Neville Goddard on Job 21:29-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 21 in context

Scripture Focus

29Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

30That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

Job 21:29-30

Biblical Context

The verses speak of travelers and tokens, asserting that the wicked are reserved for a day of destruction and wrath. It frames time as a reckoning that begins within, in the mind that judges and is judged.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that Job speaks not of strangers but of states of mind. The 'wicked' on the page are not persons but beliefs of separation, doubt, and self-judgment you have allowed to rule your inner air. The 'day of destruction' and the 'day of wrath' are inner times when consciousness ceases clinging to old tokens and faces the truth of unity. You are the I AM, awareness that never departs from itself. When you feel the weight of a coming consequence, you can revise by turning your attention from the imagined punishment to the living law within you—the I AM acting as justice now. Assume that this moment is governed by perfect order; see the tokens of division dissolve as you fix a single, serene feeling of oneness, order, and love. The 'destruction' is the ending of a false story and the 'wrath' is simply the cleansing fire of awareness awakening to its own harmony. Through imagination you may choose the day anew, and in so doing, manifest a life that reflects this inner truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and identify a belief of punishment or separation. Then declare, 'I am the I AM; I now revise this thought and feel its destruction as the dawn of harmony,' sinking into the felt sense of oneness.
