Neville Goddard on Job 19:23-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 19 in context

Scripture Focus

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 19:23-27

Biblical Context

Job longs for his words to be written in a permanent record and declares that his Redeemer lives; he trusts he will see God in his own flesh, even after decay.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner ear, Job is teaching a most practical truth: your future vindication is not a distant event but a present shift of state. The words you long to be recorded are not in ink but in your assumption. My Redeemer liveth is not a distant creed but the living I AM who stands in you now. The line about seeing God in the flesh points to the inner anatomy: what you call decay is only the appearance of form, while your true sight rests in consciousness that endure. The latter day upon the earth is the dawning conviction that God is present where you are, not somewhere removed by time. When you insist that you shall see God with your own eyes, you are practicing the act of revision: you feel the truth that you are forever in the presence of the unseen, and that reality follows the direction of your inner gaze. Therefore, your persistence in the imagined scene of vindication tunes your entire being to a resurrected life of awareness rather than outer proof.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, claim, I am the I AM; these words are written now in the book of my heart. Then vividly feel the moment of seeing God within your flesh, as if it already is.
