Neville Goddard on Judges 13:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Judges 13 in context

Scripture Focus

21But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.

22And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.

Judges 13:21-22

Biblical Context

An angel of the LORD stops appearing, and Manoah and his wife realize they have witnessed the divine. Fear grips them, muttering that they must die for having seen God.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner drama of Judges, the 'angel of the LORD' is a symbol of the awakening I AM within you. When Manoah fears death after seeing God, he reveals the old belief that consciousness encounters Itself and fears annihilation. Neville teaches that God is not an external event but your own awareness—the I AM that never dies. The moment you acknowledge that God is present as your consciousness, fear dissolves and what remains is a heightened sense of blessed life. The so-called visitation is a shift in inner state, a realization that you are not bound to the body-mind, but are the living presence itself. Therefore, revise your sense of encounter: assume you have already met God and that this meeting confirms your safety and worth. Let the world around you testify to the inner conviction of unity with divinity, and let your life unfold from the certainty that God and you are one.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, declare 'I AM' as the living God within you, and feel the certainty of safety that follows from recognizing your oneness with divine presence.
