Inner Signs and Repentant Destiny

Luke 11:29-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 11 in context

Scripture Focus

29And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Luke 11:29-32

Biblical Context

Jesus says this generation seeks a sign, but the true sign is inward turning; Nineveh repented, and a greater than Jonah is present, indicating inner judgment and discernment.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner vision Neville teaches, the crowd’s hunger for a sign reveals a consciousness stuck in outer appearances. The sign of Jonas is not a weathered miracle but the inward turning that occurs when you yield to an inner word and let it move you. Jonah’s appearance in the tale represents the inner message that comes to you as you listen to your own I AM. In that listening, the Son of Man awakens as your present awareness—greater than Jonah because the inner Christ is already here, not coming later. The queen of the south and Solomon symbolize discernment you can cultivate by turning attention away from spectacle and toward the Wise Presence within. The people of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah; so too, you repent by shifting your state of consciousness, changing the assumptions that govern your life. Judgment is therefore inward: you are judged by the inner alignment you affirm. When you accept this shift—feeling the truth of your divine nature—you’ll see the outer world respond as a natural mirroring of your inner state. The sign you seek is the sign you are.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and imagine you already possess the quality you seek; dwell in the feeling of that reality for a few minutes. Declare softly, 'I am the sign; I am already awake.'
