Neville Goddard on Malachi 1:2-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Malachi 1 in context

Scripture Focus

2I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,

3And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Malachi 1:2-3

Biblical Context

God declares he loves Jacob and contrasts him with Esau. The people question this favor, and the text points to the inner state that governs outcome.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the LORD speaks as your I AM: I have loved you; you have yet to understand, for you have wandered in Esau's fields. Jacob and Esau appear as inner states, not as bloodlines. Jacob is the conscious choice to inhabit the promised state of favor—the intimate sense that you are guided, cherished, and supported. Esau embodies the opposite impulse: haste, appetite, and belief in separation that drains your well of power. When you assume Jacob, the mental mountains recede and your heritage becomes a living presence: your days are governed by gratitude, not struggle. The dragons of the wilderness—fear, doubt, scarcity—lose their grip because the I AM you live by is the I AM that blesses and provides. Your life becomes the visible echo of an inner decree: love has chosen you, and you have chosen to remain in love. Rehearse this by imagining the world rearranging to mirror your inner covenant, and feel the state of Jacob as your true and constant condition.
