Neville Goddard on Job 37:6-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 37 in context

Scripture Focus

6For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

Job 37:6-7

Biblical Context

God speaks through snow, rain, and the sealing of hands as signs that inner states manifest outwardly; the passage invites awareness of a divine order within us. What appears in the world reflects our inner conditions and the activity of the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that Job speaks of the cold and the rain as agents under a single sovereign will, yet in the deepest sense these elements are your own states of consciousness. When you accept that snow is the quiet, persistent stillness of your awareness and rain the refreshing, decisive movement of your imagination, you align with the God within who commands all conditions. The line 'He sealeth up the hand of every man' is not a punishment but a quiet invitation: you close the old loop of limitation and seal it so that you may witness the proof of your own creative activity. Knowing 'His work' becomes a relation you hold toward your I AM, not a fact outside you. As you imagine vividly, you place your attention behind the scene, and the outer becomes the echo of your inner decree. Your 'work' is the consistent act of choosing, through feeling and belief, the state you intend to inhabit. The world then reveals what your inner state has already ordained.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume the end—your desired condition—as if it already exists, feel the inner weather shift: snow of calm, rain of power. Then revise any lingering doubt and declare I AM the doer of this work, feeling it real.
