Neville Goddard on Job 26:1-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 26 in context

Scripture Focus

1But Job answered and said,

2How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

4To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

5Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

6Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

9He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

10He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

11The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

12He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

14Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Job 26:1-14

Biblical Context

Job acknowledges human limits and declares God’s vast, sovereign power, underscoring that true order comes from the divine presence beyond human reasoning.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of these words as more than backward-looking theology; they are a mirror of your inner state. When Job says that God hangs the earth upon nothing and holds back the face of his throne, you are being shown the ground of your own awareness—the I AM that holds all form. The mighty heavens, the cloud cloak, the bounds of waters—these are the vivid images of your thoughts and beliefs, now revealed as controllable from within. The thunder that unnerves the proud is simply the power of consciousness when you remember you are not the body or its stories but the observer who authors them. Therefore, the vast order of creation does not happen to you from without; it unfolds as you consent to a state of wholeness right here and now. Step by step, you can rehearse a new grounding: assume that the divine order is already established inside you, and your external world will adjust to reflect that inner truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling 'I AM the ground of all power and order' for five minutes; feel it real and watch your surrounding life respond.
