Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 44:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 44 in context

Scripture Focus

11Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.

12And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.

13For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:

14So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.

Jeremiah 44:11-14

Biblical Context

The passage declares that those who fled to Egypt face divine judgment; their remnant is to be consumed, with no return to Judah except those who escape.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner seeker, this oracle is not about nations but states of consciousness. Egypt represents a settled story of fear, lack, and future insecurities you have chosen to inhabit rather than stand in your true land of awareness. The LORD’s face turned against the exiles is the moment your attention turns away from imagination as a living God toward the memory of limitation. Your 'remnant'—the part that has already set its face toward Egypt—will be consumed by the very energies you cling to: sword and famine become the internal resistances and depletions that follow when you refuse to revise. Yet notice the last line: none shall return to Judah except the escapee. That is the invitation: in imagination you can break free, not by fighting Egypt, but by choosing once more to dwell in the land of your Israel—the undivided I AM. When you identify with the inner land, the exterior scene must rearrange to match the inner state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already dwelling in Judah, the land of your true self; hold this for five minutes until fear loosens. Then revise the scene by affirming I AM here, return now, and let the memory of exile dissolve.
