Neville Goddard on Job 19:21-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 19 in context

Scripture Focus

21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

23Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

24That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!

25For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

26And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Job 19:21-27

Biblical Context

In the face of affliction, Job proclaims that his Redeemer lives and will stand again. He looks beyond present suffering to a future awakening when he will behold God in the flesh.

Neville's Inner Vision

I do not separate flesh from God; I am the living consciousness that sees through the body. When Job says 'my Redeemer liveth,' he names the eternal I AM that never dies, standing now in the 'latter day' of my awareness. The worms of doubt and the ravages of time are but appearances in the dream of separation; yet in this moment I affirm that 'in my flesh I shall see God' means I recognize God as the very sensation and sight of this body now. The inner sight, the inner witness, and the outer form are one; the day will come when I behold God with my own eyes because my inner vision awakens to its invincible presence. The 'reins' within refer to the seat of awareness—where I feel my 'I AM' as Life itself; as this shifts, the world conforms. I am not waiting for a future rescue; I am the living assurance of resurrection here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the state: I am the Redeemer living in this body now. Feel the inner vision as if you are beholding God with your own eyes.
