Neville Goddard on Jonah 3:1-2 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jonah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

2Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.

Jonah 3:1-2

Biblical Context

The LORD speaks to Jonah a second time, instructing him to arise, go to Nineveh, and proclaim the message given.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mindful reader, the second word is not a repetition but a higher frequency of your own mind. The 'word of the LORD' is the I AM, the awareness that speaks from within, and Nineveh is the inner city of your beliefs—the place where you live out what you imagine. When Jonah receives it the second time, it signals that your inner state is ready to be moved from idle thought to decisive action. The preaching you are bid to utter is not about external prophecy; it is the command you give to your own assumption—act as though the state you seek is already yours. The resistance you once felt dissolves as you comply with the inner decree, aligning attention, feeling, and intention. By revising your assumptions to say 'I arise and go,' you step into the reality you have already imagined. The external event of Nineveh becomes a mirror of your inward conversion, proving that imagination creates reality when you merge with the inner word.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and repeat 'I arise and go now' as though the inner word has already spoken. Feel the authority of I AM in your chest and let that conviction guide your steps toward your own Nineveh today.
