Nunc Dimittis Inner Peace

Luke 2:29-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 2 in context

Scripture Focus

29Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Luke 2:29-32

Biblical Context

Simeon's words express a serene departure in peace after recognizing salvation prepared for all people. They proclaim a light for Gentiles and the glory of Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened I AM, Luke's utterance is not a history lesson but a manual for the inner disciple. 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace' becomes a declaration of letting go of fear and the old story of separation, as you, in the present I AM, acknowledge that God’s salvation has already been prepared within you for all people. Salvation is not future deliverance but the recognition that your awareness itself is the light that enlightens every corner of your mind. When you say 'mine eyes have seen thy salvation,' you are not describing a vision in time but the moment your inner sight opens to the truth that the beloved is here now, in your breathing, in your decisions, in your acts of love. 'A light to lighten the Gentiles' points to the parts of you that have not yet welcomed light—the shadows of doubt, fear, and limitation—being illumined by the indwelling light of God. And 'the glory of thy people Israel' is the radiant identity of God within you, your wholeness shining as a sign for others. Trust the Word, revise fear, and dwell in the peace that flows from the awareness of your own salvation.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume the peace-state as your natural awareness; affirm 'I am the light that enlightens the world' and feel it real.
