Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 52:21-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 52 in context

Scripture Focus

21And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

22And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

23And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

Jeremiah 52:21-23

Biblical Context

The verses describe two brass pillars with decorative chapiters and pomegranates, forming a grand temple feature. Symbolically, they point to an inner, orderly structure of worship that begins in consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's brass pillars, though ancient, are your current mental furniture, fixed in awareness. The height of eighteen cubits and the four-finger thickness denote a steadfast structure of consciousness, sturdy and open at the core. The hollow within is not emptiness to fear, but the empty vessel ready to be filled by I AM—the one you truly are. The chapiters of brass on top, with networks and pomegranates, symbolize the adornment of your thoughts when they are circling around a central truth: you are always seen from the divine vantage point of awareness. The ninety-six pomegranates on a side and the hundred round about the network tell of fullness, reciprocity, and the interwoven life of attention held within the temple of the self. If you dwell there, fear and separation loosen; you worship by acknowledging I AM, breathing the sense of presence, and letting imagination fashion reality. What you behold in Jeremiah is the inner church you carry: a structure built by consciousness, held by love, and filled by the living presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a moment of quiet, imagine yourself as the pillar, breathing I AM into every hollow space. Revise any lack by affirming fullness here and now, and feel the presence settling as real.
