flight, the narrow way between two walls, and the plain are inner geography: the move from a layered self to a raw, exposed state of awareness where consequences must meet you. The Chaldeans’ pursuit is the law of cause and effect tightening its grip as long as fear governs. Being brought to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah is your inner verdict—your mind's decision about what you truly accept as real. The judgment is not punitive, but clarifying: it reveals the alignment (or misalignment) of your inner state with the reality you imagine. To enter the Kingdom of God, you do not escape judgment; you revise the state that calls it forth. Return to the inner city as the one who knows you are more than the fleeing self; affirm I AM presence in the gate of your mind, and allow the inner order to settle.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and revise: I am the I AM, safe and unflinching in the inner gate of my mind. Feel it real by breathing into that certainty until calm replaces fear.
