Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 6:15-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

15So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

16And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

Nehemiah 6:15-16

Biblical Context

The wall is finished in fifty-two days. When enemies and surrounding nations see it, they are cast down, recognizing that God wrought the work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the finished wall is not merely a construction of stone but a symbol of inner alignment. The builders do not overcome an external obstacle; they assume the state of completion in the I AM and then the world reflects it. The enemies’ reaction—shocked and cast down—announces that their ‘proof’ is the outer image of an inner conviction. Neville-style reading: what you see in the outer is the echo of your inner assumption. When you assent to the truth that the work is finished within, time folds to that state and manifests as form. Providence and Guidance are simply the reliable operation of your own consciousness under the rule of God, the I AM. So revise now: declare that the wall is complete, that you have already passed the test, and that the results are the evidence of your God-wrought life. Feel the relief, the gratitude, the confidence, and walk in that awareness; this is true worship and the highest form of faith.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, revise your current challenge by stating, 'The wall is finished in the I AM'; feel the relief as if it is already so, then move through your day from that certainty.
