Neville Goddard on Mark 13:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Mark 13 in context

Scripture Focus

14But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:

16And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

Mark 13:14-16

Biblical Context

Jesus speaks of upheaval: when the abomination of desolation appears, flee to the mountains and do not return for possessions. He warns not to linger on the housetop or in the field but to press onward.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 14 asks you to recognize a moment when the old order has become unbearable, not by worldly signs, but by the inner sense that the old self is finished. In this reading, the abomination is the belief that you are separate from God, a desolation within consciousness. The command to flee to the mountains is not geographic; it is a turning of attention to the I AM that stands above the turmoil of appearances. When you acknowledge this, you do not abandon life; you abandon the need to prove life through external possessions or status. The exodus is an inner departure from fear and doubt, a flight to a still, higher vantage point where you behold reality as your own dream fulfilled. Practice, then, is not escape but revision: assume the state you choose as already present, and feel it real until the outer world aligns with your inner setting.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and, in imagination, stand on the inner mountain, untouched by the chaos below. Rehearse the state of fulfillment: 'I AM the presence that creates the scene,' and let your outer circumstances align with that inner revision.
