Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 46:15-24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 46 in context

Scripture Focus

15Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.

16He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

17They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.

18As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

19O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.

20Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.

21Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

22The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

23They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

24The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

Jeremiah 46:15-24

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 46:15-24 depicts Egypt’s collapse and captivity under divine judgment. It frames external power as a reflection of inner states that fail to stand.

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt in this text is a state of mind, a fixed belief clinging to form. The 'valiant men swept away' are the stubborn viewpoints that refuse to yield to the I AM; the sword of circumstance simply shows that they could not stand before the living king within. Pharaoh's 'noise' dissolves when you awaken to the law, for 'As I live' announces a you that cannot be undone by outer tumult. The prophecy that 'Noph shall be waste' signals the clearing out of false attachments, the invitation to captivity of old thought and pride. When you accept the visitation—the inner judgment coming from the north—your hired men and bullocks are the energies that once served a belief now dissolving. The forest cut down is the stripping away of attachments, the innumerable grasshoppers the countless thoughts that chased you. The conclusion, 'The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded,' is the moment your inner identity is re-identified with the I AM, delivered to the north wind of truth. This is not punishment but a revision of your internal climate toward harmony with God within.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet with eyes closed and declare, 'I AM the I AM within me,' feeling that as your true governor. Then imagine the northern wind of truth sweeping away old beliefs, and notice relief and clarity rising in your chest.
