Noah and Lot: Inner Judgment
Luke 17:26-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 17:26-29 presents Jesus' parallel of Noah and Lot’s days with our own era, showing life continues in ordinary activity until a decisive moment arrives. The message points to judgment as an inner shift rather than merely external events.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Luke the 'days of Noah' and the 'days of Lot' are not places but states of mind you inhabit while awake. Your ordinary day—eating, drinking, marrying, building—reflects inner activity, until the moment you withdraw identification from the scene and stand as the I AM, the watcher of all thoughts. Noah enters the ark when you refuse to feed the old dream any longer; the flood and fire symbolize inner judgments that come when you finally realize events are appearances of your own consciousness, not masters over you. When you assume the posture of the I AM—imagining and feeling from that center—you reverse the tempo of your day. The destruction that comes is the dissolution of old identifications, not a catastrophe coming from outside. The Son of Man appears as your awareness widening to govern your entire experience. So the judgment is not a future threat but a present shift: you revise the day by aligning with the inner governor, and the outer world will reflect your new interior state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly and imagine you are Noah or Lot waking within your own consciousness. Revise the day by affirming, 'I am the I AM; this day is formed by my awareness, and every event answers to it.'
