Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 47:5-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

5Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

6O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

7How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

Jeremiah 47:5-7

Biblical Context

The passage speaks of a sword of the LORD poised over Gaza and Ashkelon, told to rest and be still, with God’s charge appointed over the sea shore.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah speaks of a sword of the LORD—an inner force that must be quieted in order for right action to emerge. In Neville’s lens, Gaza and Ashkelon become states of consciousness within you, and the baldness and cut-off valleys symbolize the thinning of energy when you resist your I AM. The command to put the sword into its scabbard and be still is a call to inner quiet, not to deny the situation but to suspend reactive motion until a higher order reveals the next move. The LORD’s charge is the inner mandate that aligns your feeling, imagination, and perception with Providence. When you accept this inner appointment, you stop warring with appearances and let your awareness rearrange the scene from the inside out. Your life then becomes the demonstration that what moves is a consciousness that can rest and yet fulfill every appointed task. You are the I AM, and what unfolds reflects that truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM as your constant, sheath the inner sword, and rest in stillness. Feel the inner charge quiet and imagine the outer scene rearranging to match that stillness.
