Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:19 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

19And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

Jeremiah 5:19

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 5:19 warns that turning away from the Lord and embracing other gods leads to consequences, including being governed by strangers in a land not yours. In Neville’s lens, these strangers live as inner states that displace your true I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

View the verse as a mirror of your inner life: exile and judgment are not imposed from outside, but arise when you yield to ‘strange gods’ within your mind. The ‘land’ is your present state of consciousness, and serving strangers is identifying with thoughts, fears, or patterns that tell you who you are rather than remembering the I AM. The question, 'Why does the LORD our God do all these things?' becomes a wake-up call to reclaim sovereignty. The cure is a return to the one true governor inside—the I AM—by revising allegiance away from idols and toward the creative power within. Affirm your identity as the I AM, and observe how the imagined conditions fade as you stand in your rightful state. Exile dissolves not by changing external events but by re-educating the mind to trust its own divine sovereignty.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit quietly and declare, 'I AM the I AM, governing my inner land now.' Feel you sit on the throne of consciousness; revise any sense of exile or idol worship and enthrone the I AM as your permanent governor.
