Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 47:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 47 in context

Scripture Focus

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 47:6-7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 47:6-7 presents the LORD's sword as a force that must become quiet, even as it carries a charged purpose against a place. The inner message is that rest in conscious awareness allows the divine charge to work through you.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 47:6-7 speaks of the sword of the LORD, a force set to cut away what no longer serves, yet ordered to quiet and rest. In Neville's terms, the sword is a state of consciousness stirred into action by the I AM, and the scabbard is the disciplined stillness of awareness. The outer charge against Ashkelon and the sea shore represents conditions in consciousness awaiting transformation: not punishment but purification through alignment with divine order. Providence does not threaten; it redirects attention, inviting you to rest in the awareness that you are the I AM and that the charge has already found its true outlet in your inner life. When you assume the sentry's posture--knowing you are the witness who can command even turbulent appearances--you empower the inner movement to complete its work by your consistent feeling of it real. Quiet does not mean neglect; it means synchronized action from consciousness, where judgment and mercy mingle as one living law. In this way, the verse becomes a practical map for turning outer turmoil into inner clarity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM is the witness and the sword sheaths itself in your awareness. Rest in that quiet power and feel the outcome already accomplished.
