Gathering Under Wings of I AM

Matthew 23:37-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Matthew 23 in context

Scripture Focus

37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23:37-39

Biblical Context

Jesus laments Jerusalem's repeated rejection of the prophets and longs to gather them. He warns the city will be desolate until they affirm the coming of the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jerusalem in this teaching is not a place but a state of consciousness that will not receive the nudges of Spirit. The prophets are the inner whispers you know you should heed; to kill them is to deny the living presence within. The hen gathering her chickens is the I AM, ever ready to enfold every idea and fear under its wings. The desolate house is the old thought-structure that cannot hold the new order of awareness until you make a different inner choice. The line about you shall not see me henceforth until you say Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord becomes your moment-to-moment invitation: when you declare the inner arrival, you see the Lord coming as your own awareness. Practically, you are the one who decides what you accept as real; the world mirrors your present inner state. So, revise the sense of separation, assume you are already gathered, and feel the hen-wings wrapping you in safety, until the sense of desolation dissolves into presence.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and, as a deliberate assumption, declare, I am gathered under the wings of the I AM. Then feel the warmth of that presence until the sense of desolation dissolves.
