Matthew 2:23 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Matthew 2:23 places Jesus in Nazareth, symbolizing an inner dwelling where God's presence is revealed. Nazareth represents the humble, private state of consciousness in which you are called to realize the divine.
Neville's Inner Vision
To Neville, Nazareth is not a geographic fact but a state of consciousness—the quiet, unassuming center where the I AM dwells. When the text says he came to dwell in a city called Nazareth, it points to the moment your sense of self shifts into the humble inner life where the prophets’ promise is fulfilled. The designation Nazarene marks an inner identity set apart from outward appearances, a recognition that the Kingdom of God is already within your own being and not waiting for some distant event. Prophecy speaks as the inner law that your awareness can align with, turning external narratives into reflections of your internal state. By accepting that you are the one who already carries this sacred designation, you invite the presence of salvation and redemption into your ordinary days. The path is not outward conquest but a deepening of consciousness—the I AM inhabiting your private life, making the kingly rule of God a present experience in you.
Practice This Now
Sit in silence and imagine a small inner city named Nazareth as your base of operations. Quietly declare 'I am the I AM here,' and linger in the feeling that this divine presence is already real in your life.
