Neville Goddard on Nahum 1:5-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nahum 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Nahum 1:5-6

Biblical Context

The passage portrays a supreme presence so powerful that mountains tremble and the earth burns. It asks who can stand before its indignation and fierceness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Nahum’s image as a mirror of your own inner state. The mountains that quake and the earth that burns at presence are the outer effects of an inner conviction—your awareness pressing on every corner of your mind. The 'indignation' and 'fierceness' are not distant threats; they are the sharpening edge of imagination when you refuse to identify with lack. The fury poured out like fire and the rocks cast down symbolize the collapse of old assumptions under the heat of a new, unassailable I AM. When you choose to live from the I AM—your essential awareness—you become the cause, not the effect. The universe you see aligns with the state you hold in consciousness. Therefore, practice one thing: assume a state you desire as already yours, feel it real, and permit the revision of past limits to follow. The world will respond as the Rock yields to the living Presence within you.

Practice This Now

Impose the state now by quieting the mind, placing a hand on your chest, and saying 'I AM' as if you truly are the Presence. Then, for a few minutes, feel the desired condition as already real and revise any limiting belief into its higher form.
