Neville Goddard on Job 40:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 40 in context

Scripture Focus

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

9Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

10Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

Job 40:8-10

Biblical Context

These lines put human judgment on trial, asking whether finite hands can disannul divine order. The plain meaning is that true authority comes from the I AM within, not from ego's self-assertion.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job's challenge is not to your history but to your present sense of self. When the voice asks, wilt thou disannul my judgment? it is the soul speaking for you: can you condemn the very law that gives life to your world? The arm of God and a thunderous voice symbolize the boundless power of your imagination when it stands in oneness with the I AM within. If you seek to prove power by strife or outer show, you reveal a split mind still trying to rule from without. The directive deck thyself with majesty is not a command to adorn the body but an invitation to clothe your inner state with divine regal presence—trust, clarity, and loving authority. Your life shifts not by arguing with others about judgment, but by choosing to inhabit the inner governor of your own heart. As you assume the omnipresent I AM now, your outer scene becomes a natural expression of that unity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your heart, and assume 'I am the I AM, and I govern my life from within,' letting that radiant authority settle in your chest for one minute.
