Neville Goddard on Job 38:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 38 in context

Scripture Focus

4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 38:4-7

Biblical Context

God questions human understanding about the creation of the earth—its measurements, lines, and foundations. The verse ends with the image of the morning stars and the sons of God rejoicing, signaling order and joy in the divine design.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Job passage you and God stand in the same moment: your consciousness is the workshop where the earth is laid. When He asks where wast thou, He invites you to stop looking outward for structure and to notice the inner act of foundation laying performed by your own I AM. The measures and line are the consistent thoughts and immutable assumptions you accept as true about your world. Your corner stone is the starting point you choose in imagination—the first assumption you hold about who you are and what is possible. The morning stars singing together and the sons of God shouting for joy become a picture of inner alignment: diverse faculties of mind memory desire will perception unified in a state of joy when you dwell in Godward awareness. Real creation is the reorientation of your inner state, not a conquest of external matter. By recognizing that you are the ground of your world, you revise your sense of separation and invite a new order into experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In a quiet moment imagine yourself as the foundation and corner stone of your life. Assume the state I AM the ground of my world, and feel the renewed order as if the earth itself is responding to your consciousness.
