Inner Mercy Beyond Exile
Jeremiah 5:18-19 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 5 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares He will not utterly end His people, yet reminds them that their turning away to idols invites a temporary exile; when questioned, the answer is that their forsaking of the true God is mirrored by serving 'strange gods' in their land, leading to a land that is not theirs.
Neville's Inner Vision
Remember, the I AM is not a distant judge but the very consciousness you are. In those days, says the voice within, I will not make a full end with you. In Neville's language: your sense of self as separate from God cannot prevail; the 'end' you fear is only the end of a false self, not your true nature. The 'exile' is a movement within your mind: you step into a land not yours because you have listened to 'strange gods' of fear, lack, or judgment. The answer to 'why does the Lord do these things to us?' is not severity but a mirror showing you where belief has wandered from the I AM. Return to the one land that belongs to you—the inner kingdom where God is I AM. If you think you are being judged or judged by circumstances, revise: I am the I AM; nothing in this world can separate me from awareness; I can claim mercy now by assuming the truth that I dwell in the land of my own mind, not in exile. The mercy is sure; the exile is a movement within consciousness toward return.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and declare, 'I am the I AM; I dwell in the land of divine consciousness; I serve no other god.' Then revise the sense of lack or exile by affirming 'I am always kept; the inner land is restored now.'
