Inner Prophets and Judgment

Matthew 23:34-36 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 23 in context

Scripture Focus

34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Matthew 23:34-36

Biblical Context

Jesus announces that God sends prophets, wise men, and scribes, yet many of them will be killed or scourged by this generation. The verse ties that violence to the generation itself, claiming that all righteous blood shed will come upon it.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s world, the words are not external history but the movement of consciousness. When Matthew says I send prophets, wise men, and scribes, you are told He sends new ideas and higher faculties into your awareness. The ones you kill, scourge, and persecute are the stubborn beliefs that deny these messengers. Do not fear the verdict passed on ‘this generation’; see it as a clear image of your own current state: when you resist truth, you permit the old blood game to play out in your life. The blood shed from Abel to Zacharias becomes the record of every time you chose fear, guilt, or self-attack instead of faith and integrity. Yet the entirety of that record exists only in your present sense of self. By turning to the I AM, by assuming the feeling that you are now the prophet, the wise man, the scribe, you reverse the scene. The generation you inhabit becomes a field where justice is cultivated by your awareness, not by outside authorities. Your task is to awaken the inner witness who does not condemn but accepts responsibility for imagining and thus realizing truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the prophets to yourself now. Revise a current situation by hearing a bold messenger of truth within, and feel that voice as your I AM, real in this moment.
