Neville Goddard on Job 5:19-20 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 5 in context

Scripture Focus

19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

Job 5:19-20

Biblical Context

The passage promises deliverance through a sequence of troubles and protection from famine and the sword. It points to an inner governing I AM that redeems and sustains you in crisis.

Neville's Inner Vision

Job 5:19–20 is not a ledger of external events but a map of states of consciousness. The six troubles and the seven that touch you represent the inner storms your attention may allow; yet the inner I AM—God within you—delivers when you align with that awareness. Famine is the appearance of need; you redeem from it by recognizing that your life is governed by the I AM, not by lack. War is but a suggestion of conflict; you disarm it by maintaining the mood of safety in imagination. When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled—being delivered, being redeemed, untouched by danger—you release the power of your mind to reorder circumstances. Imagination becomes the causal tool, not a mere fantasy; it creates the conditions you inhabit. You are the deliverer, the shelter, the one who walks through crisis with quiet certainty.
