Inner Flood Rising

Jeremiah 47:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

2Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
Jeremiah 47:2-3

Biblical Context

The verse speaks of a northern flood overflowing land and city, prompting cries of distress, as the march of war signals upheaval and a breakdown of parental protection.

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a map of your inner weather: the waters rising from the north are not a mere intrusion but a surge of thoughts and feelings sweeping through your mind. When fear, judgment, or change presses upon your inner city, the outer signs of upheaval reveal the shift of your consciousness. The city and its inhabitants symbolize the life you have built from your dominant states of being. As the flood swells, the sounds of hoofs and wheels mark the swift movement of images and beliefs that now clamor for your attention. The line about the fathers not looking back to their children signals that you must not rely on past strength or old roles; you stand on the one stable fact—the I AM within, the unmovable awareness. Ground your response in that state, and the seeming disaster dissolves into order. This upheaval is not punishment but the birth of a higher state becoming real. By keeping the I AM steady and feeling it real, you align with the promise hidden in the storm and bring exile and return into your own consciousness as a renewed life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the I AM as your fixed state now; revise any fear by declaring, 'I am the I AM, governing this flood.' Then feel-it-real the calm that follows, as you witness the inner weather turning to clarity.
