Neville Goddard on Jeremiah 7:29-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jeremiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

29Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.

30For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

31And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

Jeremiah 7:29-31

Biblical Context

Jeremiah declares that Jerusalem’s outer signs and worship have become polluted by abominations in God’s house, and that the generation of wrath is forsaken. The text calls for a separation from false rites and purification of the inner temple.

Neville's Inner Vision

You are the I AM within, and the hair-cut is the shedding of the outward self you present for approval. The lamentation on the high places is a turning from every idol that pretends to govern your life. When you place abominations in the house that is called by my name, you pollute the shrine with fears, cravings, and beliefs that you are separate from the One. The Tophet speaks of the heat that burns away the innocent powers of your mind under anger, desire, and control, a harsh but necessary discipline. This is not punishment from an external God but a call to awaken to your true state. By choosing true worship—alignment, holiness, and separation from idols—you reclaim the inner temple and invite God as your I AM to reign unopposed in your life.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet, declare, 'I am the temple of the Lord; I cut away the old image that seeks control.' Feel a slow, radiant cleansing as the inner sanctuary becomes pure, and dwell there for a minute, knowing holiness is your present reality.
