Neville Goddard on Micah 3:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?

2Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

3Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

Micah 3:1-3

Biblical Context

Micah 3:1-3 denounces the leaders who should know judgment, exposing their hatred of good and love of evil, expressed in brutal violence toward the people. It is an inner-call to discern and revise the consciousness that governs our life.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text, the heads and princes are not distant rulers but states of consciousness within you. The charge that they hate good and love evil reveals the inner law: when your mind identifies with a self that seeks power, comfort, or control, you devour the life of others by your judgments, fears, and justifications. The graphic image of skin, flesh, and bones is symbolic language for the form and texture of your thought-world—what you take into your system when you dwell in separation. Micah’s judgment is really a call to awareness: discernment must be exercised not to condemn but to revise. When you awaken to the I AM—the aware, unconditioned you—these "leaders" bow and are replaced by a heart that seeks truth, mercy, and justice. The outer scene in your life will reflect this inner revision; your relationships, work, and health will shift as you stop feeding the old tribal appetites and begin feeding the new righteousness within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: for 1–2 minutes, assume a state of inner governance where I AM rules with mercy. Visualize the heads bowing to your higher self and feel the new justice moving through your life as you repeat, 'I am the I AM, governing with mercy.'
