Inner Judgment and Repentance
Matthew 12:41-42 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nineveh repented at Jonah's preaching, and the queen of the south sought Solomon's wisdom. Both will condemn this generation for its lack of turning to higher truth.
Neville's Inner Vision
These lines reveal that the men of Nineveh and the queen of the south are not distant travelers but inner states of consciousness within you. Jonah’s preaching is the call to repentance, a shift of your mental weather from fear and habit to faith and possibility. To repent is to revise your inner script; when you heed that call, you become Nineveh—the city of new thoughts waking within your own mind. The queen of the south represents your openness to true wisdom; when you invite the inner Solomon, you are listening to the living counsel of your own awareness. Then you are greater than Jonah or Solomon, for the greater is always the I AM—your consistent, present consciousness. Judgment here is not external condemnation but the inner recognition that you have moved to a higher state. Your outer circumstances will reflect the new inner state as you practice this shift. If you would experience it, refuse to argue with appearances and affirm that you are already the wiser, the more awake you in this very moment.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Sit quietly with a recurring habit and assume the inner repentance; declare, 'I am shifting my consciousness now.' Feel the truth of that new state as if you already live from wisdom within.
