Neville Goddard on Matthew 24:3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Matthew 24 in context

Scripture Focus

3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Matthew 24:3

Biblical Context

On the Mount of Olives, the disciples privately ask Jesus when these things will happen and what signs will accompany his coming and the end of the world. The passage centers on their desire for outward markers and precise timing.

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, the 'things' spoken of are states of consciousness, the 'signs' are inner movements, and the 'coming' is the I AM awakening within. The Mount of Olives becomes a symbol for contemplative posture where you revise your sense of self from fear to faith. Jesus' private discourse reveals that the outer calendar never truly determines life; life is the inward movement of awareness. To the reader, the question shows humanity's habit of seeking external proofs before believing in the Kingdom. Neville would say: the Kingdom is not a place to be awaited but a state to be assumed now. The 'end of the world' is the end of the old self-definition—the ego's story about scarcity, danger, and lack. When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, your inner weather shifts and 'the signs' you observe in the world rearrange themselves to reflect your newly clarified state. The coming of Christ in you is not future arrival but the renewal of consciousness; the Kingdom is within, and all prophecy points to your own inner awakening.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the kingdom now—the I AM within you. If doubt arises, revise the scene to 'I am within the Kingdom of God now' and dwell there until certainty returns.
