Neville Goddard on Leviticus 20:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Leviticus 20 in context

Scripture Focus

1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.

3And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.

4And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

5Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

Leviticus 20:1-5

Biblical Context

Leviticus 20:1-5 condemns offering seeds to Molech and threatens stoning; it also states that those who participate will be cut off from the community and that God’s face will be against the offender and their family.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine Molech not as a bronze god but as a state of mind that worships appetite over the living I AM. The 'seed' given to Molech is your life-force poured into a belief that you lack and must sacrifice to fear, status, or craving. When the text says 'I will set my face against that man,' hear the I AM withdrawing identification from the thought that you are defined by neediness. To 'give of his seed' to Molech is to commit your creative potency to a false god; to 'defile my sanctuary' is to sacrifice your sense of wholeness for a transient craving. The healing is simple: refuse the idol, claim your true allegiance to the God within, and hold the vision of yourself as already complete. The moment you assume that you are the I AM and that your temple is sacred, the pull of the idol loses force and your life returns to effortless holiness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM is the ruler of your temple. Feel it real that no idol governs you; breathe in holiness and affirm, 'I am free; wholeness is mine' until the sense of shift is felt.
