Neville Goddard on Nahum 3:1-7 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nahum 3 in context

Scripture Focus

1Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

2The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

3The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

4Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

5Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

6And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.

7And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

Nahum 3:1-7

Biblical Context

The passage proclaims woe on a city full of blood, lies, and plunder, with warlike sounds and many corpses. It ends with a declaration of God’s judgment, exposing nakedness and shame.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Nahum’s city not as a distant ruin but the state of your own consciousness when fear, lies, and attachments rule your thoughts. The 'bloody city' and its 'lie and robbery' are the inner claims that drive you to defend a separated self; the noises of whip and wheels are your persistent mental motions, the sword and spear your judgments, and the corpses the faded outcomes of those thoughts. The 'whoredoms' and 'witchcrafts' signify inner idols—images and charms—that you have trusted to govern nations within your psyche. Yet the Lord of hosts speaks from your I AM: I am against this, for I will uncover thy skirts, reveal thy nakedness, and shame shall be revealed not to punish but to free. When you let awareness reveal these hidden beliefs, the old city collapses, and Nineveh is laid waste in your mind. From that moment you look anew with the certainty that you can imagine and dwell in a purified city. Your world follows your inner state; choose a new end and align with truth.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and revise your inner state by declaring: I am the I AM, and this awareness exposes every lie; I now inhabit a purified city. Feel it real now.
