Neville Goddard on Ruth 3:10-13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ruth 3 in context

Scripture Focus

10And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.

11And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

12And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.

13Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

Ruth 3:10-13

Biblical Context

Boaz blesses Ruth, calls her virtuous, and promises to redeem her if the nearer kinsman won’t; Ruth is told to wait until morning as the matter unfolds.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Ruth scene maps a state of consciousness. Ruth, the virtuous woman, embodies a disciplined inner life ready to receive a blessing from Boaz, the higher self, the I AM within. The nearer kinsman represents a lingering belief in lack or limitation shadowing your life. Boaz's pledge, 'I will do to thee all that thou requirest,' shows that your inner law is already prepared to fulfill every demand of your good. The city's knowledge of Ruth's virtue is the outer confirmation of an inward state you have already assumed. The night of waiting points to patience and trust; in the morning the Redeemer's action manifests. Neville teaches you are not chasing events but assuming states, so the outer scene rearranges to reflect the inner pattern. Dare to assume the end: feel the virtue of your being, know you are beloved, and permit the higher self to perform the kinsman's part. The redemption you seek is within your I AM; your task is to hold that reality until it dawns as experience. When you do, your life becomes the fulfilled covenant, a testament to what you consistently imagine within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume the end now—'I am redeemed.' Feel the virtue in every cell and sense the higher self stepping in to fulfill the covenant; rest in that state until it becomes your waking experience.
