Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 51:63-64 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 51 in context

Scripture Focus

63And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:

64And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 51:63-64

Biblical Context

Finish reading; bind a stone to the book, cast it into the Euphrates, and declare that Babylon shall sink and not rise again—these are Jeremiah's closing words.

Neville's Inner Vision

All Scripture is a state of consciousness, and the stone bound to the book is a fixed assumption you make about your life. Casting it into the Euphrates represents releasing that sturdy idea into the currents of your subconscious, allowing the old condition to be carried away. Babylon stands for the present outer world reflecting former beliefs; when you assert that it will sink and remain down, you are not predicting a future event but re-imagining the vibration you hold now. The weariness spoken of mirrors the exhaustion of the old energy dissolving as you hold a new image. The line 'Thus far are the words of Jeremiah' marks a boundary you set in consciousness, not a limit on God. You are the I AM, the awareness that creates your experience. Your inner drama resolves as your outer world begins to reflect this new conviction, and the act becomes a living invitation to inner transformation here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, bind a small imagined stone to a belief you want ended; cast it into the inner Euphrates of your mind and declare, 'Babylon sinks.' Then rest in the feeling that the I AM is already delivering the new state.
