Neville Goddard on Job 33:14-18 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 33 in context

Scripture Focus

14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Job 33:14-18

Biblical Context

God speaks through dreams to guide the waking mind. He opens ears, nudges us away from pride, and saves the life He intends.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 33:14-18 invites you to hear the I AM within, not a distant voice. The 'God' who speaks is your own awareness, awakening in the night to correct and protect you. When deep sleep settles, your inner ear is opened and instruction is sealed; therefore you are spared from a premature end and from the sword of fear. This is not a lure to chase sensations outside yourself, but a call to revise your life from the inside out. See that the dream's movement is a narrowing away from pride toward humility and purpose. By treating the dream as a real visitation from the I AM, you rehearse the state you desire until it is your living atmosphere. In such revision, the outer scene gradually aligns with the inner posture, and you step free of the pit by recognizing your own consciousness as the source of every unfolding.

Practice This Now

Tonight, assume: I am listening to the I AM; the dream will instruct and protect me. Upon waking, write down any details and immediately revise your plan to reflect the inner guidance.
