Neville Goddard on Micah 3:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 3 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

4Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Micah 3:2-4

Biblical Context

Micah 3:2–4 condemns those who hate good and harm the vulnerable, and warns that God will turn away from them because of their deeds. It signals that petitions without inner repentance fail because the inner state shapes reality.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the temple of your own mind, the ones who hate good are the stubborn states of consciousness that resist justice. When you identify with harm—believing that life is to be chipped away or flayed—your inner self becomes the oppressor, and the I AM withdraws its hearing from that state. The cries to the Lord then arise as a petition from a mind that has forgotten its power to imagine anew; the silence you meet is not cosmic punishment but the natural result of nurturing a caldron of fear within. The remedy is not changing others but changing your own assumption. Assume that you are the good you seek to express; revise the story so that your inner weather favors truth, mercy, and justice. Feel the inner state as real: I AM the constancy that loves good, hearing every petition with attentive life. When you rest in that revision, your inner Lord returns, and your outer world follows a new cadence of order and fairness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, feel the I AM within, and declare, 'I am the good that loves good.' Hold that feeling as if you are hearing every petition from a just heart, and let the inner state prove itself through quiet certainty.
