Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 51:5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

5For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

Jeremiah 51:5

Biblical Context

Israel and Judah are not forsaken by their God, even though their land is filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the verse does not threaten abandonment by a distant deity; it reveals that the I AM, the LORD of hosts within you, remains insistently present. The 'land' filled with sin is an inner climate, not a verdict upon your core reality. In Neville's terms, the people are states of consciousness; the sin is a flutter of fear, a thought that hides the truth of your unity with the Holy One of Israel within. To reinterpret is to remember that God is not somewhere apart but the very awareness you now inhabit. When you feel forsaken by outward circumstances, revise by affirming, I am not forsaken; the I AM is here, now, in every moment. Let your inner guidance and providence be the pull you follow; imagine the divine presence steady, unchanging, guiding you through seeming chaos. Your obligation is to cultivate the inner state that makes the outer land reflect peace. The verse invites you to rest in this assurance, and to live from the consciousness that God is with you, regardless of appearances.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and declare, I am the I AM present here; revise the sense of abandonment by feeling the divine presence sustaining you, until it feels real.
