Inner Jerusalem Awakening

Luke 13:31-35 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 13 in context

Scripture Focus

31The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
32And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
33Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
35Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 13:31-35

Biblical Context

Pharisees tell Jesus to flee from Herod, but he chooses to continue his mission. He laments Jerusalem’s unwillingness to be gathered and protected.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the scene is not geographic history but a map of consciousness. Herod’s threat is the last whisper of a frightened ego trying to cancel the inner work you are already performing. 'Go ye, and tell that fox' becomes your naming of the petty mind that calls itself real. The words 'I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected' are a declaration of sustained power within your I AM—an assurance that healing and freedom are already accomplished in consciousness, not at some future hour. The line 'Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following' signals the unwavering commitment of your inward traveler; the journey you undertake is the movement of awareness, not the motion of time. Jerusalem represents the temple of your mind—when you would gather all your children under your wings, you invite a state of protection, wholeness, and unity. The warning 'your house is left desolate' invites you to release abandoned thoughts; and the final promise, 'ye shall not see me until...' is the inner shift when you awaken to the Christ within, acknowledging the Name of the Lord as your own I AM.

Practice This Now

Assume right now that you are the inner hen gathering all your beings under your wings. Feel the safety of that place and rest in the certainty that healing and unity are already present as your I AM.
