Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 41:16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 41 in context

Scripture Focus

16Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:

Jeremiah 41:16

Biblical Context

Johanan and the remnant gather the survivors from Mizpah after Gedaliah’s death; the text shows a remnant preserved and brought to safety. It signifies that even after catastrophe, a portion of you remains intact, ready for renewal.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 41:16 speaks of a gathering of the remnant by the captains who stand with Johanan, a symbol for how your consciousness reorganizes itself after upheaval. The remnant is not a broken fragment but the core you have not relinquished. The slain Gedaliah marks the old order of fear and lack; Ishmael’s act is the illusion that you lost everything. Yet the remnant is retrieved by Johanan—the will to act—and by the captains who align with the I AM. Mizpah and Gibeon are inner theatres where memories and conditions were housed; by a new assumption they are called forth and brought into present awareness. Providence here is your inner law of assumption: what you imagine as true becomes the pattern of your life. Therefore, rather than lament, you declare: I am the remnant recovered; I am being gathered and restored under the command of awareness. Uphold this inner motion, and restoration and deliverance unfold in your experience as you persist in imagination and feel it real.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the remnant gathered by the captains of inner strength. Imagine every lost part returning to me from Mizpah and Gibeon, now restored in present awareness; feel the release of deliverance.
