Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 49:1-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 49 in context

Scripture Focus

1Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

2Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

3Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.

4Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

5Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

6And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 49:1-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah pronounces judgment on the Ammonites: their cities will be desolate, their leaders captured, and their pride exposed; yet the passage also promises a future restoration of Ammon.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the Ammonite stands as a stubborn image of security built on external treasures and tribal pride. The call to Israel and its heirs is a call to awaken your I AM, to stop looking to walls and kings for safety. When the Lord says I will cause an alarm of war in Rabbah, that is an inner alarm that unsettles the mind clinging to possessions and social status; the desolate heap and the burning of daughters symbolize the collapse of vain structures and beloved stories you have used to shore up ego. The captivity of the king and priests is the mind surrendering its controlling thoughts to the higher self. Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys that trusted in treasures? That’s your past confidence in outer security. The later restoration—bringing again the captivity—signals your inner reintegration, when your consciousness recognizes its true inheritance in the I AM, your deep, unbound awareness. The prophecy is a map for inner transformation from fear-based possession to fearless, inherited being.
