Inner Moab: Fear, Pit, Snare

Jeremiah 48:43-44 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 48 in context

Scripture Focus

43Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
44He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 48:43-44

Biblical Context

Jeremiah warns that fear brings imagined traps for Moab; those who flee fear fall into a pit, and those who rise out get caught in a snare, as the LORD declares a year of visitation.

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear is not your enemy; it is a sign that you have identified with a thought, a state of consciousness that looks like danger. In Jeremiah 48:43-44, Moab’s fate mirrors the believer who flees inwardly: fear becomes the pit, and rising out of it becomes a snare only if you keep gripping the image. The "year of visitation" is not a calendar event but a moment of realization—that you are the I AM, the awareness that cannot be shaken by an image. When you stop fleeing, you stop feeding the pit; when you stop clutching the pit, you release the snare. Your only temptation is to re-enter the scene with a new, more luminous assumption: I am the watcher, I am unshakable, I am the one who creates by acknowledging, not resisting. Imagination then becomes the instrument of your liberty, not a chain. So, this verse invites you to dwell in the present awareness, watching fear without surrender, and thereby invite the visitation of a fearless, creative life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the I AM is the only reality, and feel, 'Fear is a passing image; I remain the awareness that does not flee.' Then imagine stepping out of the pit into a clear space, where the snare dissolves.
