Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 7:12-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

12But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

13And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

14Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

Jeremiah 7:12-14

Biblical Context

Jeremiah 7:12-14 warns that the place God named at Shiloh will be judged and desolated because the people refuse to listen and continue in wicked acts. It teaches that inner loyalty to God’s presence governs the fate of the temple you trust.

Neville's Inner Vision

The text invites you to see the outer house as a symbol of your inner state. Shiloh’s fate becomes the mirror of your own consciousness: when you ignore the steady calls of your I AM and dwell in fear or habit, the temple you trust loses its vitality. In Neville's terms, the presence of God is an inner state you must actively assume. The warning becomes an invitation to revise your assumption of lack, affirm the power of awareness, and imagine the temple alive with God’s name. Your true temple is not a stone but a state of consciousness that endures only as you maintain fidelity to the inner call and respond from the certainty of I AM. By aligning thought, feeling, and action with that divine presence, you reoccupy and renew the temple according to the law of consciousness.

Practice This Now

Practice: Assume that your inner temple is still sacred and inhabited by the Name. Tonight, repeat, 'I am the Presence in this temple,' and feel the reality of that awareness as you fall asleep.
