Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 50:30-32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 50 in context

Scripture Focus

30Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.

31Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

32And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.

Jeremiah 50:30-32

Biblical Context

Plain sense: The passage speaks of judgment on the proud; their warriors fall and fire devours their cities. It declares that pride invites divine opposition and that downfall comes when the ego asserts itself apart from God.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s words disclose a law operating in consciousness: pride is a state that cannot endure the light of awareness. The day against the proud is simply the moment you awaken to the truth that you are not the swollen self but the I AM that animates all. The fire that devours is the purifying energy of imagination when used to burn away the false image of self-identity. When I say the proud shall stumble, I am describing the movement of my own mind when I cling to superiority, control, or separation. In that moment, no one can lift me up from that fall except a deeper recognition of the One within. Thus the judgment is, in truth, a friendly correction guiding me back to humility and right relationship with God. If I assent to the I AM and suspend the ego’s right to govern, the inner city is reoriented, and the night of pride becomes the dawn of true power—not of force, but of harmonized being. The fire consumes only what is not real; I awaken to the truth that I am the presence that cannot be conquered.
