Neville Goddard on Matthew 21:42-44 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 21 in context

Scripture Focus

42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Matthew 21:42-44

Biblical Context

In Matthew 21:42-44, the rejected stone becomes the head of the corner, signaling that God's Kingdom arises from an inner state of consciousness rather than external authority. Resistance to this inner shift often leads to judgment and old patterns falling away.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner drama is the stone the builders rejected; the builders are your past thoughts clinging to separation. The stone becomes the head of the corner when you awaken to the I AM as your sole reality. The Kingdom of God moves from external authorities to a nation within you that bears fruits of peace, love, and clear sight. When you affirm, 'I am this stone; I am the cornerstone of my life,' you rewrite the building's blueprint with the power of awareness. To fall on this stone is to allow the old self to be broken; if the stone falls on you, the ego is ground to powder. Either way, the transformation is the Lord's doing, marvelous in your eyes, as your inner power rearranges your world.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, rest in the I AM, and declare, 'I am the stone and the cornerstone of my life.' Feel the old self dissolve as this awareness takes root and the Fruits of the Kingdom begin to emerge.
