Job's Restoration Vision

Job 42:10-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Job 42 in context

Scripture Focus

10And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
15And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17So Job died, being old and full of days.
Job 42:10-17

Biblical Context

Job's fortunes are restored. He prays for his friends, and God doubles his wealth, restoring his family and all his possessions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the turning of Job's captivity occurs when he prays for his friends. The external doubling follows a deeper inner conversion: Job returns to the awareness that he is the I AM expressing as a man, and that the universe is responding to that self-affirmation. The gold and cattle and even a new generation point to the complete restoration that follows a shift in consciousness, not merely circumstance. In Neville's language, the latter end is not a calculation but the result of feeling the truth of you as a being already blessed. When you hold the inner picture of abundance and dwell in gratitude, your imagination is not making magic so much as aligning with the natural law of vivified being. The mercy and grace of Providence become your own inner mercy toward yourself, and the outward fruit appears: comfort, reconciliation, and prosperity grow where the mind trusts the I AM. So the story invites you to revise your sense of self until the present shows the end you desire.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already the person who has been restored; close your eyes and feel the gratitude as if the blessing is now. See yourself surrounded by family, wealth, and ease, and dwell in the I AM until that vision feels real.
