Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 49:30-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 49 in context

Scripture Focus

30Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

31Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

Jeremiah 49:30-31

Biblical Context

The passage commands fleeing from a looming threat and directs attention toward an inner, carefree wealth that dwells beyond gates and bars.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this oracle, the danger spoken of is not a marching army but a waking dream of consciousness. Hazor is a mind that dwells in complacent fear—lives by habit as if there were gates and bars outside that could imprison it. The Lord’s ‘counsel against you’ and the Babylonian purpose are the talking figures of a trouble you have allowed to occupy your attention. The sentence to ‘flee… and dwell deep’ invites you to withdraw the attention from that dream and to rise into a different state of being. The call to ‘arise unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care’ is a summons to identify with the inner realm where wealth is not measured by gold but by awareness, gates and bars dissolved by the consciousness that you are the I AM. To dwell alone is to sit in quiet communion with the Source, where no external scheme can shake you. Practically, you revise your perception: imagine the troubling picture dissolving, and affirm that you already live in a secure, abundant consciousness, untouched by the world’s plans.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and step into the inner city of awareness, where fear cannot enter. Repeat, 'I AM' and feel it real that you already dwell in the wealthy, gate-less nation of your own consciousness.
