Staying Inner, Not Dwelling in Egypt

Jeremiah 42:13-15 - 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:
15And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Jeremiah 42:13-15

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 42:13-15 warns that turning to Egypt as a shelter while ignoring the LORD’s voice would derail the people’s prosperity; the text invites the remnant to remain where divine guidance calls.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner hearing, Egypt is not a map of place but a state of security built on outward appearances. The LORD’s injunction to stay in the land means you refuse the impulse to flee to safer-looking circumstances and instead attend to the inner voice that never betrays your true I AM. The remnant’s plan to go to Egypt is a symbol of a fixed self-image—your fear-based self seeking shelter in conditions rather than in the I AM within. When you wholly set your face toward Egypt, you declare that you trust the dream of worldly safety more than the divine word, and you loosen your fidelity to God’s constant presence. The message for you now is simple: align with the inner direction and keep your attention fixed on the land of consciousness where God rules. Imagination is the instrument by which you inhabit that land; every assumed feeling of safety, every revised belief, is a new seed planted in your psyche. Do not fight the wind; feel the reality of inner guidance as your truth, and let the outward scene soften to reflect that inner peace by the I AM you are.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit in stillness and affirm you are dwelling in the land of divine guidance; choose the inner voice over outward Egypt. Revise fear-based plans and feel it real as you align with the I AM.
