Nineveh’s Pool Within
Nahum 2:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Nahum 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Nahum 2:8-10 depicts Nineveh as an old pool that will be emptied; the inhabitants flee and cling to wealth, yet outer riches fail to save the inner self. The passage signals that genuine security comes from within, not from possessions.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, Nahum's portrait is your inner life when the mind clings to an image of security built on outward wealth. The old Nineveh, pool-like, is the thought-form you hold when you believe life is a store of gold and furniture, something you must defend. The flee and the cry Stand describe the stubborn ego that cannot see beyond the surface; yet no one looks back because the I AM, your true awareness, refuses to chase yesterday’s illusion. When you feel the call to take spoil, remember: the spoils are not external coins but the sense that life can be bought, owned, or controlled. And so the store seems endless, while the heart grows cold and the body registers fear and shame—empty signs that the old mind has run its course. The passage ends in emptiness, vacancy, and waste, but that is only the falling away of a false premise. The light remains: you are the I AM, eternally abundant, unthreatened by external change. When you turn toward that inner wealth, the fear dissolves, and the city you seek becomes the quiet center of consciousness.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume I AM as your sole treasury, feel inexhaustible security within, and revise the scene so the old city of wealth empties while your awareness remains abundantly full.
