Inner Temple Truth Awakening

Jeremiah 7:4-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Jeremiah 7 in context

Scripture Focus

4Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
5For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
6If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
7Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
Jeremiah 7:4-7

Biblical Context

Jeremiah warns against trusting lying words about the temple and outward forms. True dwelling comes from amending your ways with justice, mercy, and turning away from idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

To defy the lie of a mere temple, you must see that the temple of the LORD is the state of awareness you now assume. The phrase 'the temple of the LORD' points to the I AM within, the living current you awaken when you choose to interpret life from inner truth rather than external ceremony. If you thoroughly amend your ways—by how you treat the other, by protecting the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow within your own mind—you invite the divine presence to dwell in this inner place. Oppression, whether toward others or toward your own vulnerable parts, blocks that indwelling; shedding innocent blood is the sabotage of your authentic self. To walk after other gods is to yield to attachments that promise safety apart from inner fidelity. Your covenant is not with a stone but with the state you hold in consciousness. When your inner decisions align with justice, mercy, and loyalty to your true covenant, you inhabit the inner land you were given, now and forever, by your I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling of dwelling in the inner promised land now: I am the temple of the LORD, established in justice and mercy. Feel it real by revising any inner judgment or attachment as you breathe, until your inner state aligns with that covenant.
