Neville Goddard on Job 39:5-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 39 in context

Scripture Focus

5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

7He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

Job 39:5-8

Biblical Context

Job 39:5-8 portrays the wild donkey as free within the wilderness, nourished by mountains, indifferent to city demands, illustrating divine provision through created order.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 39 invites you to read not as a distant animal story but as a mirror of your own inner states. The wild ass is free because consciousness claims its own territory and refuses to barter with the crowd. 'Whose house I have made the wilderness' is your inward decree: you have built the life you live by what you believe and feel to be true. The cry of the driver and the multitude of the city symbolize external pressures that you may ignore once you accept the I AM as your only reality. The mountains as pasture show that nourishment and abundance arise from the landscape you imagine within—tone, feeling, and focus becoming the soil from which your world grows. Providence is not a distant interruption but your own inner order, ready at any moment to supply form and content according to your certainty. When you dwell in the presence of God—the I AM—you discover that freedom and sustenance are already yours, awaiting your positive assumption.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare: I am the wild ass free and fed in the wilderness of my mind; the mountains are my pasture and the I AM provides every green thing. Feel this truth as if it were real right now.
