Neville Goddard on Jude 1:4-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Jude 1 in context

Scripture Focus

4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

6And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 1:4-7

Biblical Context

Jude warns that some have crept in unnoticed, turning grace into license and denying Jesus. He cites examples—Israelites who believed not, rebellious angels, and cities like Sodom—awaiting a fitting judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's lens, these lines describe inner patterns that creep into consciousness. The 'certain men' are stubborn states that slip past your guard, turning grace into license when you forget the I AM within. The 'old ordained' are long-standing habits of thought that pretend to serve while destroying true power. The 'Lord God' and 'our Lord Jesus Christ' are not external rulers but the I AM—awareness you either acknowledge or deny. When I identify with fear, lust, or pride, I abandon my first estate and surrender to lesser power, like angels who left their home. The examples of Egypt and Sodom show that, if I persist in disbelief, the inner judgment must arise as correction. Yet the remedy remains: return to the recognition that grace is presence—my own living awareness—governing all. With that return, judgment becomes guidance and the inner fire purifies rather than consumes.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare I AM the Lord God of my life. Then revise any thought that denies this sovereignty, feeling the truth move through you until it feels real.
