Inner Nineveh: Forty Day Turning
Jonah 3:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jonah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonah proclaims doom over Nineveh. The people respond by believing God and turning through fasting and sackcloth.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jonah speaks as a voice within that announces a collapse of a former state of mind. The city of Nineveh represents a disposition of judgment that the I AM can overturn in a single season. When Nineveh believes God, the inner chorus of thoughts yields to a single certainty: God is here as awareness. The forty day clock is not a threat but a symbolic window in which a new inner movement takes root. The fast and the sackcloth are outward emblems of shedding pride and humbling the mind to receive the truth that has always resided in I AM. The people who seem greatest and least become one chorus because belief in God within the self calls forth repentance, not from fear but from alignment with divine reality now. Practice the same shift by assuming that the inner city can be overturned, that old condemnations are dissolved, and that mercy is the natural expression of your awareness.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the inner decree that this old judgment is overthrown in forty days. Feel the relief as you revise the scene with the I AM and clothe your mind in humility.
