Jeremiah's Inner Lion and Eagle

Jeremiah 49:19-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 49 in context

Scripture Focus

19Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Jeremiah 49:19-22

Biblical Context

Jeremiah foresees a conquering force rising like a lion, followed by an eagle over Bozrah, signaling God's sovereignty, judgment, and the trembling of strong rulers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the verse is not a map of distant places but a manual for your inner life. The lion rising from the Jordan is your life-force suddenly facing the stronghold of fear and habit within. God’s declaration that He will make the hunter run away from her means your belief that time and outcome are decided by a power within you greater than your old self. The question Who is like me? and Who will appoint me the time? invites you to an inner recognition: you are the I AM that names your moments and asserts dominion over your inner weather. The shepherd who stands before God is your inner guard, the quiet sense that orders your days. When the earth moves at the fall of their noise, you feel the outer world tremble as you release judgment and surrender to changed conviction. Then the eagle comes, spreading wings over Bozrah—the elevated perspective of awareness that can oversee every fortress you once feared. In that day, the heart of the mighty men becomes as a woman's pangs: fear yields to a fearless, clear consciousness that reigns from within.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM over your inner land; speak softly, I appoint the shepherd of right seeing here and now. Feel the shift as fear dissolves into clear, calm sovereignty.
