Neville Goddard on Luke 17:28-29 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 17 in context

Scripture Focus

28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Luke 17:28-29

Biblical Context

People go about ordinary activities—eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—until Lot leaves Sodom, when fire and brimstone suddenly destroy them. The passage highlights the swift interruption of routine by judgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville reading, the days of Lot map your inner life. The ordinary acts—eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building—are outward signs of a fixed consciousness. When Lot goes out of Sodom, you are invited to abandon that old identification; the fire and brimstone are the fiery clarity of awareness purifying fear, lack, and separation. What rains down is your inner conviction turning into outward circumstance, a demonstration of your state of being. Imagination is not dreaming apart from you; it is the I AM at work, and by assuming the state of your desire and feeling it real, you are burning away the old structure to reveal a new kingdom within. Judgment becomes self-accountability to your own creative power, while the promise is the liberty you awaken to when you persist in the new feeling and new story.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume you already possess your desired state; feel the accompanying emotion as real, then revise the scene with a simple statement like I AM, and it is done.
