Inner Fulfillment Of Dying Days
Job 42:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Job 42 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Job dies in old age, having lived a full span of days. The verse celebrates a life completed and filled with years.
Neville's Inner Vision
Job’s outward ending is not a tragedy but the outward sign of an inner resolved state. In this view, Job’s life is the story of a consciousness that endured until it reached the fullness of its days; the old body marks the completion of a long inner journey. When you realize that you are the I AM, the awareness that makes each day, the days themselves stretch to fullness because you have decided that your life is complete within. The chapters before did not create sorrow; they were the movements in the mind of a man who finally names his own fulfillment. The death here is the closing of a long image of lack and the birth of a quiet, enduring satisfaction. You can embrace this by assuming your present moment is already full, that you are advanced in wisdom, and that your future is a natural outgrowth of a now lucid state. Imagination has completed its work on Job; you, too, can wake to your own finished days by feeling it real.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state that you are already living in the fullness of days; repeat, 'I am now living in the finished, wise state.' Then feel the calm gratitude as if the future is already unfolding from this present realization.
