Neville Goddard on Micah 5:7-9 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Micah 5 in context

Scripture Focus

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 5:7-9

Biblical Context

The passage describes a faithful remnant as refreshing dew among many people and as a bold lion among beasts, signaling protection and triumph over adversaries. It speaks of sustained inner life that endures regardless of external conditions.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Micah passage, the remnant is not a geographic remnant but a state of awakened consciousness. The dew and the showers upon the grass are subtle, unclaimed impressions of the divine within you—quiet, persistent, unprompted by human favor. Your awareness, undistracted by crowds or the doubting mind, remains fresh and nourishing to every inner blade of thought. The remnant among the Gentiles is your lion-impulse: a young lion among the flocks, fearless and precise, moving through life with decisive energy, trampling fear, tearing apart limitation, and leaving no appetite for failure. This is not a boast of conquest but the natural momentum of I AM when it asserts itself. The verse promises that thine hand shall rise against adversaries and the enemies shall be cut off; consider the adversaries as beliefs, habits, or conditions that once argued against your worth. When you awaken to your true nature, you do not battle enemies; you realize them dissolved by the light of your inner sovereignty, your private kingdom governed by the crown of awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of being the dew from the Lord, refreshing your inner grass. Then imagine rising like a lion within your inner field, treading fear and declaring I AM over every adversary in your life.
