Neville Goddard on Job 41:12-24 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 41 in context

Scripture Focus

12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

13Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

Job 41:12-24

Biblical Context

The passage depicts a mighty, perfectly joined creature whose features symbolize the majesty and indestructible presence of God. Its unyielding unity and fiery breath point to the invincible order of the Divine within.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 41:12-24 unveils not a distant monster to fear, but the state of consciousness you become when you awaken to the I AM. The Leviathan's parts—its teeth, its scales, its breath, and its steadfast heart—represent the faculties of awareness, perception, and imagination perfectly ordered in unity. The lines no air can come between them and they are joined one to another describe a mental condition in which nothing can disrupt your inner coherence; you are sealed in a single, fixed realization of being. When you allow your inner light to shine from his neesings and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning, you are not bound by circumstance but by the sovereignty of your present I AM. Fire and smoke, flames from the mouth, are the dynamic energy of thought and imagination when yoked to truth; they reveal the power of God moving through you. The key teaching is that sorrow is turned into joy before him; in the realized state of the I AM, pain dissolves as you dwell in this invincible inner order.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your invincible inner Leviathan. Repeat I AM that I AM while you imagine the doors of perception opening and the inner flame burning with clarity.
