Neville Goddard on Micah 2:6-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Micah 2:6-11

Biblical Context

Micah 2:6-11 rebukes false prophets who prophesy for shame and calls Jacob to seek true guidance from the Spirit. It exposes social injustice, invites departure from a polluted rest, and warns that deceitful prophecy leads to destruction.

Neville's Inner Vision

Names and images in Micah are not distant facts but states of your mind. Prophesy not to them that prophesy is the siren call to seek counsel outside your awareness; it invites you to listen within where the I AM speaks. The house of Jacob is your inner stance; when the spirit of the LORD is not straitened, your awareness is free of fear, habit, or pride, and words that align with upright living begin to heal your patterns. The people rising as an enemy, the robe torn from passing by, signal the shedding of old pretenses and the removal of security built on appearances. The women taken from pleasant houses and glory withdrawn speak of cherished external comforts; depart from that rest, for it is polluted and will destroy you only when you cling to it. If a man walking in spirit and falsehood lie, promising wine and strong drink, he will be the prophet of this people, i.e., the mind that uses intoxicating setups to masquerade as truth. Your work is discernment and inner alignment: hear the true guidance within, and let your rest be the rest of the I AM, now.
