Overrunning Flood of Consciousness
Nahum 1:8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nahum 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse speaks of a flood that ends the place and darkness pursuing its enemies. It can be read as a symbolic cleansing of a mental state by a mighty, transformative force.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, Nahum’s line is not a boast of external armies but a revelation of your inner world. The overrunning flood is the inexhaustible river of your own awareness, the I AM that sweeps through the mind and ends the old habitation you once called 'place.' Darkness pursuing enemies is fear, doubt, and limitation that try to cling as you awaken. When you imagine the end of the place, you are not pleading with fate but claiming your capacity to rearrange consciousness. The 'utter end' of the place is the dissolution of the old pattern, not a catastrophe but a turning of attention toward the light that you already are. The flood does not strike you; it displaces you from limitation into freedom, leaving no room for the old enemy to stand. As you dwell in this truth, the apparent power of darkness shrinks, and you recognize that events are inner movements of consciousness, not distant judgments. Your creative imagination becomes the instrument by which you decree reality: the end is now, the night vanishes, and the dawn remains as your continued awareness.
Practice This Now
Assume and feel-it-real: 'I am the flood that ends the old self.' Let the light of awareness sweep through the mind until fear dissolves.
