Neville Goddard on Micah 2:8-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

Micah 2:8-10

Biblical Context

Micah 2:8-10 exposes oppression and calls you to depart from a polluted rest. It points to the true rest found in God, not in outer conditions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that 'my people' is not a distant nation but your own state of consciousness. The accusation that they rise up as an enemy signals inner resistance to the living presence of God within. The 'robe' and 'garment' ripped from those passing by symbolize the identities you wear to feel secure; the removal of my glory refers to losing sight of the I AM in you. Arise and depart—not to a physical place, but to a shift of consciousness away from the polluted rest of fear, judgment, and attachment. Your true rest is the still, unwavering awareness I AM—the dwelling place that remains untouched by external events. When you choose to inhabit that I AM now, you will discover that the outer conditions respond, not by coercion but by reflection, as if you have left the exilic mind and returned to your spiritual home. The inner kingdom is present; by a disciplined act of imagining and feeling-as-if, you awaken to rest that cannot be disturbed, thus transforming what you call life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume, 'I AM resting in God now.' See yourself already departed from the polluted rest of fear and loss, settling into the inner stillness that governs all.
