Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 51:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

1Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;

2And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.

Jeremiah 51:1-2

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 51:1-2 speaks of the LORD raising a destroying wind against Babylon, set to fan and empty the land in the day of trouble. Symbolically, it reveals how outer judgments reflect inner states and how the self can be cleared by inward movement.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Jerusalem recognizes that the 'destruction wind' in Jeremiah is not an external punishment but a description of how your mind disassembles what you no longer affirm. The destroying wind is the eroding force of a state of consciousness you no longer inhabit—beliefs, stories, identifications—pulled away by the higher movement of I AM awareness. The fanners sent against Babylon are the subtle thoughts that fan and separate; they do not punish, they clarify. When you accept that God is within you, these winds reveal what your inner land looks like when emptied of fear and blame. The 'day of trouble' becomes a moment of profound revision, a clearing where you can replant your land with a new sense of power, order, and promise. Remember that the Kingdom of God is within; the external map merely mirrors your inner geography. As you keep your attention on I AM, you align with the decree of renewal already spoken in you, and the old city dissolves as you inhabit your true state.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I AM that I AM.' Revise your inner image to the now-present Kingdom within, as the wind sweeps away old judgments.
