Neville Goddard on Job 41:1-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 41 in context

Scripture Focus

1Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Job 41:1-11

Biblical Context

God questions Job about controlling Leviathan, showing that no human can match divine power or override creation. The passage asserts God's sovereign authority over all, inviting trust in the inner order rather than earthly force.

Neville's Inner Vision

You see Leviathan as symbolic of the vast powers and fears that pretend to govern your life. The text is not a history lesson but a map of consciousness: Leviathan represents the belief that you are at the mercy of forces beyond your control. God’s challenge—Canst thou—exposes the futility of any attempted domestication of power. The true ruler is the I AM within, the awareness that never shifts or shakes. When you hear the cry of the sea, you are being invited to yield to the order of your inner God, not to resist it with willfulness. The line, 'whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine,' declares the kingdom you already possess by admission of your own being. To live this is to realize that outer appearances do not limit the inner decree. By assuming the feeling that you are One with the I AM, you align your life with the order that creates, sustains, and governs all.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM as the ruler of your world and feel it real for 60 seconds: imagine drawing Leviathan out with ease, then let fear dissolve as you declare, 'I am the authority within all.'
