Inner Flight and Divine Alignment

Jeremiah 43:4-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 43 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
5But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
6Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
7So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
Jeremiah 43:4-7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 43:4–7 shows a people who refuse the LORD's voice and flee their land, moving into Egypt. This inner motion mirrors the psyche choosing fear over alignment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe how the scene speaks not of geography but of states of consciousness. The land of Judah is your stable awareness, the I AM your constant within; to 'obey not the voice of the LORD' is to listen to the surface chatter of doubt rather than the quiet invitation of being. The gathering remnant and the captains of the forces are your inner faculties—memory, reason, will—paraded as if they must carry you somewhere safer. Gedaliah, Jeremiah, Baruch stand with you as your inner mentors; yet, because the heart is unsettled, they are drawn toward Tahpanhes, Egypt—the old pattern of security, habit, and familiar fear. When you drift there, you are simply testing whether the I AM is real in this moment. The cure is not more wandering but a new assumption: you are already dwelling in the land of Judah, guided by the LORD within, and every outward movement aligns with that inner decree. In this light, exile becomes a dream you wake from by conscious recognition that you never left your true home.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are already dwelling in the land of Judah, living by the LORD within. When the urge to flee to Egypt arises, revise the scene by felt-sense that you are safe, guided, and absolutely in alignment.
