Neville Goddard on Job 9:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Job 9 in context

Scripture Focus

7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

9Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

10Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

Job 9:7-10

Biblical Context

Job 9:7-10 speaks of God's sovereign acts— commanding the sun, sealing the stars, spreading the heavens, and marveling at the number of wonders. In plain terms, the passage points to an orderly cosmos that reveals a power and presence beyond human grasp.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that hears these words, the sun and the stars are not far away lights in the sky but symbolic states of consciousness you command with your I AM. When Job says 'which commandeth the sun,' he invites you to realize that by inner decree you awaken your day and seal up doubt as the stars are sealed. The heavens are not space to be measured, but your inner arrangement of attention— when you alone spread it out, you tread upon the waves of fear and limitation. Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades become pictures of fixed traits within you: courage, discernment, joy— navigable constellations by which you steer your life. The 'chambers of the south' are the hidden chambers of your heart where your creative radiance resides. This is not distant theology; it is a practical relationship with your own I AM, the God within, whose wonders are numberless as you consent to their manifestation.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the next moment, close your eyes and repeat, I AM the sun of my mind; see it rise within me and illuminate every corner of my day, sealing doubt with light. Then revise any limitation by declaring: I command my world; my wonder is my reality.
