Inner Day of Turning Hearts

Malachi 4:3-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Malachi 4 in context

Scripture Focus

3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Malachi 4:3-6

Biblical Context

Malachi 4:3-6 speaks of a day when the wicked are cast as ashes underfoot. It also calls for recalling Moses' law and promises Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers to children and children to their fathers, lest the earth incur a curse.

Neville's Inner Vision

Malachi 4:3-6 speaks of a day, but in Neville's sense that day is a shift of consciousness. The command to tread down the wicked is an instruction to you: rise above the troubling thoughts and imagined enemies and stand in a higher state where they appear as ashes under your feet because you no longer consent to their power. The line about remembering the law of Moses is the inner law you carry, a fixed principle in consciousness that orders your life by truth rather than fear. Elijah's coming is the inner renewal that turns the heart, not by external prediction but by your willingness to revise your inner dialogue until your sense of Father and Child is reconciled. When you imagine one generation embracing the other, you are rehearsing the unity that already exists in divine mind. If you persist in that inward turning, the perceived curse dissolves, because you have chosen a state in which resistance cannot take root. The earth as you know it finally reflects the harmony you permit in your inner life. So the day of the LORD is a daily practice of interior alignment that manifests outward peace.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of universal reconciliation. Picture a specific person and silently declare, I turn hearts today, and feel that inner unity as real.
