Neville Goddard on Micah 4:1-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

1But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

2And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

3And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

4But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

5For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

Micah 4:1-5

Biblical Context

The passage envisions God's house rising as the highest place, drawing all nations to learn His ways; war ends and people rest in abundant peace.

Neville's Inner Vision

All is within; the 'last days' mark the moment your awareness lifts. The mountain of the house of the LORD is the heightened I AM within you, exalted above every lesser state. The 'nations' are the many facets of your mind; when you flow to this inner mountain, you invite the Inner Teacher to teach you His ways and you choose to walk in those paths. The 'law shall go forth of Zion' becomes a living principle in your imagination—the law is your discipline of thoughts and feelings; through imagination you are governed by it. He shall judge among many people and beat swords into plowshares; this is the transmutation of conflict into productive energy when you refuse to identify with fear. They shall sit under their vine and fig tree; inner safety and abundance arise as you rest in God and reject the anxiety of external threats. All people may walk after their own god, but you walk in the NAME of the LORD your God forever by choosing your I AM as ruler of experience.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume you are already standing on the inner mountain of the LORD; feel the calm teaching flow through you and any fear dissolving. Then revise any lingering sense of lack by affirming, 'The law goes forth from Zion in me now, and I rest in God.'
