Return of Inner Presence
Matthew 23:39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Matthew 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Matthew 23:39 records Jesus saying you will not see him again until you declare blessing upon the One who comes in the name of the Lord. It points to an inner shift where presence is recognized rather than awaited externally.
Neville's Inner Vision
The text does not threaten a distant future; it reveals that the 'seeing' of Christ is a state of awareness you awaken within. When you say 'Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord,' you are naming the inner arrival of the I AM, the living Presence that always stands at the door of your consciousness. The 'Him' you await is not a person, but your own inner realization. Until you affirm this blessed arrival, the eye of consciousness remains closed to the Christ within; once you assume the feeling-reality of the Presence, you begin to see with the inner eye and your external world shifts to reflect that inner government. This is not eschatology for tomorrow, but a practical revocation and acceptance: you revise disbelief into belief, you imagine the Presence and it manifests as your present experience. Your job is to dwell in the feeling that the Lord comes now, as your own I AM, and thus the kingdom is within.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the statement as your present fact: Blessed is the Presence within. Feel the coming of the Lord as your own I AM now, and let that felt reality govern your thoughts and actions.
