Hearing the Inner Authority
Job 36:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 36 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job 36:2-4 presents a speaker who promises to reveal divine insight, claiming his knowledge comes from afar and that he speaks truth because the Maker is near. In Neville's view, this speaks to the inner speaker within us and the Presence that confirms our truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Job 36:2-4, Elihu positions himself as one who will bring divine understanding, claiming to fetch knowledge from afar and to ascribe righteousness to the Maker, with the assurance that his words are true because the one with perfect knowledge is present. In Neville's mode, this scene is not about a historical speaker but about the states of consciousness we entertain. The I AM within you is the Maker; the knowledge from afar is the deep, unseen knowing that arises when you quietly align with your higher self. Suffer me a little—give space to the current state and let your imagination stretch beyond it. When you assume you are already the one who speaks on behalf of God, you reclaim the authority that has never left you. Your words, backed by the perfect knowledge that is with you, become a living reality. As you revise to feel that you are the keeper of righteousness in this moment, you will see that the world around you shifts to reflect your inner state.
Practice This Now
Sit in stillness and declare that you are the speaker who brings divine truth; mentally affirm that you possess perfect knowledge with you, and feel the Maker's righteousness as your own reality.
