Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 4:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

Jeremiah 4:10

Biblical Context

Jeremiah laments that the people are promised peace while danger reaches the soul. The verse contrasts outward assurances with the inward threat to the consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s timeless manner, the verse reveals that the so-called peace proclaimed by the outward world is only a surface claim, while the inner state remains unsettled. Places and events in Jeremiah become mirrors for your own consciousness: a culture of peace that does not touch the inner being yields a sword-like fear in the soul. The true God is the I AM within, the perpetual reality you are awareness itself. When you feel conflict while declaring peace, you are seeing a misalignment between belief and inner state; yet this is not punishment but a signal to revise. Do not abandon prophecy; instead, re-affirm your identity as the I AM and rest in the unshakable peace that arises from that awareness. By turning your inner life toward the unchanging God within, the outer threats soften as your inner reality aligns with the truth that you are fundamentally at peace, regardless of appearances.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, rest your hand on your heart, and repeat a single revision: I am the I AM; I am peace now. Feel the sensation as if the sword dissolves into light and your inner landscape remains untouched.
