Read Jeremiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

3But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.

4So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.

Jeremiah 43:3-4

Biblical Context

Baruch seeks to set you against us by delivering us to the Chaldeans, while Johanan and the captains disobey the LORD's command to dwell in Judah.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 43:3-4 speaks to the inner drama of your consciousness. Baruch, Johanan, and the people symbolize competing currents within you—fears, loyalties, and impulses. The line about delivering you into the hand of the Chaldeans reveals a fear-driven impulse to exile from the place you call home in mind. But the LORD's voice is the I AM within, the steadfast awareness that invites you to remain where true life unfolds. When you listen to the inner call and choose to stay in the land of Judah—the state of consciousness you honor as your true throne—your external circumstances align with that inner decision. The exile and return theme points to the rhythm of inner movement: allowing old beliefs to pass away only to be replaced by a more faithful, awake attention. By recognizing that judgment and accountability belong to the inner realm, you reclaim your power to shape reality through persistent inner alignment. In this moment, you are invited to reorder your inner landscape so the outer scene reflects your settled, unshaken awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Assume you hear the inner command to stay in Judah and feel yourself already dwelling there; revise the scene in your mind until it feels utterly real.
