Neville Goddard on Micah 5:6-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

7And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.

8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.

9Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.

Micah 5:6-9

Biblical Context

The passage foretells deliverance from foes, the remnant living as dew in the midst of a multitude, and a fierce inner power that defeats enemies.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses reveal a law of inner conquest. Assyria and Nimrod here symbolize stubborn habits of fear that haunt the mind; the sword and the borders mark the discipline of belief that cuts through limitation. The remnant of Jacob is not a distant tribe but a fixed awareness, a dew from the LORD that rests on mental soil and does not wait on human clockwork. When this dew takes residence, the mind becomes a field where fear is not nourished, and the 'lion among the beasts' emerges as your steadfast I AM presence—bold, watchful, and capable of treading through appearances without end. As this inner state matures, your adversaries are dissolved by the power that rises from within, until the sense of separation falls away and you live as the living evidence of deliverance. The promised invasion of the foe becomes a natural renewal of your consciousness, a fresh spring of life that speaks from within and bears witness to your true freedom.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and speak I AM as the ruler of your thoughts, assuming you are already delivered. Feel the dew-like presence resting on your mind and let fear dissolve in the light of that awareness.
