Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 52:31-34 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 52 in context

Scripture Focus

31And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

32And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

34And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

Jeremiah 52:31-34

Biblical Context

In Jeremiah 52:31-34, Jehoiachin is freed from prison, given honor, and daily provision rises from a higher power. The scene serves as a metaphor for inner mercy lifting a soul from confinement into renewed kingship.

Neville's Inner Vision

The inner realm is the true theater of life, where captivity is a belief and freedom is a state of consciousness you awaken to. The seventy-plus years of bondage symbolize the long habit of limitation; Evil-merodach represents the ruling I AM, the higher order that lifts your dormant self. When it 'brings him forth from prison' and 'sets his throne above the kings,' it indicates you now reign over every lesser image within by the one awareness that you are already free. The 'prison garments' are your old self-image; their change is a revision under the new rule of consciousness. The daily bread eaten before him signifies continuous nourishment from awareness—certainty of support and provision by the Infinite. This is not history but a practical dream you can claim: acknowledge the liberating scene in imagination, accept it as real, and permit the new king to govern until that royal feeling becomes your ordinary awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume Jehoiachin’s release as your own; picture the throne, the new garments, and the daily bread of assurance. Sit with the feeling that you are the I AM ruling your inner realm, and hold that conviction for a minute or two.
