Neville Goddard on Matthew 10:21-22 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 10 in context

Scripture Focus

21And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Matthew 10:21-22

Biblical Context

Jesus speaks of family betrayal and persecution for his name. Enduring to the end means sustaining faith in the I AM regardless of outward appearances.

Neville's Inner Vision

View the betrayals not as external villains but as states of consciousness slipping into your awareness. A brother delivers another to death, a father child, and the children rise against parents—these are inner echoes showing you where fear, judgment, or separation has taken root in your own mind. The invitation to endure to the end is the invitation to stay with the I AM, the unshakable awareness that you are the womb of all scenes, not their victim. Hatred and persecution are the tremors of an old identification dying; do not fight them but revise them. Assume a new state: you are preserved, you are loved, you are free in that inner sense that cannot be touched by outer voices. When you persist in that state, salvation becomes your natural fruit, because you have dissolved the story of lack into the certainty of your inner reality. The inner kingdom of God is your dwelling place; all events are its movements, obedient to the I AM you truly are.

Practice This Now

In a quiet moment, silently assume the state corresponding to 'endurance'—the I AM awareness unmoved by outward appearances. See the family drama as a projection of your own belief, and feel it real: you already stand saved in that inner state.
