Inner City Flight
Jeremiah 4:29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse depicts a city fleeing before a storm of weapons, with towns abandoned and no one dwelling there.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 4:29 translates as an intimate map of your own inner weather. The city is a state of consciousness, and the horsemen and bowmen are the ceaseless thoughts and impulses you entertain as real. When you hear the trumpet, the outer world begins to flee, but the true exodus occurs within: you withdraw attention from the bustling scene and enter the shelter of your I AM. The thickets and rocks become the inner places where you refuse to identify with noise, where you feel stable, quiet, and untroubled. The line that no man dwells therein is not punishment but a releasing of false attachments; you are invited to return to your kingdom, live from the assumption that you are already there, and let your inner state redefine the outer order. In such a revision, judgment becomes clarity, exile becomes return, and the promise of peace unfolds as your consciousness rests in its own inviolable presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, say I am in my inner kingdom now, and feel the truth of it until the city you know fades. Stay there for a minute and observe the outer world catching up to your inner shift.
