Inner Turning Toward Mercy
Jonah 3:9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jonah 3 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jonah 3:9 asks who can tell if God will turn from His fierce anger so that we may not perish; it points to mercy beyond judgment. It invites us to consider the timing of mercy.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville perspective, this verse speaks not of a distant God whimsically relenting, but of your own inner I AM deciding how reality will appear. The question 'Who can tell if God will turn and repent' dissolves when you recognize that God is the awareness in which all images arise. The fierce anger you read in the text is simply a stubborn pattern of thought and feeling; when you turn to a different assumption, that pattern loses its grip. If you live in the conviction that mercy is already turned toward you, you are not waiting for a divine moment to occur—you are authoring it now within the theater of consciousness. The moment you entertain the possibility that God has already relented toward your safety, the imagined walk toward destruction is displaced by a road of grace. This is not theology separated from experience but a practical shift in how you imagine your life. Practice an inner revision until the felt sense of mercy is your most immediate reality, and the outer scene will follow in alignment with that inner turn.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the end—mercy is already extended to you; feel it real in your chest, and dwell there until it becomes your dominant tone.
