Neville Goddard on Jude 1:17-25 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jude 1 in context

Scripture Focus

17But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

18How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

19These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

22And of some have compassion, making a difference:

23And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

24Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:17-25

Biblical Context

Jude urges believers to recall the apostles' words, beware mockers, build through faith and Spirit, remain in God's love, show compassion, and trust that God can keep you blameless.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the words are not about distant doom but about the state of your own consciousness. The mockers and separation are the habitual thoughts and ego movements that pretend to rule outside of you. The Spirit is not an external force but the inner life of awareness that, when you align with it, you are not scattered by lusts but kept in unity. To build yourselves on your most holy faith is to choose, in every moment, a belief that you are already the I AM, nested in divine love. Praying in the Holy Ghost becomes the quiet listening to that indwelling voice and letting it renew your mind. Keep yourselves in the love of God by dwelling in that feeling of being loved and guided, and look for the mercy of Christ as a present, eternal present, not a distant reward. Compassion for some and saving others with fear is the inner decision to pull yourself and others out of destructive patterns by your own disciplined imagination. The One who is able to keep you from falling is the very consciousness you occupy; you are presented faultless in glory here and now.
