The Open Quiver Within
Jeremiah 5:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah 5:16 describes outward strength—the quiver—as an open tomb, and calls the mighty to reveal the death-like reliance on force. It hints that true power comes from within, not from external displays.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's psychology, the quiver is a mental image, a configuration of beliefs about power. An open sepulchre shows that thinking power comes from outward tools; yet God is I AM—awareness that animates every scene. When you hear 'they are all mighty men,' hear your own inner state, the crowd of conclusions about strength, and how they claim authority from without. The real Kingdom exists as inner sovereignty; the double vision collapses when you accept that the 'mighty men' are merely other aspects of your own mind projecting strength. To transform, you do not attack the actors but revise your assumption. Assume that the power you seek is already within you; imagine your awareness as the king and the source of any action. See the quiver fade from an open tomb to a symbol of inner sight; feel the reality of the I AM guiding every circumstance. When you live in the end—the life where you reign from within—the world aligns to that truth. The verse then becomes a simple invitation: awaken to the inner government that rules your image and you will no longer fear the display of external might.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: close the open tomb in your imagination by declaring, 'I am the source of power within.' Then spend a few minutes in the feeling that you are the mighty one in your own life.
