Arise Into Nineveh Within
Jonah 3:2-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jonah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonah is commanded to go to Nineveh and deliver a message; he rises and enters the great city, warning that it shall be overthrown in forty days.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jonah's commission is not a travelogue but a script for consciousness. Nineveh is the vast inner city of the mind where impressions become fate. 'Arise' means you decide to shift attention to a higher state; 'go unto Nineveh' is turning toward a new mode of being; 'that great city' flags the magnitude of your inner life when redirected. The 'preaching' you deliver is the living Word of the I AM within—your belief voiced into form by imagination. When Jonah arose and went according to the word of the Lord, he personifies obedience to the inner directive. The inner journey unfolds in stages—'three days' journey' and 'a day's journey'—as preparations and entry into the new state. The forty days symbolize a probation window during which the old condition dissolves by the conviction that the new decree is already true. To overthrow means the old self yields to the new you consciousness has already become. Your mission, then, is to witness your own transformation by acting as if the change is real, guided by the I AM that is ever awake within you.
Practice This Now
Stand at the inner gates of Nineveh and declare, 'I am the transformation now.' Stay with the feeling that the old self is overthrown, as if the city has already changed.
