Neville Goddard on Micah 5:3-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

3Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.

4And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

5And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

6And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.

Micah 5:3-6

Biblical Context

Micah speaks of a time of restoration when the remnant returns. A ruler feeds in the strength of the LORD, bringing peace to the land.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner scripture is a map of consciousness. The birth Micah hints at is the moment a new state of awareness is born in you; the she who travaileth is your current attention, focused until it lands in the I AM. When that birth completes, the remnant—the other aspects of your self aligned with truth—returns to your awakened center, your Israel. Then you rise in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD your God, and you abide; that inward rule becomes great to the ends of the earth. This man is the peace—an inward order that quiets outer turmoil. The Assyrian stands for fear, invasion, or lack invading your land; your response is not force against it, but the realization that you already stand free. You awaken the seven shepherds and eight principal men of right thought to govern your mind, and deliverance comes as you recognize you have never left your God. The kingdom you seek is the awareness you are, not something you obtain from elsewhere.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, breathe, and assume the state of the inner king now. Repeat the revised belief, 'I AM the peace ruling in my mind; deliverance is mine this moment,' until it lands as felt reality.
