Neville Goddard on Job 15:24-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 15 in context

Scripture Focus

24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

Job 15:24-27

Biblical Context

The passage portrays trouble and fear that seize a man who defends himself with armor of pride, as he appears to battle God. It points to an inner drama where ego contends with the divine I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this text we glimpse the inner theatre of consciousness. Trouble and anguish are not external assaults but waves in the mind that shake awareness of the I AM. The king-figure, ready for battle, embodies the ego’s claim to control, stretching a hand against God and pressing on the Almighty. His neck is pressed by the heavy armor of self-importance; his face is hid by fatness—the ego’s corralling of pleasure, attachment, and image. Neville reads this as a call to stop fighting the life within and to awaken to the one reality: the I AM that I am. When I identify with the divine within, the imagined conflict loses its grip; the scene dissolves as I revise it from a battle to a quiet reign. The fear dissolves when I realize I am always the awareness, never the actor in the war, but its observer and governor.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the role of the inner observer, and declare: I am the I AM, the Lord of this inner realm. Feel the fear soften as you align with God within.
