Neville Goddard on Matthew 21:8-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 21 in context

Scripture Focus

8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

Matthew 21:8-9

Biblical Context

An assembled multitude honors Jesus by laying garments and branches on the road, proclaiming him as the one who comes in the name of the Lord. It symbolically expresses surrender of outer life to the inner kingship of Christ.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a mirror of your own consciousness. The multitude who spread garments and lay branches is not a crowd external to you; it is the array of states you have consecrated to the awareness that you are the I AM. By laying your outer actions on the path before the Christ within—images you entertain, beliefs you cling to, fears you permit—you signal that the inner king has permission to ride through your life. The cry Hosanna is the soul's shout, Save now, for the I AM reigns. The Son of David stands for the Davidic king in you, the capacity to govern thoughts, choices, and feelings from a divine center. When you acknowledge the Lord in the name you call, you are acknowledging that reality is formed by consciousness, not by circumstance. Your kingdom is immediate, not distant; your inner procession makes the outer daybreak. Let your present awareness be the dust and the garments; let the branches be your acts of surrender to the I AM.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the I AM is king of your life in this moment. Visualize laying fears on the road and feel the inner authority directing your next moment.
