Inner Jerusalem, Timely Times
Luke 21:20-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Luke 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Luke 21:20-24 speaks of Jerusalem surrounded by armies, urging the faithful to flee the city, acknowledging these are days of vengeance, distress, and captivity until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
Neville's Inner Vision
Say to yourself: Jerusalem is within; the armies gathered about it are the clashing thoughts of fear and desire that rise when you identify with lack. When you see the outer city besieged, trust that the desolation foretold is the collapse of old, limited self-conceptions. The instruction to flee to the mountains is not escape from history but a turning away from the crowd-pleasing, material-minded view. Withdraw your attention from the nations entering and set your heart in the higher realm of I AM awareness. These days of vengeance are the turning of your inner weather—old judgments replaced by the conviction of the desired state. The distress is your cue to revise, not to resist, until you inhabit the state of peace, power, and gratitude. The Gentiles' dominion over Jerusalem lasts until you cease measuring yourself by transient appearances and accept the Kingdom within as already complete. In short: know that you are the I AM; every scene of trial is a signal to revise your assumption until the inner kingdom manifests.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, I AM that I AM now, imagining you already dwell in the inner Jerusalem—peaceful, free, and victorious. Then revise any lingering fear by feeling the state you desire as already real.
