Neville Goddard on Micah 2:1-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

1Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

2And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

3Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.

4In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.

5Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

6Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

7O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

8Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.

9The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.

10Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.

11If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.

12I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.

13The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

Micah 2:1-13

Biblical Context

Micah 2:1-13 condemns those who plot and seize fields and houses, oppressing families for gain. It declares judgment on crooked power, calls the people to depart from polluted rest, and promises restoration for the remnant.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Micah’s warning, you are invited to see the ‘they’ as states of consciousness—not external enemies. The ones who devise evil on their beds are your restless thoughts of possession, fear, and power; these are habits you can dissolve. The remedy is not withdrawal but a revision of the inner state: assume you already possess your rightful inheritance, and that no depiction of lack can overcome the I AM within you. When you feel the impulse to seize, remember that the true governor is your inner governor, the LORD at the head of your mind, guiding you to justice. The remnant spoken of is your quiet recognitions—truths you quietly inhabit. The breaker that comes up before them is the new birth of consciousness you choose in this moment, and the path you walk is led by that awareness into peaceful abundance. Your life becomes a field you tend with faith rather than fear, until the outer world merely reflects your inner triumph.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the feeling of your rightful abundance now. Sit in a quiet space and imagine your inner fields restored; feel the calm certainty that the I AM is directing your next moves toward justice and plenty.
