Inner Invasion, Outer Peace

Jeremiah 5:15-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

15Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
16Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
17And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
Jeremiah 5:15-17

Biblical Context

Jeremiah foresees a distant, mighty nation coming to consume harvest, bread, flocks, and secured cities as a form of divine judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, that invading nation is not a geography but a state of consciousness. The phrase 'from far' speaks to beliefs and fears that lie outside your present awareness; the 'language thou knowest not' is the inner speech of doubt you have not learned to translate or dissolve. The quiver as an open sepulchre represents your habitual weapons—the stubborn opinions and grievances that seem alive, yet are empty when faced with the I AM that stands as awareness. When your harvest, bread, and vines are threatened, the issue is not the outside calamity but the belief that your vitality depends on conditions beyond your control. You are invited to realize that true security rests in the inner sanctuary of consciousness that cannot be impoverished. Change the assumption: see the invader as a signal, not a fact; revise the script to, 'I AM the author, sustainer, and governor of all my experiences by the power of awareness'; feel it real by dwelling in that self-identity here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a scene where you stand within your inner city, untouched by the invading force; hear the calm verdict of I AM confirming that your supply cannot be disrupted, and repeat an affirmation until it settles as lived reality.
