Neville Goddard on Nahum 1:3-5 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nahum 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

Nahum 1:3-5

Biblical Context

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power; He moves in the whirlwind and the storm, and nothing wicked escapes His judgment. The passage shows creation bending to His presence, with seas rebuked, rivers dried, mountains quaking, and the earth burned before Him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Nahum’s storm lies the movement of your own consciousness. The LORD’s way in the whirlwind is not distant weather but the fluid shift of your state when you refuse to believe limitation. The clouds are the dust of His feet—your thoughts becoming visible realities as you entertain them until they feel solid. When you affirm a state of unconditioned power, the inner sea of circumstance recedes and the rivers of doubt dry up. The mountains that stand in your way are not obstacles but old identifications dissolving before your settled I AM presence. The earth burned by His presence is the cleansing fire of awareness that purges stale self-image. This is not punishment but the natural justice of consciousness aligning with its true definition. Hold a new assumption: I am the power that rebukes chaos and makes all things new. Persist, and the outer world will answer in kind, as weather answers to the sun.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and declare inwardly: I am the power of God’s presence now. Feel the storm within dissolving as you embody the I AM, and observe your surroundings shift to reflect that truth.
