Neville Goddard on Job 40:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 40 in context

Scripture Focus

7Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

8Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Job 40:7-8

Biblical Context

God questions Job, urging readiness to face divine judgment. The exchange suggests humility and that true righteousness arises from aligning with the inner order of consciousness rather than opposing it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage the I AM within you speaks as the speaker, inviting you to stand upright and answer from your own consciousness. 'Gird up thy loins' is a summons to ready, alert awareness—not to muscles but to steady, disciplined attention. When God asks, 'Wilt thou disannul my judgment?' the question reveals that every judgment you call into question already lives as a law in your own mind; to condemn is to resist the very inner order that sustains your life. The path of true righteousness is not to argue with God but to accept the authority of the inner decree and align your knowing with it. The moment you cease disputing the inner ruling and instead affirm it as your reality, your world begins to reflect harmony with that law. Fear of judgment gives way to trust; separation dissolves as you recognize that awareness itself is the judge, and its verdict is the measure of what you experience.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume you are the I AM addressing yourself, and revise a current doubt by declaring, 'I will not condemn; I align with the divine order now,' and feel that alignment as real in your chest.
