Dwelling in the Inner Promised Land

Jeremiah 42:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 42 in context

Scripture Focus

13But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
14Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
Jeremiah 42:13-14

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 42:13-14 records the people's vow to leave the land and ignore God's voice, choosing Egypt where they imagine safety from war and hunger.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the text is not about a geographic exile, but a state of consciousness that runs toward Egypt for security. The land you dwell in is your inner disposition; the LORD's voice is the I AM guiding you to stay present in the promised inner realm. When you say, 'we will go into the land of Egypt,' you announce a belief that you are separate from the supply of your own creation. War, trumpet, hunger—these are internal disturbances, shadows that arise when you accept the belief that life comes from without rather than from the living I AM within. The command to dwell is a call to fidelity to your inner law, to obey the inner voice instead of bowing to fear. The moment you revise, you acknowledge that the only safe land is the awareness in which God provides, and you refuse to abandon the inner country for a projection. By aligning with the voice within and imagining yourself already dwelling in that land of abundance, you realize the outward conditions shift to reflect your inner state.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling: I am dwelling now in the land of the LORD's voice within me; feel that awareness as abundance flows.
