Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 5:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

4Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.

5I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

6Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.

Jeremiah 5:4-6

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 5:4-6 shows that the people are judged for not knowing the LORD's way or judgment. Even those who know the way can break the yoke and invite consequence.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville Goddard lens, Jeremiah 5:4–6 becomes a map of consciousness. The 'poor' and the 'foolish' are the parts of you that have forgotten the I AM, while the 'great men' who claim knowledge symbolize beliefs that still resist surrender to a higher order. The yoke and bonds are not external chains but patterns of interpretation that tell you you are separate from God within. The warning of beasts appears not as a future threat to a city but as inner symbols marking how, when you depart from the unity you are, the imagination must meet your choices with consequences. The answer is not about condemnation but about a renewed assumption: you are the I AM, sovereign over your inner kingdom, and all judgment and power reside in you as consciousness. When you accept this, transgression loosens its grip and the outer world begins to align with the calm, awake state you have chosen in imagination.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, breathe, and declare 'I AM the I AM'—feel the unity as a warm reality filling you. Then revise one stubborn circumstance by affirming that it already serves your higher self within consciousness.
