Inner Jerusalem, Timely Times

Luke 21:20-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 21 in context

Scripture Focus

20And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Luke 21:20-24

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.
