The Dwellings Of The Wicked

Job 18:17-21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 18 in context

Scripture Focus

17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Job 18:17-21

Biblical Context

These lines describe the end of the ungodly: their remembrance perishes, they are driven from light into darkness, and they have no lasting name or dwelling. Those who follow will be astonished by their day, just as those before were frightened.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines point not to a geographical doom but to a state of consciousness. 'The wicked' are those who forget the I AM within, who mistake a name, a house, or a reputation for true life. When remembrance perishes, it is the collapse of a past-identification; the memory of who you were fades as you awaken to who you truly are. Light is awareness; darkness is the absence of recognition. To be driven from light into darkness is not punishment laid upon you by fate, but the natural result of clinging to a story of separation. In Neville’s practice, you reverse the scene by assuming the presence of the I AM here and now: I AM God within, the living dwelling place of truth. Feel the confidence of that fact until it saturates your entire perception. The so‑called “place of the wicked” becomes a mental landscape you are healing, not a distant realm. Your day of astonishment is the moment you remember your home in God within, and the fear of exile dissolves as you rest in that awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and repeat 'I AM' as the felt fact of your being, dwelling in God within. Stay with the sensation for a minute, revising any fear-based story into the present reality of consciousness.
