Neville Goddard on Job 4:10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 4 in context

Scripture Focus

10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

Job 4:10

Biblical Context

The verse declares that the lion’s roar and its teeth are broken, signaling that the external threat is rendered powerless.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner court of your consciousness, the lion is a symbol of power you imagined outside yourself. The roar, the voice, and the teeth are not monsters to be slain but images you project from fear. When you claim the I AM—the awareness that you are the unseen presence—the roar loses its bite. The breaking of the lion’s teeth is the moment you stop giving your life to the picture and begin revising it from the state of wholeness. Deliverance comes not by changing the world but by changing your state of mind; as you dwell in the certainty that you are the I AM here now, the ferocity dissolves into quiet power. The future fear dissolves into present peace, because the kingdom you seek is already within you, waiting to be recognized. This is the heart of hope and redemption: a shift from dependence on external signs to an inner state that cannot be shaken.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state, 'I AM that I AM here now.' Feel the roar fade and the teeth become harmless as you rest in the felt sense of inner sovereignty.
