Neville Goddard on Nehemiah 6:6-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Nehemiah 6 in context

Scripture Focus

6Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.

7And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

8Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.

Nehemiah 6:6-8

Biblical Context

Nehemiah is told by enemies that he plans to rebel and become king; he denies the claim, insisting the reports are false and born of others’ minds.

Neville's Inner Vision

Nehemiah’s wall is not only bricks but a symbol of inner sovereignty. The rumor of rebellion and kingship arises as a projection from the outer world, echoing inner doubts about one’s control over consciousness. When he answers, 'There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart,' he teaches that events originate in inner states of belief. The true kingdom is the inner Judah—the I AM, the stable awareness that remains untouched by external chatter. To reclaim authority, one must revise the scenario from within, aligning with the fact that thoughts create appearances. The “king” and the prophets are inner narratives that can be stewarded or dissolved by awareness. By maintaining fidelity to the inner wall—an unwavering state of truth and purpose—you dissolve the rumor’s power and let the outer scene reflect your established consciousness. Thus, the kingdom is won by inner certainty, not by appeasing outer voices.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, assume the throne of your inner governor, and declare, 'There are no such things done as thou sayest; I am established in the truth of my I AM.' Feel this revision as real; then envision the wall complete and the rumors dissolving into still air.
