Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 44:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 44 in context

Scripture Focus

1The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,

2Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

Jeremiah 44:1-2

Biblical Context

Jeremiah delivers a message to Jews in Egypt that the LORD has brought evil on Jerusalem and Judah, leaving that land desolate and uninhabited. The exile is presented as outward consequence of inward choices.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read through the I AM and you will see that the Jews in Egypt are not people in a distant land but states of consciousness you have identified with—fear, memory, and judgment that keep you from dwelling in the awareness of the living God. The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is your own I AM presence, witnessing every scene you call real. When the text says ye have seen all the evil I have brought upon Jerusalem, it is the inner history you have believed—your sense of separation from the One Power. The desolation in the land you inhabit now mirrors the mind that forgot its oneness with Source. Yet this is not a final condemnation but an invitation to revision. If you awaken to the truth that you are the dwelling place of God, the external desolation dissolves as you hold the vision of oneness. The message is hopeful: you can return to peace by revising the inner scene and claiming that the I AM now rebuilds. Your present exile becomes a classroom for the awakening of your inner kingdom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and adopt the I AM as your permanent consciousness; revise the Egyptian scene by imagining Jerusalem restored and inhabited with light, and feel the certainty of your inner kingdom dawning.
