The Inner Kingdom Is Near

Luke 21:25-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Luke 21 in context

Scripture Focus

25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luke 21:25-33

Biblical Context

Luke 21:25-33 describes outward signs and upheavals that foretell a coming redemption; the deeper message is that the kingdom of God is an inward state that can be realized now.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s manner, the signs (sun, moon, stars, distress) are not distant omens but the fluctuations of your own consciousness. Fearful fruit arises when you identify with a past self; the shaking of ‘the powers of heaven’ mirrors the breaking down of old beliefs. The coming of the Son of Man appears not as a distant event but as the I AM awakening within you, revealing power and glory as your present awareness. When you notice these inner movements begin to pass, you are urged to look up and recognize that redemption is close, an inner season shift. The parable of the fig tree becomes your cue: as you witness inner shifts, you know the kingdom is near. Heaven and earth may fade in memory, yet the truth you dwell in—your eternal Word—remains. The practical implication: you must assume the state of the kingdom now, revise fear to faith, and feel it real until it becomes your permanent perception.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the kingdom realized now.' Feel the quality of that state in your chest and gut, then dwell there for several minutes, allowing every thought to be governed by this present awareness.
