Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 46:9-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 46 in context

Scripture Focus

9Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

10For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

Jeremiah 46:9-10

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 46:9-10 describes a day of the Lord marked by warfare imagery and divine vengeance against enemies. It culminates in the affirmation that a sacred judgment will be carried out, the sword devouring until the adversaries are accounted for.

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the scene as a symbolic map of your own consciousness. The horses, chariots, and mighty men are not external armies but restless states of mind—anger, fear, fixed judgments, and the habit of control. The 'day of the Lord' is the moment you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the awareness that chooses how to answer life rather than being driven by it. The north country by the Euphrates represents those forgotten beliefs you have kept in shadow, the parts of you you have not yet welcomed into light. To see the sword devouring and becoming drunk with blood is to witness your old identifications dissolving as you acknowledge them and release their charge. This is not destruction of others but a transfiguration of your inner battlefield into a field of harmony under your own sovereignty. By calling up your inner army, you practice turning every impulse into a teacher, until fear is consumed by the awareness that you are the sovereign, and love becomes your operative force.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the Lord within you as your immediate awareness. Declare, 'This old conflict is over,' and feel the inner shift dissolve the charged emotions.
