Inner Kingdom Parable: The Heir

Matthew 21:37-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 21 in context

Scripture Focus

37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Matthew 21:37-39

Biblical Context

An owner sends his son to the tenants, who, recognizing him as the heir, plot to kill him and seize the inheritance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the landowner’s son represents your I AM—the steady, aware you that cannot be killed by belief. The tenants are the old mind-states that would keep you in fear, claiming the field while denying the heir. When they see the son they cry, 'This is the heir; let us kill him, and seize on his inheritance,' which is your belief that the kingdom is not already yours. The act of dragging him out and slaying him mirrors a moment when you reject the higher self and settle for less. Yet the owner sends the son again—an inner truth that cannot be extinguished. The spiritual law here is that awareness endures; your resistance only reveals where you still identify with lack. Your work is to revise the inner scene: accept that the inheritance belongs to the I AM now, and feel the reality of that sovereignty in your heart. When you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the outer world aligns with justice, truth, and the Kingdom of God within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM is already true now; revise the scene by welcoming the son and owning the inheritance. Feel the throne of your consciousness, sovereign and unshakable, as if it is real in this moment.
