Descent From Glory, Thirst Within
Jeremiah 48:18 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 48 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 48:18 speaks to an inner state that must relinquish its glory and sit with thirst. The coming ruin exposes old defenses and invites a new ground of renewal.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jeremiah 48:18 presents the inner figure that inhabits Dibon—your prideful self—telling it to descend from glory. This is not a condemnation but a call to shift from outward glory to inner certainty. When it says sit in thirst, treat thirst as a signal: you are no longer nourished by imagined security, but by the I AM within. The spoiler of Moab represents the inward disturbance that arises when you trust in forms rather than in consciousness. It comes to pull down the fortress of strong holds—those rigid beliefs about your safety, worth, and success. As these inner walls crumble, exile becomes not punishment but the necessary rearrangement of your inner geography. You are invited to return to the quiet awareness that underlies all appearances. In that return, the Moab force reveals your true strength: the I AM alone, the living presence that thirsts no more for external approval. So, let the process happen, and watch how the inner state shifts from fear to faith, from pride to abiding peace.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit in stillness and assume the I AM as your core; revise the scene to say, 'I descend from glory into this thirst, and am being renewed by consciousness.' Then feel the arising certainty.
