Neville Goddard on Micah 4:9-12 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 4 in context

Scripture Focus

9Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.

10Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.

11Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.

12But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

Micah 4:9-12

Biblical Context

Micah 4:9-12 describes Zion’s pain as childbirth and its promised deliverance. Nations threaten Zion, yet God redeems by gathering the inner life into a harvest.

Neville's Inner Vision

Know this: Zion’s distress is the inward pressure of a new consciousness asking to be born. There is a king in thee, and a counsellor that cannot perish; the pangs you feel are the soul pressing through the old to reveal the sovereign self. Babylon is the field of your own mind where you wander until you stand in your authority. The delivering is already accomplished in your imagination; the I AM you awaken into is the deliverer. As the sheaves are gathered into the floor, so your experiences are drawn by your inner assumption into a harvest of a new consciousness. The nations surrounding you symbolize dormant beliefs that would defile your sense of self; yet they know not the thoughts of the LORD—the inner plan you entertain. Therefore, allow the inward LORD to gather them, and your life will be redeemed from the hand of your enemies.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, take three breaths, and assume the state 'I AM the King in Zion now.' Feel the weight of sovereign authority in your chest and let the sense of deliverance enter as your immediate reality.
