Soon the Wicked Passes
Psalms 37:10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 37 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse suggests that the current power of the wicked is temporary, and their place will be revealed as empty. It points to an inner shift that dissolves appearances of injustice when consciousness is aligned with a higher state.
Neville's Inner Vision
Beloved, this verse speaks of the end of a temporarily dominant state—not a judgment upon others, but a revelation within consciousness. The 'wicked' are not persons to be fought but old mental states that seem to reign in the market of fear, envy, and timebound thinking. In the light of your I AM, observe that such a state is temporary; you are the one who calls outcomes into being by what you assume in imagination. To him who asks for the end of the wicked, the answer is: end your identification with that state. Dwell in the awareness that the place of that counterfeit power is dissolved when you shift your attention to the true ruler inside: the silent, steady I AM. You will notice that as you steadily assume a higher order in your inner world, the appearance of darkness passes away, and the rightness you seek—justice, providence, guidance—flows as natural as dawn. The text urges you to look within and know that the shifting of a state changes the world of effects without external struggle.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM; the old wicked state ends now within me.' Feel a calm, bright energy fill your chest; dwell in this new inner state for a moment, and observe the outer scenes quietly shifting to reflect inner justice.
