Neville Goddard on Luke 16:27-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 16 in context

Scripture Focus

27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Luke 16:27-31

Biblical Context

Luke 16:27-31 tells of the rich man who asks Abraham to warn his brothers; Abraham says they already have Moses and the prophets to hear, and even if someone rose from the dead, they would not be persuaded without listening to inner guidance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Luke 16:27-31, the surface self—the 'rich man' of separation—fancies an exterior miracle will wake others. Yet Abraham’s reply reveals the alchemy of true transformation: Moses and the prophets are the living law already within your consciousness. The place of torment is the habitual thinking that keeps you identified with lack and fear; the cure is not in signs but in turning attention inward to the inner commandments written on your heart. The ‘dead rising’ symbolizes a new movement of awareness when you align with the I AM, but if your state remains unchanged, even a miraculous sign cannot persuade you. The invitation is to shift your entire sense of self by hearing the inner guidance and revising your state accordingly, so repentance becomes a redirection of consciousness and life flows from that illumination.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Moses and the prophets speaking from within your own chest. Revise the sense of separation by declaring, I am the I AM, one with truth, and feel your inner nature shift into that unity.
