Inner Naming and Covenant Circumcision

Luke 2:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 2 in context

Scripture Focus

21And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Luke 2:21

Biblical Context

Luke 2:21 states that after eight days of circumcision, the child was named Jesus, exactly as the angel had foretold before his birth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of your mind, eight days symbolize a deliberate pause where the old self is cut away and the false identity is laid aside. The circumcision points to a cleansing of belief, making room for what you truly are in God-consciousness. The angel’s naming of Jesus is not merely a historical event; it is an inner recognition: your awareness naming itself as salvation. The child of the verse is the I AM taking form within your consciousness. The angel’s decree before conception reveals that your authentic self already exists as idea in divine mind, waiting for you to consent to that name in present experience. Thus, the passage invites you to release the ego’s labels and align with the name your inner God-dream has always borne. When you dwell in that I AM, events align with your inner reality, and the presence of God becomes tangible as your life is transformed.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and declare, I AM Jesus—the inner savior—now; imagine an eight-day cycle purifying your mind and sealing this name in your awareness, feeling it real in the present.
