Neville Goddard on Luke 22:28-30 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 22 in context

Scripture Focus

28Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

29And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Luke 22:28-30

Biblical Context

Those who have remained with Jesus in his temptations are promised a kingdom, shared fellowship at his table, and authority to judge the inner tribes of Israel. The passage invites you to see these promises as an inner reality of your consciousness, not a distant national power.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, Luke's words are not a history to memorize but a doorway into the state you already inhabit. The temptations he mentions are not distant trials but the shifting beliefs of your own mind. Those who have kept company with the Christ within have not earned a crown by effort; they awaken to the I AM and are therefore appointed to a kingdom of consciousness that was theirs all along. The Father's appointment of the Son is the law of consciousness confirming what you already are. When you imagine your seat at the inner table and partake of the feast in that kingdom, you taste the reality you already possess. The table denotes intimate communion with the life that is your true being; the throne signifies the authority to govern the twelve facets of self--by alignment, revision, and decisive feeling. There is no separation between the I AM and your world; the ruling power is the discernment that declares, I AM here now, and so it is.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and assume you are seated at the inner table with the I AM. Feel the feast of consciousness as your own truth and declare, I am appointed to this kingdom now.
