Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 48:11-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

11Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

12Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

Jeremiah 48:11-12

Biblical Context

Moab has rested in ease, fixed in past habits, never moved from vessel to vessel, so his inner taste and scent remain unchanged. The Lord declares days ahead when wanderers will come to move him, empty his vessels, and break his bottles.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Jeremiah's lines, Moab's ease represents a mind clinging to fixed forms. The 'lees' are sediment of habit; the 'vessels' are your inner assumptions. When the Lord speaks of wanderers coming to empty, imagine inner disturbances that compel you to shed old containers and break the attachments that fix your sense of self. The wanderers are invitations to revise your state— you are not punished but asked to awaken the I AM as the mover of your consciousness. Taste and scent are conditioned by your present state; by consenting to disruption, you become aware of a freer self, where old patterns are emptied and new, more luminous forms take their place.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of the I AM that empties old vessels. In imagination, welcome the wanderers, see them pour out the lees and break the bottles, then rest in a clear, renewed sense.
