Neville Goddard on Psalms 105:28-36 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Psalms 105 in context

Scripture Focus

28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

Psalms 105:28-36

Biblical Context

These verses recount a sequence of judgments on Egypt, depicted as outward events that accompany an inner decree. They point to deliverance as the turning of consciousness when one heeds the inner word.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Neville lens, the Egyptian plagues are not distant histories but forms of consciousness that respond to the living word of I AM. Darkness becomes the mind clinging to fading images; turning waters into blood signals a shift in perception where vitality is misnamed and misdirected. The frogs, the flies, the hail, the locusts appear as the weather of belief—jarring thoughts and conditioned patterns that crowd the field of awareness. Yet the psalm teaches a discipline: they did not rebel against his word, and thus the outer scene moves in harmony with the inner decree. Deliverance arises as a change of state, not a change of place or people. When the inner voice is trusted and the I AM is affirmed as the governing reality, the external arrangements align with that truth. The plagues are therefore invitations to persist in the assumed state until life itself takes shape from the within, revealing salvation as a liberated consciousness rather than a historical event.

Practice This Now

Assume the state of the I AM that knows itself as the only reality. In a moment of quiet, revise any lingering fear by affirming, 'I AM the reality here now.' Then imagine your life flowing from that decree, as if the land itself responds to your inner word with clarity, ease, and freedom.
